Hot Showers and Great Success

Well to answer your questions. Our room is really nice, its well tiled and it was just built so the walls are clean and it just looks really nice. The bathroom is pretty good, not like my first one here, but we have hot water, so in the morning I just stand there under the water for ever because it has been 6 months showering cold water out in the jungle. My mattress is not very good, all the mattresses here are made out of hay, that’s how all the mattresses are here. No we don’t have a fridge because only in the jungle do we get a fridge.

The ward here is good. The members are pretty fun and this ward is a little more organized than most. Yesterday we gave talks, my companion talked for 3 minutes and I talked for about 12 minutes. It was pretty good. Man I can’t believe I can actually give a talk longer than 5 minutes now and in another language. Our mission ward leader is way good, he is a returned missionary and he helps us a lot.

Well nothing really exciting happened this week, I got used to the city so I feel comfortable here. It’s weird because when I first got to Peru last year I was so scared and I thought everyone wanted to kill me but now I feel at home. It feels very normal now. I know when I get back to the states I will have to adjust big time.

Our investigators are doing well. We will have three baptisms this weekend which will be awesome. On the 22nd we will baptize a man that was baptized at age 8 and now is 30 but he lost his baptismal record so we have to baptize him again. It counts for the mission and it counts as a family of gold because his whole family are members so this is a blessing, I really got blessed to enter into this area and start having investigators. I really wanted to start my comp off good and get him in water and its going to happen.
