Well, the changes are here and ya there is a change, I’m leaving the area here, I’m going back to Lima, I kind of knew that I was going to Lima. I’m going to the zone Comas, the good news I getting a kid, yes I’m going to be training! I’m pretty happy about that, I get a kid, I have no idea who it will be or where he is from but this means that I’m entering a area new with him so I’m going to be lost ha-ha, I am way excited to get to the city and start working with him. I’m really going to miss this city, I love it here.
Saturday we baptized Franco, he is 15 and he is awesome, he is so funny, we had some problems with his family and his parents, but everything ended up being good, we ended this change with 5 baptisms which is pretty good, I’m hoping to get in to my new area and baptize more.

This week was a good week, to start off we had three baptisms on Saturday, it was a good experience, as a zone we had a massive baptism so we all did it in the same church and 25 were the baptized. Jaivee and Kasandra and Victor got baptized but Joel didn’t. He had some family problems and couldn’t do it. This week end we are going to baptize Franco who is 15 he wants to serve a mission so bad same with Jaivee there is a young man in my ward named Diego he is being a good friend and is getting them both to get excited to serve missions.
I’m way excited for next week because we will know where I’m going and who with and as what and all, I really think I’m going to Lima.

Baptism and some Great Investigators
Saturday we had Nicole’s baptism and I baptized her, it went well, right now we have 4 people getting baptized the 18th and at least one more person the 25th but we could possibly have 3 more for the 25tht, so it would be 4 for the 18tht and 4 for the 25th. The 18th it’s a 10 year old boy named Victor, a 12 year old girl Kassandra, a 14 year old boy Joel, a 17 year old boy Jayvee. The 25th we have a 45 year old woman named Faustina, we knocked on her door and she let us in and she was sick and she asked us if we can do anything to help so we explained what a blessing is and we gave her one and we taught her and she said that she wants to get baptized on the 18th. We said no you have to wait for the 25th because you have to go to church two times(its a rule here) but she said that she knows it’s true, she could feel it when we were blessing her and she got better the next day, she is a nice lady.
Last night we had a sweet thunder and lightning show, it was awesome, nothing else has really happened this week, we are just really working, things are going good here.

Two Week Post
Here is the post for the last couple of weeks.
July 6th
Well, this was a good week! Right now we have 4 people getting baptized. One for the 11th and the other three for the 18th, and we will have two more for the 18 but we have to work out their dates. We had 8 investigators in the church so it was a good day. The work is going good right now. The two people that don’t have dates yet but still came to church was Jayvee, we were teaching him back with Elder Zuniga, and the niece of our pensionista, she came to church and loved it.
Today we are going to the zoo again to take pictures with the snake. Saturday my District Leader came and visited with my companion. I was able to go to another area with a gringo to celebrate the 4th of July. We ordered pizza and soda, made signs and took pictures. We made the best of it, it was way fun. My companion is from Arequipa Peru. He is a gymnast. He used to do the bars and those two rings in the air. He is ripped!
June 29th
I’m way excited to be here with my companion, he is way cool, we work way hard. This week we found 25 new people to teach and we have 4 people getting baptized, a little girl named Nicole, a boy named Victor and a young women named Cassandra and young man named Joel. Nicole is scheduled for the 11th and the other three are for the 18th so it should be good. They came to church on Sunday. Their parents were inactive but now they are coming to church again and the kids want to get baptized. We are really working hard to find a complete family.
I did hear about Michael Jackson, everyone here was talking about it and playing his music in the streets to honor him, here they really follow the states and what’s happening up there. The big news from the States I still hear down here.
Today we went to the jungle to a little village it was pretty cool, everyone was looking at us weird, all the gringos, we went to where there never had been missionaries, and it was pretty cool.
My companion and I are working way hard to get a lot of success. We had our interviews and President asked me what did I do before the mission, and we talked about my goals for the second half of my mission. I told him I want to have a good second half and that I am going to apply a lot of things to be a better missionary, and some stuff like that, and he looked at me and said Elder Ridge, this last year you will progress really fast, prepare yourself and strengthen yourself it was way good. It made me feel good.
We have a goal this change to have 5 baptisms and one family, so I’m way excited to work this change and get things going and have some success. I can’t believe I have been out a year, I only have one year left so I got to make the most of it, I’m going to work hard but smart and I’m going to enjoy it.
