I'M BEING TRANSFERED!!!!!

Wow. What a heck of a week. Or couple of weeks I should say. First of all, please tell Kristin- OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY GGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so wickedly happy for her!!! That's wonderfully amazing! I'm going to be smiling all day now. Oh my gosh- I realized Monday night after writing my email- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!! I could really kick myself for not writing it Monday . What better way to celebrate another year of love and family than with tough gifted moose meat. I only say that with much love and a chuckle in my tender heart. This I have realized this week. I've made it to the point in my mission where I forget which language is my own. I purposely think in English to make sure I don't forget anything, but then I begin talking in English, something that I don't think my Peruvian companion ...

This week has been tranquilo!

I gotta make this quick. I'm sorry this one is going to be short. This week has been the week of service. We've been helping one of the elder's investigators.

They rented a party palace place that's like a small Boosters, with decorations galore. All this fancy shmancy stuff for a one year old. But that's how they do it down here. My companion and I were in charge of the decorations. We spent all week helping her prepare for the big day. The only real bummer is that they didn't come to church yesterday. All that service only to not show up! They'll be receiving a ph...

I've gotta work!

Lately I've been thinking a lot about my area. Our transfer ends in about two weeks, and I'm really hoping that the Lord doesn't see fit to take me out of Caleta . I really don't want to leave! If I leave, I think I would die. I want to stay in an area for a decent amount of time. If I'm here the next transfer that means that I'm here for two because my companion goes home at the end of the next transfer. I've been thinking about all of the people here, and the responsibility I have to help all of them learn about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. That there are so many being prepared to listen - I've gotta work! I've also got to help everyone. Not be a burden but a help and a service. This week has been long, and my Pday super short. Right now it's about 5 o'clock, the end of my Pday . We've been helping out an investigator of the elders with the birthday party decorations of their daughter. I'll try to send photos, they're ...
