Earthquake- Again!

Max experienced his second earthquake while serving in Peru. The first was an 8.0 in February and this one was a7.7 and both were entertaining to him. Silly boy! The first one he had no idea what was happening and thought his companion was shaking the bed to wake him up before the alarm went off. This time he just rode his bed across the bedroom with a smile on his face.

I must apologize for not writing a lot last week, we have been really busy here in Jayanca. Today was fun we went to Motupe and did an activity where the whole district contacted in there for an hour! It was fun and afterwards we went out to eat and typical Latinos= none of them had money so I paid for it all. I think it’s reimbursable. Afterwards we got ice cream and we headed back to Jayanca, we then cleaned the room, our clothes, and our teeth. Always good to do a one and done deep clean for the week! We then called families and went out to teach. Jesus has been close to impossible to contact every visit with him has fallen through, not wanting to get married, kid fell out of taxi, and today his brother got arrested... but we had a lot of good visits, both of the moto taxies we had were old investigators and want us to come back and visit them again! Score! No hay suerte solo milagros, there is no such thing as luck only miracles. My comp today told me something that was awesome, he said an 11-year-old deacon with the priesthood has more power and authority than the Pope. I thought that was awesome! I love you and good night

Today we had a district meeting and my companion is amazing! He led the meeting with such power! Afterwards we had an intercombio with the zone leaders, they are awesome Elders, and the pench that they have is amazing. She cooks them waffles and pancakes! She did not cook any for me but she did prepare a juice and it was probably a sin because you know how the world works, if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably because it is! What I’m trying to say is there’s got to be a catch to it, it was orange juice soda, and manaqueia. I do not have a lot of time tonight. I love you and good night.

today we ended the intercambio and headed back to Jayanca, I spent so much time in vans traveling from one town to the other these past few days, because when we got back to Jayanca we had to head back to Motupe to do a baptism interview. It went really well. Eñ Tituana, she is awesome, knew all the answers and had a super strong testimony. Afterwards we went back to Jayanca and taught some good lessons, we taught a mom about baptism.... she said she had already been baptized so we explained in every shape and form the importance of the correct baptism and practically cut her head off. She did not accept. I love you and good night

Today was a nice day we taught some new people and found 6 new investigators, and taught a family of 10 people all teenagers so I kinda felt like a prophet from the book of Mormon teaching a large group of people. They all are really ready to act on their faith and they get a crack out of my jokes! I did not know how to say deep fried so I just made the noise and they died laughing! But other than that not a lot happened today, I love you and good night

Well I got called down to the offices again today to do something for my visa. I think they mixed up the papers because I walked in the door at the visa office and the elders there said to go back to my area and come back in 2 weeks... ok I know they mixed up the papers. So, we spent 5 hours and 22 bucks on traveling. we got back to the area and were just kind of off today, not a lot of contacts, lessons, or invitations. but Jesus has a fecha for the 7th of June! Him and his wife are solid and we are ready for smooth sailing! And on a good note too, I got to talk with Elder Huff and Elder Walker all day today! So that was awesome! I love you good night

Today we had conference of branches, so we went into Chiclayo. Our branch president had a bus come and pick up all the members, so we did not have to be in a convey, and it was awesome! I slept like a rock both ways. Our guest speaker was.... odd, it was like he did not know he had to give a talk and was just improvising. He talked about, temples, missionaries, the branches, leaders in the church, and more. He had like no direction or theme. But it was good to see all of the other Elders. we then had a weird night teaching, it is never the same when we do not have personal study or anything. So I was in a funk. But I’m good now and I love you and good night.
