Letter from February 27

This week has been another great week here in La Oroya.  We didn’t end up having the baptism of Juan this week, but he is still excited he just had a few problems in his work.  Elvis and Liz are also doing great!  They are also talking about being sealed a year from now. They have been prepared by the Lord and we are very grateful to have been able to find them and teach them.  I think we will have a big month in March!

This week I would like to start with a few funny stories.  First of all I think I am going to be in the world book of records.  ¨How many days in a row I stepped in a pile of dog crap.¨ I am not even kidding you, my companion was making fun of me at the end  because I stepped in dog crap 5 days in a row.  5 DAYS IN A ROW!  I have now learned my lesson that I have to constantly be looking at my feet while walking or a disaster is awaiting me.  Oh the mission life!  I seriously thought it was hilarious when the fifth day came around.  This week was also my companion’s birthday.  We celebrated with a little cake and I ended up pushing his face in the cake ha! Speaking of my companion he is a great guy.  He was studying in the University of Arizona. He also enjoys sports and being in the mission.  He has 19 months in the mission and I am learning a lot from him about always having a great attitude and being grateful for everything. We go running a couple times a week in the mornings.

This week has seemed to pass by way to fast, I swear every week is getting faster.  It was a great week though.  Tomorrow we have changes, I don’t want to leave this area yet, but I have the feeling that it is my time.  Who knows?  Love you all and we will talk to you soon.
