Jul 15, 2019 Today was an awesome day, we woke up and got our room cleaned, we cleaned our clothes, ate lunch, and went out and did some service. We swept in front of people’s houses for a long time! Afterwards I talked to this guy from New Jersey in English! It felt awesome, but he said I was a cool guy and he wants me to come to his house with all of his cousins to drink with them... I told him we can share a message about Christ. Then I told him that members of the church do not drink alcohol as I pointed to my name tag. He said well just take off your name tag and come along. I told him that’s not how it works... though sometimes it feels that way now a days, people can just change their morals for a moment than go back to the way they were before. I know when we lower our standards they never go back up to the same level. We then did have some awesome lessons. We found a family and taught them the plan of salvation, they had a lot of questions. Like why did the kids of Adam an...

July 1, 2019 Today was a good day, we went to Lambayeque and played Frisbee, and broke it, and played futbol and that was good. We then went back to the room and got changed and headed back to Jayanca, we got back and had no time to clean the room, or clothes for the morning but I got to talk with my family so that was nice. We came back to the room showered and headed out to teach! Today went by so fast, honestly the fastest day of my life, I was so busy, and I have so much to do and no time to do it all. Tomorrow I will figure it all out. I love you and good night! Jul 2, 2019 Well today was a good day, we taught Diego about tithing and fasting, and he learns so fast! So, we then taught him a little about temples, it was an awesome lesson. Afterwards we taught Noelia, she has a baptism interview tomorrow and does not have all the lessons, so tonight we taught word of wisdom, tithing, fasting, the 10 commandments, baptism and confirmation, follow the prophet, prayer, obedien...

Jun 24, 2019 Today was a good day, we got up, cleaned the room, washed our clothes, I got a smokin hot haircut, then we headed into Lambayeque to play futbol. I had a header, so I was pretty pumped up about that. We did not keep score, but my team had to of won 15-2 at least. I got to see Elder Watson and another Elder from my ccm group again today so that was nice. Sister Balderrama called me and said our desks came in and we needed to pick them up. We went into Chiclayo and got to the offices and then she told us that a delivery truck was going to bring them to us next week... so that was 2 hours and 30 soles well used! Ha-ha but I got to see Elder Huff my companion from the ccm so that made it all worth it! We then came back to Jayanca and taught an amazing family and they were so inviting and learned so well! I have high hopes for him in the future! I love you and good night. Jun 25, 2019 Today was a good day, we had a weekly planning session and that was not very eventfu...
