hey fam que pasó!!??
alright. ill send some pictures of my old latin roommates(they left yesterday, way sad). Also, were going on our much awaited, super awesome tour of the city today, and i will send those pictures next week. sorry for my first batch being so small, it was all i had time for to send off. they are crazy strict here about the 30 minutes and no less to read and write back!!
This week has been crazy. Friday we saw elder d. todd christopherson for our mission conference. which was awesome. He spoke perfect spanish, and gave some amazing insights. also, singing in the choir was fantastic too as well. we sang te necesito si, i need thee every hour, all verses in a beautiful arrangement with one of the older elders singing a solo intro which was beautiful. but elder christopherson asked us to sing it a second time as the closing hymn after he heard it the first time so that was awesome. But he had some amazing thoughts on repentance.
Then saturday was dang awesome. we went proselyting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They drove us up to some city way up on the hill, about an hour and a half from lima. The bus ride alone was crazy because we drove through many very poor areas with people literally everywhere, and we were in one of those giant tour buses, so our driver literally squeezes through these tiny little allies and street with cars and mototaxis (little motorcycle taxi carriage things) passing him with inches to spare on all sides, people everywhere, no one follows rules of the road, every man for himself, CHAOS. haha so crazy but so much fun.
but then we got to an lds chapel and they sent us off. Elder Delgado and i just took off! we talked to a few older ladies on their porch, one was evangelic and none of them wanted to hear our message. but they reluctantly let us give our schpeal and took pamphlets. then we went up the street and there was a guy who came out and just started ranting to us about his atheistic beliefs about god being an extra-terrestrial (by the way i don´t understand most of what they say. its just too dang fast, slurred together, not very clear. crazy.) But then we found a guy, taught him through his window because he wouldnt open the door, and gave him a book of mormon and he said hed listen if the missionaries came back on sundays, so we got a reference card and gave it to the local missionaries! so cool. also, we gave a book of mormon to another lady, and she said she might try to read it. Awesome!!!
it was a ton of fun, way crazy to be out walking the neighborhoods, mind blowing to talk to the people, and rewarding to give out books of mormon!!
ok. not sure if i have anything else to say. im sorry about no letters to any of you, as well. because they are really rude about time and kicking us off and everything, so three more weeks and hopefullly it will be better.
oh yeah i saw my mission president at the conference!! he looks really young, and elder durfey met him and said hes way cool. i didn´t get to meet him, but ill get the chance.!
and the food is amazingg. its all rice and chicken, and whatever sauces they use haha but its super delicious, and they have divine churros, wonderful soft serve ice cream that is seriously better than anything we have, and great soup and stinking awesome rolls!!
oh and i get to play piano a ton, hymns, which is beautiful. i play for like an hour while my district all studies quietly in the chapel in our classroom building. just playingg the h7ymns brings tthe spirit and it is so darn awesome.
Goodbye!!!!!!!!
paz out.
