I know everyone says their mission is the best, and aside from the cute mission pride and i went to the best mission in the world, my mission really is the coolest. I dont cook, or do laundry, and on pday im just a tourist. We dont spend time playing soccer or bball on pday cuz we are in the most legit part of the world. serioulsy if you could visit anywhere you in south america as a tourist, it would me my mission. blessed.

It was a great week, very busy, I got the whole entire zone hooked on playing ninja, some people like it so much they do it for there excercise in the morning, lol.

Me and my companion are rocking and rolling, i hope we dont get split up, we have really figured eachother out. We are teaching by the spirit, going hard in the day, but we still laugh harder than anyother companionship. we rule and im way happy about it.

So i was rarely in Ilave this week, I started this week on splits with my zone leader, that was good times, then the yunguyo elders came in that night and we stayed up late and reminisced about good tunes. Elder Flores seemed to know all the songs i was talking about, weird cuz he was on a mission when they came out. genius. I always here sorry by jb and worth it by 5th harmony. worth it is like a mission joke cuz everyone hears it all the time.

So we had a sweet zone confrence, president herrera is raising the bar like crazy, im way excited about it. all our expectations and numbers are way higher. Its all good, and its more motivation. It will really help out city out.

We talked with the mom of the special ed kid bryan, she is way faithful, and she was telling us about how she doesnt do churches cuz she belives God loves all his children equally. I was like, NO WAY, i believe that too, and I am soooo mormon, so you gotta do this church.  Excited to see where it goes.

Also we are working with a 12 year old named anthony, his is marking his scriptures. nothing puts a bigger smile on my face when people follow through with commitments. He was reading about nephi and laman and lemuel, and he had writen in his scrips"be nice to your brothers and sisters". so cool.

So we had interviews and multi zone confrence this week too. Heard from president and his wife and the assistants. good times. way fun to see other elder and sisters. so a while back my companion had a stupid gringo companion that stoll 300 soles from him. well in my companions interview president looks at him and says,"your old companion, in his interview before he went home, wanted to repent, and gave me the 300 soles back". i have never seen my companion so happy, he was saying"repentance is real" in english, all night, and he was saying "Elder.... is my best friend" where as before he was always bagging on this comp.

So we had district confrence(steak confrence) and the assistants and president came. I really got to know president finally, and the assistants. THis confrence was a miracle. a big fat miracle. SO out pensionista, who is the best, old sassy lady, she is basically my mom i can tell her anything. She hasnt gone to church for 6 years, cuz she hates president in ilave. So we told her to come to the confrence. and she came!!! guys that is actually insane. after 6 yeras we were the first elders to get her to come to church. it was the coolest thing. when we went to get her, she acted like she wasnt gonna go, but she had her earings on and her purse ready. hahaha she put on a show, but she knew she was coming. it was so cool. i have never been so happy. .

Later that day we got a suprise visit from the assistants and presidents wife in our room. luckily it was spotless. then hermana herrera saw all my dew cans. and she says "my husband loves this drink, where did you find it". i always knew president was a cool guy. ghaha

Good times, loving this whole mission thing. peace out.
