Imaynaya Qashquanqui-Dec 9th

 What up dudes? So I have been guiding my new companion around for the past week. His name is Elder Silva and he is from a city about 3 hours away called Trujillo. He is actually some what tall and he has about 6 months left in the mission and so far he has been a good companion. After tuesdays changes, I now have a lot of people from North America in my Zone. of the 24ish people in my zone 9 of them are fluent in english and from North America, and all but 1 of them have less than 7 months in the mission. So there is a lot of english speaking. It was kind of fun the last week when I was killing elder Fernandez because the members took us out to eat a couple of times, and we got some ice cream 1 day, oh it was great!

Also in the past week, 1 of the girls that I live with was having a baby. It really sucked because she woke up at about 3:30 in the morning screaming. Then like every 20 minutes she would have a contraction or what ever is going on that makes the girls scream. It wasnt until 8:00 when they actually went to the Hospital. it was terrible because I didnt get any sleep, also because I was thinking that I was going to be checking "deliver a baby" off the mission checklist...ok lezbihonest I was more worried about not having breakfast.

Yesterday I was able to watch the christmas devotional. I didnt really understand much of it but the music was amazing. Seeing elder nelson yesterday reminded me. Did you guys know that he has some funky eyes? I noticed that when I shoke his hand a couple weeks ago. Also yesterday we had a big meeting with a lot of missionary and ward counsels in the area, where Elder Calderon of the 70 talked and told us how to make this work of salvation better. It was the 2 time we heard from Elder Calderon so we must not be doing a good enough job.

As far as the work here, me and my companion are starting a new little branch group in the little town of Mesones muro, which is in our area. But other than that, it is pretty much the same, teach a lesson, knock on doors and eat rice, and sweating the whole time. Hope you all had a good week, and Happy Birthday to my favorite nephew Jaxon today.

One of the first p-days we hiked a mountain in a town that is also in my area. This was taken not very far from the bottom.
