October 9, 2017 - San Luis

So this week has been pretty good, lots of walking and lessons, I'm starting to talk a lot more during lessons which is great! my companion is still doing great but can't talk to him that much cause i don't really know Spanish and he knows little English. on Thursday Peru played Argentina for the world cup qualifiers and that was crazy, we couldn't get into anyone's houses cause everyone in Peru watches the game!! you could hear it from in the streets cause it was so loud. on Saturday we had a lesson with this guy named Rodrigo who is about 25 and I asked him to be baptized and he said yes!!! so I will have my first baptism on the 28th of October which is so exciting to me!! Well I love all you guys!

Peru Culture
_there are no stop signs where I am, there are just speed bumps everywhere which I thought was super smart

some pics, not very many cause there really isn't that much to take pics of, it's just a lot of dirt and shacks, also i forget I have my camera

Some more information from emailing with my family: I'm pushing through, the main problem is I can't really talk to anyone because I don't know Spanish, I feel kinda alone. but i know that I'm not.  its a members home, another member does our laundry every week also.  yeah Elder Gunn (was in CCM with me) has the same pensionista as us so i get to talk to him every meal.  yeah its going good i guess, its super ez to tune out Spanish because i don't get a lot of it so when people ask me questions its hard cause i don't hear them half the time, and they speak really fast.  yeah kids are always playing soccer, i want to play with them so bad!  just look up San Luis in Nuevo Chimbote, I don't really know our address or even they have real addresses down here.  We live in an area called Vista Alegre.  We are about a 10 minute walk from the church.  Our home has 2 levels, the members live above us.
