Semana 67 - #CAMBIOS!!!! (Changes)/La Selva (Jungle)


So this last week there were changes, and I went back to the island in the jungle. Iquitos. 

It was sad to leave Tarapoto, but my new companion is the best, so I'm not too sad.  My new companion is called Elder Jauregui.  He's from Lima, Perú. 

This past week we got used to each other really quick and that helped us get to work really fast. This last week we were able to walk in and teach 14 different people!!  We are super excited to work together and see the miracles that will come this change. 

In my flight to Iquitos me and my friend elder Regalado asked the airport people to change our seats to first class.  We asked just to see if they would do it, and they did!! So this past week I had my first first class flight!!  The only difference is more leg room. Hahaha. 

Everything looks good here in the jungle and I'm excited to work with my new companion.  We are in an area called Secada 3.  Our pensionista is the best!  This time it's a man and he is super funny.  I don't really know what he does for work but from what I've heard is that he does a little bit of everything, makes metal doors, fixes motokars, fixes engines, and he cooks really well.  His wife make a drink called chicha morada and it's really good.  Je gives us that everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

Internet is really bad so photos might not be sent often.

una semana mas en paraíso, en la isla de la selva. (one more week in paradise, on the island of the jungle)

Elder Porowski

So lots of you might be wondering what the jungle is like and it's simple.  The jungle is like a giant oven: hot, humid, and something that cooks you.  But I love it!!! I know when I'm back in Canada for the first few weeks I'm going to miss the heat. Hahaha. Also the are a lot of mosquitoes.  The jungle is awesome

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...
