This week was pretty good as shown in the pics. This week we had zone P-day. We played a ton of volleyball and soccer and I was exhausted by the end of the day. We also all pitched in and bought a food called Chaufa. It´s pretty much fried rice with a Peruvian twist, it´s so good!
We also had changes this week. I will be staying in my area with Elder Tuesta for another change. I´m pretty happy about it because we have quite a few investigators that are progressing and I want to see how it all turns out.
This past week we also had Halloween. Well, it was pretty disappointing haha. I actually forgot it was Halloween on the day of Halloween. No one does it like America.
We also had a really fun ward activity this week. It was a Karaoke/Movie night which was really fun. We actually had a lot of members show up which was great considering the last activity only about 4 members came. We were only allowed to stay because we had several investigators attend. But Elder Tuesta and I spent most of the time helping cook and prepare the activity. It was still super fun and a great way to gain the trust of the members. We have two more activities planned for the coming two weeks. They should work out, we´ll see!
As a zone, we had another activity for contacting people. But because my comp and I don´t have a cellphone for the moment, it was pretty rough for us. We had originally planned the activity to be in San Carlos, and so my comp and I went to San Carlos to the park to wait for everybody. But because of the phone situation, we didn´t know there had been a change in location. We had brought about 50 pounds of Liahonas and pamphlets ready to pass out , and we had to walk about half an hour to the new location in the rain with my broken umbrella haha. I was pretty discouraged upon arriving to the new location, which was a cemetery. It was pretty much impossible to contact in the cemetary, so we ended up just passing out pamphlets and Liahonas. Although the people weren´t as open to talk to us, many people were very excited and wanted to read what we had to give. We passed out everything which we had brought which is good.
As for the Iturizage, our most progressive family, they attended church with us this Sunday. They also told us they want to be mormons which is awesome! We are going to put a date for their baptism soon, I hope it´s for this transfer but we don´t want to rush the investigator. We also have been contacting a ton lately, almost have knocked on every door in our area. Overall, sorry for the short email this week, its hard to remember everything. Love and miss you all!
Just some pictures from around Huancayo
Some pics of our zone P-day. We found this really cool court and played for like 2 hours. Elder Gamonal in the Yellow jersey is one of the best soccer players I have played with and its always so fun to play soccer with him.
This is a picture of Mike who is my Pension's son and he is hilarious!
