Golden Investigators and much more!!

Well, this past week was awesome, we had the baptism of Willer, that kid is so awesome, he is already signed up for seminary classes and received the priesthood yesterday, he’s 17 and he wants to serve a mission, he is such a cool kid. Our other investigators are sweet, this Saturday we will have the baptism of Sebastian, I’m excited for that too.

Another awesome thing that happened this week is that we found a family of gold, we were walking and talking with people knocking a few doors and I saw a sweet dirt bike and we were like lets go knock that house, and a guy came to the door and was like come in, so we came in and we taught him, Ulises and his wife July, they have two little kids a boy that’s 6 and a girl that 4, we taught them and he liked it so then we went back another day and taught them the plan of salvation with him and his wife for 2 hours, we talked all about how families can be together forever and they were asking so many good questions it was awesome, we went to their house on Sunday to take them to church and he was all ready in a shirt and tie and she was all dressed up, they are both lawyers so they have a lot of money, we went to church in their car, it was so awesome, they are set to get baptized the 28 of March, we are really praying for them to get baptized, I want them to get baptized so in a year towards the end of my mission I can go see them get sealed, that would be so awesome, he says that he knows the church is true, there are such a cool family.

Yes, we eat a lot of bananas or papaya. For breakfast we usually eat like a sandwich thing it’s bread with either meat in the middle or avocado or butter and some type of drink like juice. For lunch it is always chicken and rice sometimes it’s different like soup or beef and rice but it’s always rice, I have eaten rice every day since I got to Peru, it gets old, and dinner is the same thing, rice chicken sometimes soup, always fruit like papaya. The food here is good and I haven’t gotten anything weird, I have only gotten fish like once, I’m lucking out with that because I haven’t gotten any fish since I have been here.

To the Amazon I’m like a 5 minute ride in a motto taxi, those things are fun, zipping around the city in one of those. my ward is pretty big and the attendance is alright, there are a lot of less active but we visits them and there are some that are starting to come. The Bishop is way good and is funny too. Our apartment is little, we have a separate room where we sleep then we have a bigger room where the kitchen is and where we study, in our kitchen its only a sink and a little refrigerator to put water in, and then we have our bathroom, it’s as nice bathroom but it’s cold water, and there isn’t a toilet seat so you’re sitting on the porcelain which is normal down here.
