week 7/104


What a week,

This week has been quite the experience!  My companion and I talk to lots of people everyday and most of them want us to come back and share more with them.  We have lots of people to teach and most of them are very interested. There is this one boy, Anthony who we are baptizing this Saturday! 

This week I feel like my Spanish has improved quite quickly.  I can understand most of what people are saying and respond. I know there is still much to learn and with the help of our Father in heaven all things are possible.

There are 3 types of motorcycles here in Pucallpa: 1. regular motorcycle 2. work truck motorcycle 3.taxi motorcycle (mototkar).

This week there was more rain but nothing like last week.  I got sick because of the rain.

One funny thing that happened was when we went to pick up dinner from our pinchanestas house (she knew I was sick) after a day of rain and saw that I was wet and sick.  She told my companion that he had no heart: usted no tiene corazon. I thought it was pretty funny.

Right now its carnival in Pucallpa and people everywhere are putting up trees with stuff like chairs and other things that people would want in the tree. After they put it up the play super loud music and throw mud water and paint on each other while drinking a ton of beer.  The trees are called umisha.
I'm loving my time here Pucallpa.

este es otro dia en el paraiso.

Take care everyone and I miss you lots.

Semana #83 - WHACK

Today is changes and Elder Meeks and I are staying 1 more change together.  On Tuesday the area doctor came to Pucallpa to give us a training on how to stay healthy in the mission and in the real world.  It was a great training. The funny thing was I got really sick right before the whole thing. Also this week we had to help a lot of other missionaries so that took out time from out teaching hours.  A couple companionship's had to move houses this week so we helped them move.  It was fun.  Now this week there are a couple areas that need to move and haven't found a house so Elder Meeks and I have to help them look because its been 2 weeks and they haven't found anything.  It will be fun to  go house hunting this coming week. The biggest thing that I'm excited for this week is GENERAL CONFERENCE.   It's always a huge blessing to be able to listen to the prophets' voice and from the 12 apostles.  I know they are called of God...

Semana #84 - GIVE

So this week was general conference it was absolutely amazing!!   I loved listening to the apostles and the prophet. This week we also had to spend a whole day in Campo Verde to look for a house for the elders there.   It was a long day but we finally found a house and it looks really nice.  Campo Verde is the area in my zone that is very far away, it's 30 min in car, (that's really far for us). We also had to receive a bunch of missionaries that came to our zone.  The funny thing was that the airline that was always used - closed down the day before the whole mission took flights for their changes.  That was something big that happened and the personal secretary had to figure out.  Well as always love you all and I really hope that you can take the time to listen to some inspired talks from general conference. I know that they can help you change your life to be closer to God and in the end be happier. una semana mas...

Semana #85 - A

So this week was full of things to do. Really the only normal days I had this week were Monday and Tuesday.  On Wednesday I flew to Iquitos for our leadership conference. We had our announcement meeting and in the middle of it it started to rain really hard so we went inside of the mission home.  It's a very nice house, and we continued until the power went out.  Then we went home early because there was no power to continue the meeting.  On Thursday we had our counsel as leaders.   We talked about the powers of the Book of Mormon and how it can literally help us solve our problems that we have in our lives.  We talked about the  DEVASTATING sin of pride, we read the talk by Ezra Taft Benson, "Beware of Pride".  I encourage all of you to read it. Then on Friday we went back to Pucallpa and as we got home we had to take a 30 min car ride to Campo Verde to do a baptismal interview for them (the elders).  It was...
