The best week yet? Maybe, I don´t have a perfect 2 year memory. :-P Or do I?

This is weird, I just touched my head and realized that for the first time in my life I have hair gel in my hair. Weird! O_o   O_O   o_O It´s like I had sticks of hair that I could just pull out because it doesn´t belong... o_o It´s like grass blades...

This was a fantastic week! I feel kind of bad because when we were in Cusco we didn´t do anything but consejo really, but here in our sector we were pulling hard! We ended the week with 11 new investigators! And we found 7 of them yesterday and of those 7, 5 we found last night at the same time! That was super cool to see that the Lord was willing to bless us for our diligence in wanting to achieve 7 new investigators this week despite consejo and working until the last moment, because it was the last door I was going to knock where we found the 5, it was an abuelita with 4 of her granddaughters.

My health is super great, I bundled up in Cusco to make sure I´d remain healthy.

Our sector as I said is going really well right now, we´re working on teaching people as well as finding. It´s good.

My spirits are so much better than a week or two ago, I´m feeling good about my efforts in the mission again and I´m making more personal effort to be better. I´m also happy with what I´m doing now.

Also, we had consejo de lideres this week too, that was definitely the best one I´ve been to yet! (out of 2 that´s not too hard... but it was better than the other ones in the office too :D ) I´m hilarious, seriously. :D :D :D Jejejeje jajaja hehe hahaha! I just literally laughed what I wrote out in laugh form... O.o I like these emojis I can make too!

Okay, seriously now, we had 11 new investigators like I mention above I´m sure. And yeah, that was awesome. Another thing is that I had a very large brain fart Sunday morning, I´m pretty sure it´s because I forgot to pray that morning because I jumped out of bed into the shower. Also, I leave my journal up on the light fixture in our pension´s house when I have to update it and couldn´t at night because reasons. And so I leave it there until night, but I forgot it last night because it was the birthday of her sister-in-law and so we ate at their house.

Also, I got a haircut today and used Elder Bednar´s picture as the example pic for the barber, and he asked if he was the President of the Jehovah´s Witnesses, I said that he was an Apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And he cut my hair like his, so now I have an Elder Bednar do. :D Also, this is why I just realized I had gel in my hair, because I don´t know when the barber put it in my hair. I didn´t have any space-time continuum problem, just a barber put gel on me head.


I got cool things in Cusco, and I´m not going to mention any of them because they´re surprises.

OH! And Giordano got baptized!

Silly me, I was almost forgetting that.

Giordano is the pension´s son, Hermana Esther. He turned 8 a couple weeks ago, well, about a month. But he was baptized on Saturday, and it was very nearly black when the service started and so Elder Carlson couldn´t read the sheet music to play the piano, so we used the blessed blessing of technology and held a phone´s flashlight up to it so he could read it. Why? Because the power was down on the grid for maintenance or something and was supposed to come back on at 5, which it didn't, so we took pics and then had the service start in the dark. About 5:30ish. 6 it´s black pretty much.


I conducted the baptismal service which was cool and neat. And then after the messages and his grandma´s musical number had just finished... the lights came back on! So the ordinance was done in the light. And then we missionaries sang another number and then it kept going with the welcome and all and then it ended and was good.

I think that´s the important things for this week, be good, have fun, read the Book of Mormon because we are blessed when we do that and go climb a mountain if you feel like it. That´s fun!
