Almost Christmas

 It's almost Christmas. These next weeks are going to be the hardest. Not beacuse I'm far from home but because it's the season when everyone drinks. Last year we got nothing done. I'm scared to have that happen again. The drinking problem here is terrible. In Chimbote they don't have money to buy beer. But here yes. 

  We found a couple that are married. That's a first. So we are going to work a lot with them. I'm really sad. I got another virus and lost all the videos I had. These internets are the worst. 

  I'm upset now. We'll see you on Christmas those of you that are family. Goodbye.

Beach Day!

 Well. We got permission to go to the beach for the first time in my mission. My areas have always been so close to the ocean, but we could never go. We played American Football, ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and watermelon. It was a great day, but very hot. We are about to enter summer and I am going to die again. 

  I love my new area. About three months ago, the Zone leaders asked me to participate in a talent show. I played the part of an angel. It was funny, I have the video to show you all. But now, I'm in that ward. After three months, they still remember and call me the angel. The ward is awesome and I'm having so much fun with my companion and we are working like never before. 

  There is a big hill in our area called pesceda. It's full of people, but it's a hike. We decided to get to know it a little better. We climbed up to the very last house and said, "We didn't just waste all that time for nothing." and we knocked on the door. This dentist answered and we talked about the church and the family and he was really cool. On Sunday we stopped by after another long hike and shared a little biit of God and how he blesses families that live the gospel. He said at the end he wanted to get his family to come and listen too. But they were deep in the hill. So we took out an appointment. It was a great experience! Happy to be here and happy to be taking control of my English again. I'm a little rusty.

Changes

 Well, my companion finished the mission. My trainer also, I put a picture with him. We hada very good week. But it's all over. I'm with my zone leader because his companion also finished. 

  On Tuesday, I was told they were going to close my area. And they did. So I knew I had to leave. On Sunday night they call to tell us the changes and where we are going. But the called very late. At 10:30pm they told us everything except me. So my zone leader asked and they hung up on us. I was very stressed out that night. I didn't have changes. But the mission President called and said I have a special assignment to go back to my old zone. So I'm crosing the border again. Staying here in Trujillo, but my companion is White! I know him, he is from South Carolina. I'm very excited!. Going to be a great change, but I'm going to stay here in Trujillo. 

Love you all, thanks for writing. Hope you have a great week and that you're getting ready for Christmas.
