3.1.10

This week we were in sullana monday and tuesday for meetings, wednesday we did service all day and didn't get to go out teaching, Thursday my comp went to mira mar and i stayed with elder montes, for 4 baptismal interviews, 3 passed but kenny failed she has to visit with pres. Friday came and we had a birthday party for a member and we made tacos and cleaned her house. Then afterwards for the first time for the whole week we went out prosalitiyng at 4 p.m. on friday, we went and visited a really cool guy named iban, he was really cool and gave us a huge 3 liter coke and a bunch of food, we taught him a little but some people came in during the lesson and gave him a turkey, then before we left he said something like if you guys need anything at all my door is open and if anyone bothers you, you come to me and i'll take care of it. So we left and didn't think much of it then on saturday morning the we saw some members and they asked us if we were teaching a guy named iban and we were like yeah, and they said their friends (the ones with the turkey) told them that we were teaching him. Well to make a long story short, turns out he’s like the mob boss for talara. Turns out he’s like a vigilante, like batman. But he has killed a lot of people so we won't get to baptize him but he’s pretty cool, hopefully we can get a pic with him this week.

As for baptisms we had 4 set for saturday, one fell through with kenny because she failed her interview, carol and haiti passed and gustavo bailed on us the day of the baptism at 7 in the morning, hopefully we can fix some things with him. But we went ahead and baptized carol and haiti but we sure missed not having gustavo there he’s like the coolest person we've met yet

well thats all for now

2.22.10

This week was so hot, every day had to be at least 105, this is the hottest time of the year in peru. We spent all day wednesday doing service, first we fixed the holes in someone’s roof in the morning and then in the after noon we went and painted a members house and her roof had problems. All the water would pool up and drain into her small house so we took off her roof and raised up one wall and put the roof back on. That was a fun day, especially because we didn't have to put on a tie. We are teaching some triplets right now (me and them have the same b day) and they introduced us to their aunt and cousin and they are way cooler then they are. They asked what church was like and if they could go on sunday which was amazing. Their names are Olga and Haiti so we are excited to teach them. Next week we should baptize Gustavo, who we've been teaching since christmas and we are way pumped to baptize him after all the teaching. He’s 22 and wants to serve a mission in a year too. Carol 15 who is cool too and then there’s Kenny, who is a single mother of a child from the "other side" hahaha, sometimes we have to leave because he’s to annoying, every time he sees us he says Mormons and makes the slitting your throat motion and this kids is only 4 years old haha. We got her off alcohol and tea, now we got the baptismal date and we went to talk to her yesterday and she got a nose ring. We flipped because it was ugly and she wants to get more too and a tattoo. I don't know what we're going to do with her, we have to give her a Come to Jesus talk this week and straighten her out if we want to baptize her. So we got our hands full for now, wells thats all for now folks
