Hey Family!!!
Hey family how is it all going for you? It is going great for us here just had a solid week of work just trying to work super hard to be an example for the Callao Zone. I sent you two pictures, one of my bathroom and yes there is no room it is crazy. Sitting on the toilet and having to turn to the side because the have put the sink right over the toilet which is crazy. and then another picture of me and the marriot. haha because you have booked our room haha how awesome is that. O ya I was thinking about coming and getting you from the airport that night depending on what time you get in so you can still have the translator there but if you dont want to you dont have to, because I think I will be there. :) haha But you just gotta let me know what time you will be getting in. haha Man I remember how lost I was when I landed too, haha I didnt understand a word they were saying to me haha. But I cant wait either it is going to be crazy, seeing the pictures of Jordan just blew me away and cant believe that he is already home and that he got there safe. haha But we had a good week, we had Lander, Jacky, Abraham and victoria in the chapel yesterday. And So we had more this time and we are thinking that lander could be getting baptized this saturday or the next and jacky we are gonna put a date, but abraham and victoria have to get baptized. But a good week we have been working super hard just trying to give it my all knocking a ton of doors asking everyone who we can teach and finding some people. My sector is crazy, my shoes get so dirty, it is like walking on four wheeler trails and ya my shoes will be toast at the end of these next couple months. But I still have alot left to go . I always think that it is getting close but it is still far away , alot of work left to do before I can rest. I have a couple cool experiences that happened to me this week. So we knocked this door and a pretty cool lady answers and told us that she was listening to the missionaries a couple months ago and that she was busy and if we could come back a different day and so I said ya thats fine, and then this dog comes up to the porch and starts to shake like dogs do after they get out of the bath and I thought it was slobber, but then I look down at my agenda and there was blood all over my agenda and then I start to turn my back to the dog and there was blood on my shirt and man it was a mess of just dogs blood that he was shaking and it got all over us and so we spent the rest of the day with dogs blood spots on our shirts. It was gross but hey at the same time awesome because I would of never had stories like that in the office. And another story is we were walking down the street in our sector and I saw this door and I felt the need to knock it, it seems to stick out to me, and so we did and this guy answered and just opened it a little bit so we could barely see his face and we said hey brother how you doing and all that good stuff and we asked him if we could come in and he said sure, one sec, and he opened the door and his daughter was seated there and his son and his wife (well his girlfriend because they arent married) it was awesome to find a whole family like that together becasue it doesnt happen to often and we showed them pictures of our families and then we taught them and it was a good lesson and we will see what we can do there. The dad told us that he is looking for the truth. But we really had a good week of finding new people to teach, but now it is just finding them again and getting them to church. But I will just keep working hard. President Tyler called me last night and told me that I have to find a Casa Capilla ( that would be like a house chapel, I dont know how to say it in english) and that I have to do it this week. Because the chapel that we go to is too far away and so the stake wants to open up a branch where I am at and then combine the other part of the ward with other wards, so that is exciting to find a closer place for us to go so that we can have more in the chapel. But the only thing is that is wont be this nice chapel it will just be a house and that is where we will be having our sunday meetings it looks like. But wish me luck. haha O ya that is an awesome idea for the webbs way cool. But for Pres tyler you dont need to buy anything if you dont want... O ya another experience, we were teaching this lesson and we went into the house and there was dog poop and pee on the floor and I sat down like right next to it, and the lady didnt even care and so I was like ya whatever and then in like the middle of the lesson my backpack strap fell in the pee and I was so grossed out it was nuts, and now you know how my sector is. There are millions of dogs, because we are right by the beach and everyone just dumps their garbage out on the beach and then all the dogs come to eat the garabe. SO ya practilly I am serving in a garbage dump with houses on it. haha but it is awesome because the people are so humble but at the same time not married. This friday we had a meeting in the office and got to see the webbs and Elder Diaz and it was awesome to go back. I felt a little sad not to be there any more but I love my sector and the work that Elder Sagastume and I are doing. He is awesome also and so we are doing good. But this next week coming up we have a few service projects planned to paint and help abraham lift some tree trunks from the garbage so he can sell them to make some money, and excited to help but not excited to sort through garbage. haha and so we will be super busy . Love you all so much , And just so you know kod, Lucas is spelled with an A. Love you all a ton. Have a great week mom and dad love you both, thanks mom for the boxes and yes sister I will pray for him. Hope all goes well with steph , let me know how it is all going. Hope all the nephews and niece are good. Keep up the great work tor and tam. Hows the countdown dev? Elder Stauffer.
