Hey guys, sorry I didn't write this whole transfer. A lot has happened, but writing an email is always the last thing on my mind. I don't know if I wrote this in my last email, but I stayed in Puno for another transfer. It was really good. We baptized 3 more people. One of them was Yaneth. She was on date last transfer until she disappeared off of the face of the planet. Literally we knocked on her door and called so many times until we just gave up. Then one day this transfer she finally texted us and apologized for not responding, then she got baptized. The other two was a single mom and her son that we contacted in public.

Sorry, I ran out of time to write this. I got distracted then forgot about it haha. But I'm going to a place called Quilla Bamba. It's a jungle area, but it's not as hot as the other jungle place I was in. It'll be really cool. I'll write a better email next week.

 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...

     These 2 weeks were both awful and pretty cool. They were awful because I got super sick last week and sick days on the mission are not fun. At home you can sleep and watch tv and do whatever, but on the mission, you're just trapped in the house calling people all day long... not fun. But it was pretty cool because we baptized 2 people.      The first person we baptized is named William and he's 10 years old and he was kind of frustrating to teach because he had infinite energy and likes to punch and kick and head butt us. He didn't really think he needed to learn because his older brother is a member, so he already wanted to be baptized. There was one lesson where we taught him who Joseph Smith was probably 20 times because we asked him who he was 20 times and he didn't know haha. We felt super bad though because the water heater didn't work for the baptismal font, so the water was freezing and he was shivering really bad. But he's baptized...

      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...
