Well a lot happened this week. First of all we did the changes on
Wednesday and I said good bye to Elder Lima. I got my new companion Elder Luna. We went to our room to unpack his things and he was looking at the member list and
he said, wait hold on, this is my sister. Yes, his sister lives in our area.
He is from the south part of Lima and she moved here during his mission. We called the zone leaders and he had to have a emergency transfer. The transfer didn’t happen until Friday so Wednesday and Thursday we couldn’t do too much cause they live and work way close to our house.

Friday we went to the offices at 11 in the morning to switch companions, so now my new companion is Elder Roldan. He is amazing!! Elder Roldan is from Guatemala so he talks 
a little bit different and that is good cause I like to hear different accents. His story is a sad one. He is the only member in his family and was baptized one year before his mission and has a year in the mission so he is a really new convert. His family doesn’t write him and the only person that does is his brother in law and he hasn’t received a letter from him in 4 months. All of his family are evangelic and his parents are the pastors of their church. He is way funny and we get a long way good. He knows the Bible like the back of his hand. He also knows the Book of Mormon really well. He is a way hard worker but we have a lot of fun, while we are working. I’m way happy for this change. It is way fun contacting people with Elder Roldan because they start bashing us and all he does is quote scripture and asks one question and they go uuuuhhhh. They don’t know what to say. It’s way funny!! We were talking with this guy in the park and he said I don’t believe in God and started laughing and we asked him, where did you come from? He said my parents. We then asked him, where do your parents come from? He said from their parents. Elder Roldan asked where did it all start and the guy was like uuuuhhhhhh. I still don’t believe in God!! It was funny, some people sometimes.

We will have 3 sure baptisms in the next three weeks. First is a Lady, she is 22 and she is progressing and everything and she lives with members that give her support so its way good. The other is Ivan, he is like 35 and is awesome. One day he just showed up at sacrament and he said, “I love your church!!! I have been to so many and yours is the best one, I feel so calm and peaceful here”. Yesterday we had a lesson with him and he was asking questions about the
Book of Mormon. He is reading it and everything. He was like so Moroni is the
son of Mormon and Lehi is the father of Nephi right? We were like yes exactly, he
knows a lot. Then we have Daniel who is 12 and he has been to church 8 times but at another ward but lives in our boundaries so we didn’t know who he was so we are going to start to teach him and he was like when can I get baptized? Then we have Rosa, she doesn’t have a date yet because she has to work things out with her divorce but she has a son on a mission and she attends every week and goes to classes and has been doing that since I got here but she will get baptized this change if she works everything out, she has no doubt or anything. We have found a lot more people the weekend so we are going to get some more
baptisms.

Ya down here there is no such thing as Thanksgiving, most people don’t even know what it is but I thought it was last Thursday so we had a party in our room with me and Elder Cheesman, we drank Inca cola and ate crackers, it was a bumpin party haha. We took some pictures.
The other day we had a dog fight out in front of our house while we were getting ready to leave for breakfast so we got to watch the whole thing, the dogs down here fight like lions its crazy, I have never seen anything like it before, but ya there were two dogs and one ripped the other one up, and was way sad and I watched the whole thing, people ran over and pushed the bigger one off the little one and the little one couldnt even walk away it
was sad.
was sad.
I decided to buy myself a Christmas present this year and that is a guitar, I bought it this past weekend, and it is way sweet, it is all black with a cool design around the hole and it sounds amazing, and it was 50 dollars American, yes you can by stuff down here that cheap, it is probably a 300 to 400 hundred dollar acoustical there and it came with a case so i can put it on my back when I get transferred. Elder Taylor had one so we always played it at night or on p-day and I got pretty good so he left and took it so I bought one to have my whole mission,
Elder Roldan can play the flute too and he has one so he plays some sweet songs and he can also play some hymns, its way cool.
