Peru Week 3

 Its been a fun week. Did comp exchanges on friday that was fun. Finally got to eat at a members house last night. The food made me a tiny bit sick. First time I've had a bad reaction to the food here.


I saw a chica moto driver...that's the craziest part of the week.

I've just been living off hard boiled eggs since they're only like $2.50 for 30 eggs.

There's tons of mosquitos in my house. They like to hide in the closets and if you move your clothes they come swarming out...I'm not joking about this at all.  We're getting hot water installed which will attract more of them. They never attack until you're asleep. Super annoying because you don't get a fighting chance.

Apparently there's a crazy disease from mosquitoes here called dengue fever. And the rainy season is around the corner so there's gonna even be more of them.
I talk about these mosquitos a lot because its like the only bad thing happening. 
 
For P day the zone went to Huacachina. Its an oasis and its the most touristy thing to do in Ica. There's a massive sand dune you can hike up and the views are incredible. Super dope. 

We had 4 friends come to church this Sunday!  Biggest win of the week.


Love you all!

Week 1 in MTC

Finished week one of the MTC and dang it was good, and I knew it would be. Imma start out by saying that everyone has been crapping on this food. But in reality, it’s quite enjoyable for now. Even though it may get the stomach begging for dear life, but that’s alright. If I don’t put on weight here, I’m a lost cause. The Grand Canyon BYU Creamery ice cream is fire, aka gram slam for those with ball knowledge. Spanish is coming fine. Starting full immersion tomorrow. Not being able to speak English in class is gonna be a real challenge but also a huge learning opportunity. By far the best thing of all is my district. I’m blessed to have the best district of all time. Where all so different, it’s like we’re the Avengers. Teachers are chillers. They’re patient and knowledgeable, unlike how it is in school. The MTC is constant laughing with my district; nobody can ever keep a straight face. My companion and district leader, Elder Felix, is cool. He kinda keeps us in line. I got Elder Lowth...

  Wow, I had such an amazing week. Friday was exchanges and I was once again with ZL Elder Huff.  It was my first time being in a different area and I got to spend some time in the Ica central. Carnival is going on right now. Its not a very big celebration in Ica, but it was cool to see, but sadly only for 2 seconds because Elder Huff did not enjoy the crowds. He's as locked in as a missionary can get which is good since I can learn from his ways. Our friend's baptism yesterday was a success. She has bone cancer, which is very tragic, and it made the baptism a whole lot harder. I didn't baptize her but I was still in the font to help out with the process. It was a very spiritual moment for everyone. I've never seem her so happy. Love you all!

The First letter from the Peru Mission President

 Dear Family of Elder Call,  We have met Elder Call and are so thankful for his preparation to serve in the Peru Lima South mission. He is excited about his mission and enthusiastic to begin serving the Lord in Peru. Our mission has a culture of love and conversion. It is our prayer that your missionary will experience a higher level of conversion as he prepares, teaches, and testifies. We make the missionary purpose to “Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, so they can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end” the focus of every interaction a missionary has with a new friend. Our desire is that your son will soon come to have this missionary purpose written in his own heart as he shares the gospel with others and invites each of them to “Come unto Christ.” With your missionary we were able to visit a centuries-old olive grove near the missi...
