Because my zone leader only thinks with his stomach we had another BBQ instead of going and doing something fun again. So the gringos and I played soccer on the court while the rest cooked the food. We then were assigned to fill up the water balloons for the water balloon fight. We filled up them all and it was a great time. We had not very many balloons so we did one on ones in the middle of the court like a western draw. Brown and I both threw and we both smacked each other in the chest. So after that we all took a big nap and chilled the rest of the day.
Because we as a zone have been low in our baptisms we decided to do a zone inventory so after the district meeting we all sat down and talked it all out. Which was good and I think it helped a bit, but we still don’t have sufficient baptismal dates. On Tuesday after the meeting we did a zone wide work visit. All of the junior companions left with a senior companion from a different district. Which was very cool. I left with Elder Robles from Mexico in Elder Brown's area? We walked a lot through all of the farms and taught a couple families which was cool to see how the other areas are doing. In the night we called tacos (which are very hard to find in Peru) and we ate the giant greasy guys all night long. Then we woke and went to do service in a member's chakra (area of land to cultivate) and we ripped out roots and about 5 trees. My legs got eaten alive by biting flies, but it’s no big deal at all it just itches a ton ha-ha. Then we came back at started working again in our areas.
My companion and I have no money to take mottos to our appointments so we have been doing nothing but walking all this week. It stinks no one in our area has money we all have to take 45 minute bus rides for district meeting and P-days so we are super poor its hilarious. We have tons of families that can get baptized in December. We have a family of 7 that we are trying to get in the water. And Nils came to church which was a mini miracle because he has classes every day at 9 so that was something really sweet. We also have two single moms with kids that have dates, but they just need to come to church. So this month was real tough. No baptisms this whole change, but December we are going to baptize like crazy. Keep praying the people of Moyobamba need the prayers.
Brandon is looking real good just make sure he gets all his homies addresses. Atlanta is never going to be the same.
