 These last few weeks were really great, but honestly nothing unusual really happened other than normal work. But the work is going really well.

I was able to baptize our friend Amancio and he's the best. He lives about 20 minutes away taking a taxi in the middle of the jungle, so it's always fun going to his house. We always see some sort of animal while we're out there. We've seen monkeys, some sort of rodent thing, and a lot of snakes. We saw a huge boa constrictor in the middle of the road, and it was super cool, but aggressive. I'll try to send the video of it. He was probably the most ready person I've ever taught to be baptized. He always reads the scriptures and prays and comes to church. He didn't have any problems with commandments or doubts, and he wants to be a missionary. We would have had to try not to baptize him haha. Now all of his siblings want to get baptized too, so I'm really happy for them. 

We also found a girl that was taught in the past and I don't know how they didn't baptize her because she's awesome. We asked her what she remembered about what the missionaries taught and she said that she loves the book of Mormon and our church, and she was going to be baptized, but her mom told her not to because she was going to sin again after baptism probably, and after baptism you shouldn't sin. We told her that that's why we can repent and that everyone sins after baptism and she immediately accepted that and accepted a baptismal date. I was expecting at least a little bit of resistance or even a little bit of time to think, but she just immediately changed her mind.

I don't know what else to write because nothing really happened, but I hope you have a great week and feel free to write me!!

Week 4

Image
Sorry guys, these past few weeks have been packed and if I'm being honest, sending an email has been the last thing on my list haha. The mtc is pretty fun, the food is good most of the time and I have a super fun district. The classes were super boring until we started Spanish immersion, it's super hard but honestly kind of fun, and it's nice to see the progress I'm making. Our first week at the mtc we got to hear from Elder Bednar and his wife and that was super cool, they had great talks and I got to shake his hand. We get to go to the temple every pday and it's been super fun but it takes up most of our free time and we found out most people get to go on just a normal day. I wish that was the case for us so I could get out of class😂 I'm really glad I'm serving a mission and I know this is where I'm supposed to be right now. Thanks for your support back home, I miss you guys and love you lots. Also I forgot to take pictures until this mor...

Week 2 in Peru

 Hey guys sorry for missing my email last week, I didn't do it in the morning when I had time, then before I knew it, it was too late. The travel to get to Peru was awful haha. We left the mtc at like 7am ish and we got to Peru at 9:30am the next day. I dont know about you, but 26 hours of travel without any entertainment when everyone is speaking Spanish for the second half is not pleasant, but we got here.       The first few days were pretty fun. All the new missionaries stayed in Cusco for a few days with the APs, office elders, and the mission president while they figured out the transfers and stuff. We basically were given cards with a picture of Jesus and directions to the church building and were told to street contact. I felt like an annoying sales person but at least I know my product is good haha.      I went to a lesson with one of the APs and he doesn't speak any English but it ended up going good. I just shared a scripture, e...

      This will be a pretty short email because my last pday was like 4 days ago haha. I just have 2 stories.        We were out knocking doors, and we knocked the last door on the street, and we heard a bunch of kids in the house screaming their heads off, then one of them hangs out of the window and we were like, hey how's it going, are your parents' home? And he says no but my older brother is. Then he disappeared and we heard a bunch of screaming and arguing and junk, then like 5 minutes later, (it felt like 30) he came back to the window and said he's coming. Another 5 minutes go by and the kid was just staring at us, then finally the door opened and the older brother came out and we invited him to church and stuff, then he just says, why are you here, we were like, we're just inviting everyone to church, and he's like, ok but like why are you here, in Puno? So we explained that we're missionaries, and he just kept asking questions, "w...
