June 4, 2012

Hey sorry about the lack of description, my apartment is pretty small but its clean and tidy and I like it. The food is great but when you are sick it is horrid. Potatoes and rice or chicken and rice, all of the ladies cook so well, but my pentionista is the best.My companion and I bought KFC for the family last week which was a great taste of home. We baptized Velissa Marivell Cantera Garcia this past Saturday. She is a single mother of 28 years and is awesome. She has a son named Franco who is 5 and the funniest little boy in the world. We have been teaching Velissa since I got here and she progressed very fast. She wasn't sure if she wanted to get baptized so soon, but with much prayer and fasting she received a testimony and got baptized earlier than her desired date. She lives with members so she will be strong in the Church I know. The ward members are great but a lot of the time they don't show up to things. It's hard to work with the ward when the ward doesn't work with you. My companion and I are struggling in the new investigator area. In the winter here no one wants to do anything, all they do is go to work and come home. No one wants to listen, but I am just going to trust in the Lord. The city has a few bigger streets, but my area is houses on hills. If Lima is Salt Lake. San Juan Lourigancho is West Jordan. If that helps. My companion and I made ties!!!! The fabric I bought for Bree... we kind of used it to make ties Hermana Charo our pentionsita helped us make them. So the next time I'm in the centro de Lima I will buy another for her hahaha. Peru played Columbia last night in soccer and from the lack of cheers in the street I'm guessing we lost.

I haven't received an  email from Brandon. I know he has written a ton, but none of them go through. Have him forward all of them to dad and dad send them to me because I really want to hear from him. How is Cameron .. does anyone know?? Let me know. Dad where is Elder Brasher? Is he going to the Peru MTC before going to Bolivia? Let me know his status. 
 love you all.
