Well folks we are moving in on Christmas! Today was a good day, we went to the offices to get some books and cards for some of the areas and so I could talk to president. It went really well, so we then went and had district council and yeah it was alright.... we had to fill out the arqueo as well and I’m pretty sure I messed it up but I sent it in anyway. We did not have any lessons today with the people we are preparing to be baptized, but we did find some new people and it was awesome how the Lord put them in our path. One example- we knocked on a door and the person in the 3rd floor on the other side of the road said, “Hey They are not home.” So we started talking to her and she is now a new person we are teaching. She has never talked to missionaries before and it's probably because she lives on the third floor! I love you good night

Today I got to know Elder Hastings, he's from Las Vegas and loves computer games. He only has 2 weeks in the mission so he doesn't know the language perfectly, but with a little more practice he will be unstoppable. Our visits fell through today so it was hard to invite people to baptism or get a rest from walking if you know what I mean. But we did have a light at the end of the tunnel, a family night and the members invited two friends to join us. It was an amazing share! And it really put a high note on the day! I love you good night

Well today was a good day, I'm really sick but I was blessed with enough strength to do an interchange with Villa Hermosa or lovely valley. I was with Elder Moya. He has 20 something days left in his mission and has amazing drive to keep the work going through. The visits were not there but I got to know him really well! Then at the end of the day he yells to me, “Hey president is down stairs....” President and Sister Balderama did a surprise room check. And let’s just say we did not pass, and we both got burnt pretty bad. I love you good night

Today was a little better, we ended the interchange and I'm not as sick. A few of the year's lessons fell through and so that was a good way to listen to the spirit in what we needed to do next year. We taught two young girls of 11 and 10 years and we were teaching about prophets with my image book. They asked me if they had snakes on the ark, and I said well of course! Here we see both of Noah's daughters... along with two of every type of animal. My companion laughed so hard in the lesson. We also did a practice lesson with a new family here in the ward from Buenos Aires, Argentina. They had a heavy accent! The Y noise here in Peru is a SH in Argentina. They were both amazing!  They are both return missionaries with their kid and the dad was a bishop! We learned a lot in the practice! I love you good night

Today was an awesome day, we had a rough time planning the day because we don't have many people to visit but we said a prayer and afterwards my companion said we will have 2 new people to teach in the morning and 3 in the evening. And it came true! We found two lovely mothers in the morning with great deseos to learn and to be better and in the night we found an old lady... yeah... but the best was the two young brothers we found! Thanks to the guidance of the spirit we were able to teach them and they understood everything so well! They were such a blessing to meet them and we had many times where we laughed so hard in the lesson!  What a great day before and after the prayer. I love you, good night!
