Jessica is the 16 year old girl that we were teaching in Moquegua that we couldn´t baptize because her father wouldn´t let her. For mothers day she and her little brother did a really cool dance and I asked for a copy of the movie they took. She speaks english pretty fluently so you can talk with her all you want.
Does Dad know a Brian Arnold who works for Swing Golf? Apparently he was a companion to my new president, If so that would be kinda cool!
This week was crazy. We had interviews with the new president and a multizone meeting. President Fernandez is awesome, I can´t wait to seee how the mission is going to change, he has a great vision to change how the mission Peru Arequipa is viewed. He also made pdays longer! Which is why you are receiving this so late today. We went to some cool waterfalls as a disctrict and I´ll send you pictures next week. Oh next week is transfers so I´ll be getting a new comp. because Elder Chaca is going home. Crazy how fast this transfer has gone by. Like seriously.
We had some kinda funny experiences this week. We were outside of the church talking to a member on saturday and this decked out sports car, blasting rap music passed by. But lo and behold there was 50 year old man driving this thing all by himself. Oh man we laughed so hard.
We are planning 3 baptisms this week. I know right? 1 is Santiago who only needs to get his work changed so that he can have sundays off. He has been working his butt off too to be able to do it. The other are a couple single moms. Veronica and Mari. Veronica is fairly excited to be baptized, but she hasn´t been praying and we need to teach her the plan of salvation. Mari we have a tough time teaching because we have to do it with her neighbor, who is a member, but the three year old son is so wild and crazy. But Mari is also quite excited to get baptized, but we havn´t taught her very much. So she is a bit iffy.
We have been working really hard these last couple weeks so that E. Chaca can have some baptisms in his last week. Walking around a lot, but it has been a lot of fun.
Oh and we totally enjoyed the instant oatmeal! E. Chaca loved it and we are going to enjoy some more tomorrow.
Anyways yeah thats what has been going on. A lot of changes, and a lot of hard work. But really i´ve really been enjoying myself here in Selva Alegre
I love you
Elder Patrik Connole
