Sometimes when you teach the advasary works hard to stop you. Masen has a great spirit dealing with it.

Hi All,

Sorry about all the package talk…I have sent him two packages that he has not received.  I asked him 5 very specific questions and he answered one of them.  He still has not told us about his new companion.   We will have a lot to talk about in 13 days. 

Love you all

Wendy

this is whats going down with the packages, well i sent you a letter that Pres. Blunck sent, but apart from that the packetero. (the person that gets the packages ) said that i have to go to the mail office personaly to get a package, which Pres. Blunck wont let happen because it is out of the mission, or he has to change some documents. that was the first thing that he told me, then he told me that he doesnt think that i will be able to get my package at all. i have no idea why. it might  be Pres. Blunck just saying no because he is mad. we didnt do so hot this past month in the mission. 

the one that i should be able to get is the one that will get delivered directly to the mission offices, becuase they said that if you sent it fedex i would get it, but obviously the sent that messege way to late. 

you didnt do anything wrong i think that they are just changing the rules or something. the elder told me that becuase you put Elder he couldnt get it for me. i think its because thats a name down here. 

ya but this week was hard. we contacted all week and didnt get anything. we are working with 2 families where their dads arent members. both of them are named jose. one is gonzales the other vicente. they are both way cool. jose gonzales is super sweet. he likes to play soccer and is always playing. thats why we cant find him in his house. its kinda frustrating, but i know how it is. i just hope he keeps coming to church. his wife is a member, but she is the problem of the family. she likes to drink and party. so we are working hard with him because he is the chill one and wants to get his family back together. his daughter helps us out alot. 

the other one is jose vicente. he is cool. works with silver making jewlery. has had a hard time with his family in his life. he was the religious one and wanted to go to church and everything, but his wife Doris didnt want to. then they had a big fight and he moved out and Doris and the daughter got baptised. they are both super cool. jose now wants to get his family back together, and wants to have more faith so he is listening to us. i just hope he will go to church with us, and get baptised. 

they are cool, and i think that they will get baptised next month or in feb. the baptisms that we have for this month are kids. all are younger than 15 so im kinda sad for that, but atleast we are helping them join their family.

this week was funny. the other day we contacted a shoemaker. well he contaced us. we started to talk to him and said that 1 time he prayed to god and god helped him sell his shoes. so i was like sweet well lets invite him to church. then we started talking a little more and he just wanted to fight. i was like ya im out then. we were trying to go and i invited him to church. gave him the pamphlet and wrote down where the church is. i put a star next to it to make it stand out a little more, and when i gave it to him he started to scream at me. ah how can you draw this. this is from the devil. you teach about god then draw this. who are you people. ha ha ha ahaha haha then i stood up and told him striaght. ya why do you want to prove us wrong and fight with us. you know this is just a star and there is nothing wrong with this. i hope that you can find god cause i know that he can help you. your invited to church. then i just left. 

hahaha its a little funny now, but at that time it made me a little mad. another fool told me that i didnt know what i was talking about when i asked him what church he went to. tried to show me up telling me what church meant. then we read with him what it means and he just said nope. ha ha ha. so i asked him what he thought it meant. hahahah he got all mad and said you are the misisonaries you have to teach me. ha haha i wanted to say i just did, but we just left. 

well hope this week is a great week for you guys cause i know it will be a good one for me. 

the families that we have are sweet

love you all

bye

It has been a great run but now Elder Fenn is needed in the Big City of Lima.

Hi Friends and Family,

Masen has finally been transferred after 7 months in Nueva Cajamarca.   He has asked to stay in this area because he continually felt that he had a work to accomplish and had not done so yet.  As he puts it-- the good thing is he will get our Christmas package.  Our Stake President told us that the prayers of missionaries are powerful and if we have a special need we should have Masen add it in his prayers, so we have asked him to pray for Bryn to get a better ACT score.  If she raises it just one point, it qualifies her for a much larger scholarship than she is already getting.  She is going to attend Snow College next fall.

I am not sure what the reference to the steps means, but I do know that the poor people of Lima live on the hillside, so there must be a place where they have to climb massive amounts of stairs.   Ronald and Liz are the ward members he was the closest to in Nueva Cajamarca—the ones he ate grub worms with.

well the big news. im going back to lima, so i should be able to get all my packages when they get there. ya ill be sad to leave this area, but there is always another exciting adventure on the other side. dont worry about my comp from humble backgrounds becuase we all live the same here.

brynlie can get 1 point better, but its in her head. if she thinks she can she can. she is smart. getting a's and b's in calc. she just gets scared in the tests and say that she cant do better than me, but she can. easily! but i will definantly pray for her. i will be praying that she gets a 27! not joking. i know she can do it.

i didnt tell ej happy birthday last week because we went to an area way far away and everybody new how to get there and how much time it took except for my district. we got there like 45 min late, and the zone leaders didnt let us have more time.

as for me. im headed to lima. im kinda excited because i get to have christmas in lima, and new year which is super super super cool, but its ugly. im actuly way excited because i will be able to see ronald and liz get sealed in the temple. so im actually way happy to go. but nevous to see where i go. i might have to wake up everyday and go do the stair stepper 3000 every mornig hiking the mountains to find my investigators, but at least ill get in shape. ha ha.

as for andy. he is a punk in the end he started to drink again. his wife felt betrayed and they dont want to get married. she still wants to get baptised, but cant because they wont get married. the kicker. . . .  they still are going to live together. andy knows he is into some bad stuff, but just doesnt want to change. i want to smack some sense into him. well i have with the bible, but i think he needs a physical beating. ah man i feel so sad for this family, im angry with them because they dont change, and im angry with myself because i cant help them any more. ive ran out of ideas to help them, and time cause im going to lima, but oh well. live and learn. ive learned alot from them.

one cool thing that happend this week is we are visiting another family in kinda the same situation. the dads a drunk. the mom wants to get baptised and married and knows the church is true and everything, but all their kids are member. 1 has his papers in for the mission, another one is preparing and he is like 16 the rest are small. but the dad didnt want anything to do with the church except listen to the word of god in his house. he thought that was enough to bring peace to his home. about a week ago he was driving in his motocar( the motercycle with 3 wheels and a bench over the two wheels in the back. ) (Crazy) but he was durnk driving in that and roled it. the next morning his 6 year old kid woke him up in the middle of the road. i think thats what changed his mind on the marriage thing. we went to visit them this week and he wasn’t there, but the wife said that she was looking for her paper to get married this 15 of december. ah cool. this family has change alot, and i think it was more of the example of the oldest son that is going on a mission. i wont see any more baptisms here, but amaya should have 2 real fast.

just ran out of time.

love you all

Finally another baptism to look forward to.

I told Masen that I got a promotion at work and the hours are long so his first comments are about my new working conditions.  I also mentioned that it would be fun to be able to take the family down to Peru to pick him up when his mission is completed.   Wendy in her last post recognized that Masen was frustrated with the progression of the work with the people but this letter to me seems to have lifted spirits.

when i fist got here ronal and liz were like teach us some english, so i was like ya alright what do you know and they said ``work  hard to live like a gringo´´. ha ha ha looks like thats what your doing. do your bosses say anything, or do they like that you work like crazy? it would be way sick if you could pick me up, but i think it would be cooler if we came back after i was relesed to do some things that i cant do while im a missionary, like swim. we explored a cave one time, and it was cool, but the guide said that there is another way to go and you have to swim to see it all. we walked as far as we could, until we got to the water, and it was way sweet, but i want to go farther. either way it would be sweet to see you guys here. 

i hope romney wins, but it would bring alot of good and bad stuff about the church. thats sick that tayden is taking classes i cant wait to see that fool all grown up and huge. 

oh before i forget, i need to know how to make chicken feddichini. and sheperds pie, and other goods that mom knows i love that are easy. we now have a stove and can cook our dinner and breakfest. like a good pancake mix would be sick to know how to make. but they have to be from scratch so i can do it here. 

as for me in the mission this week was way wack. my comp had to fly to lima one day, the next day get his papers good so hes not illigal and then fly back that night. he then stayed in tarapoto because he got back way late. he left tuesday at like 3 and got back thursday at like noon. it sucked. the whole time i was in moyo (Moyabamba), but they let me work here for like an hour and a half with another white kid from payson ut. it was sooooooooooooooooooooo sick to be with a gringo. ha ha ha. we just walked around talking about the weird stuff we would see in english so nobody could understand us. while we were in the bus to come here everybody was staring at us as we talked in english and then one dude said something stupid in spanish. then we talked in spanish for a little to let him know we understud. it was funny. i dont know if i told you about andy and rosemary, but he is a member that hasnt been to church in like 6 years and rosemary is his girlfriend. they have two kids. he is 24 and she is 19. we were working with them for a long time, then we had to  drop them. the otherday andy was drunk and got into some bad stuff. ha ha the next day he came to find us to help him change his life. ya he should be getting married the 23, thats the goal, and then she will get baptised the 24. what up. we have a nother baptism planed. finally. now i just need more. 

love you all have to go.

hope you understand the email. i was in a rush trying to send it. 

I am just copying what Wendy put together for the email, she does a better job any ways.

Hola,

Masen and I actually e-mailed back and forth today for a bit.  This is what he said: 

Wendy:  Besides being awesome, how are you doing? 

Masen: completely awesome! today was changes and we didnt get one. 8 months in NC what up!

Wendy:  It is amazing that you still feel effective in one area for such a long time. 

Masen:  ha ha ha effective???? the past 6 months has been ridiculously hard, but that’s why i don’t want to leave. i don’t feel like i have   accomplished all that i need to accomplish here. so if i leave i will leave unfinished business here. 

Wendy:  Next transfers will happen before Christmas then?

Masen:  next transfer is in 6 weeks

Wendy:  Is it a miracle that you got to keep your companion?

Masen:  ha ha ha ha ha my comp was kinda a miracle, but not really. they try to keep us together for 2 changes at least (3 months) this will be    our third change so its not too crazy. but the miracle is that I’m still here. they are starting to  tell me that i need to buy land because    I’ve been here so long ha ha ha. 

Wendy:  What are you doing for p-day today?

Masen:  servicio. we are going to help someone. ya i dont know how i feel about that because i wanted to do something else, and we did    service last week, but its all good. what would Jesus do. and it is getting hotter, when the sun is out. its starting to be "winter" here or         the rainy season. why they say winter i have no idea because its gets hot, but usually there are a lot of clouds and at like 12 1 or 2 it             pours rain for like 10 minutes and cools everything off. 

Masen:  thats ronald and liz and andrew and sister claudia. hermana cludia is going to try and write you. she speaks english, a little, but i    think she can write alright. love you. chow--} (im hungry. ha ha) 

(There is a picture that is suppose to go here but it didn't copy over so I will have to do some work on it when I get home.)

Here is Masen’s e-mail.   The part about coming home early is in regards to his baseball scholarship at Western Texas College.

i dont want to come home early. right now thats not an option. i have the interview this week and i will talk with presidente blunck and let you know monday, but when you talk to coach dodd tell him that i will be moving back at the end of october and see what he says. 

ha ha about the package i get them in the first part of the month, because that is when the zone leaders go to lima, but if president blunck comes for training, or interviews he brings them too, so if it gets there befor thursday this week i will get it. ah that would be sweet. the tie will be super awesome, im almost positive that i can use it, but if not ya it will be a sweet gift for another family. 

talk about a trunky letter huh. wx beats bountiful, my friends are comming home, stuff about baseball and college. man i only have a year, and not even that. ha ha haha. 

dad told me about his promotion. . what what. thats sweet. im happy with that. ha ha maybe its because i was praying for a new car when i get home???? ha ha ha ha haha ha haha hahahahhahahaha. ah i crack myself up. 

this week was hard. we have alot of investigators, but they dont do anything. we always invite them to church. they dont do it. invite them to read. nope, and to pray. hardly ever, but this week we went aroud to visit most or our peeps and see whats up. they all said the wanted us to keep coming and visit them, so we told them that we would visit them if the went to church this sunday. only one showed up. crap, but the one that showed up was one that i didnt think would do it, so it was bitter sweet. this week i have a lot of plans to have a lot of success. 1 we are going to visit enrique. he is like 25 and is the boyfriend of a menos active. she is thowing up the walls that we have to clime, but we will just give her a little burn and teach him and have a baptism date. the other one is that we are getting refrences like we should. some families  want to visit other families, and want us to help. usually the refrences are hey visit this family. but now the members are taking interest. ah i hope so much that we hit it huge next month, this month i just want to get things going like they should. 

love you all got to go. 

A late entry but a good one from the kid!

this week we had a baptism finaly. it was a single mom with two kids, but the older one lives with his dad. the daughter lives with here, but she is only seven. we found her by trying to contact a inactive family. the inactive family didnt want anything to do with us and pushed us out the door, but i asked for a refence from them and they said that i could visit the house infront of theirs. we went and knocked. tuned out that one of the daughters is a member and is 20. her sister got baptised. their is like 30 pople that live in this tiny house. and most of them are under the age of ten. ya ya alright 30 i a little much, but there is the mom. hna. blanca. magdalena (she got baptised.) Elizabeth (member) their brother merly and like 6 niños. so there is a lot of them. Blanca is the grandma. with names are her kids and the niños are the grand kids. i hope that some of them follow the example of the two now members. the story of magdalena is really rough so i wont share it, but it was cool to hear how much she has changed.

well i have to go. i tried to send two pics. but it didnt work. so ill try to discribe it. yesterday it rained a ton in like 5 minutes. luckly we just got back to our house to use the restroom after lunch. but it started to pour. so i got out my rainboots and my rain coat. it was funny

got to go mom

love you all

running like crazy still. ha haha hahahaha that’s life. and I know how you feel. there isn’t enough time in the day. the name of the family that ate the worms with us is. familia Guerrero mas conocido como Ronald and Liz. they are the family that helps us teach. Ronald has been a member since he was 16 but Liz just got baptized in January. Ronald was super inactive, but now he is the second counselor in the branch presidency. and Liz is the first counselor in the relief society. I love that family. there son is crazy. he is 2 years old, but super loco. just like his parents. ha haha. love to hear that tayden is doing good. and Easton and brietyn and bryn. hope they are all loving life.

oh ya my spanish is bad in the worm video still, but if you could understand it, it is too funny. my comp acted like a little girl ha haha. mas que yo. and when he had the head in his hand he said it was moving, THAT IT WAS ALIVE. ha ha ha haha I asked him how it could be alive if he had eaten the body. that was a way funny part. but when he pucked was the best. ha ha ahah ah aha ahah ahaha aha ha aha ha haha. did you get the video of when we killed the rat?

love you dad.

Masen is working in his Field of Dreams and finding mucho success

Hi Family and Friends,

Another happy e-mail from Masen. He says the work is tough, but I can’t imagine anything more providential than making contact with someone who found the Book of Mormon on the side of the road and has already read it. Amazing! Thanks for your prayers and support!

we ate suri live.
ya suri is a right of passage in iquitos. we just did it for fun and it was the funniest grosest exprience of my life. i have it all on video. i will try to send it to you tomorrow.

as for the time here it has been normal. not to fast, not to slow. and i dont want a transfer. i love my area even though it is tough. i believe we are changing it. last week a family went to church. their friend invited them so they came. we talked to them and took their address. it sounded like it was far away, but all the members said it was close. becasue the members said it was close we went to visit them. the branch president has a mototaxi. its a motercycle choped in half and the front is attached to a bench with 2 wheels. i make it sound crazier than it is, but its wack. ha ha. so we went with him. we were driving for like 10 minutes when i saw the sign SANTA CLARA ---> ya tight its not that far away. then we drove for like another 15 20 minutes to get there. ah su. tan lejos. it is in the middle of no where. only thing out there is rice farms. as we were driving the road is pure white. and my comp (becuase he is columbian and always joking about his farm) said hey where is the coke. ha ha ha i laughed a little then noticed the road. i said they found a perfect way to hide it. look at the road. he laughed and when he got out he made the action like he was going to sniff it. hes a goof, but way funny. elder collins called him goofy when they were in the same district.

the mission work goes on. estamos luchando como siempre. this week we found one dude that has read the book of mormon. he said he found it on the side of the road. its amazing how the lord can prepare someone. when we talked to him he asked about that, but said something about how Jesus Christ existed before this life. i asked him what he would think if i said he exsited before too. his eyes lifted up. then we read in the bible where god says that before this life he knew us and we were pre ordained and everything. he was shocked and it was cool. we only talked to him once for 20 minutes then had to go. i am sure that he will progress and be a leader in the church.

got to go. love you all.

im trying to send pics but its not working.

Elder Fenn

These are the bugs, YUMMY YUMMY. How would you like to eat these plump and juicy morsels.

This is dinner!!  Masen said that these bugs are high in protein and palm oil.  It is the missionaries rite of passage to eat these bugs.  I for one would have a hard time even picking the bug up but Masen has eaten several questionable delicacy which in my eyes makes him more than a man....

it makes him a missionary!!

Worms are part of serving in other countries but these are the worms Masen will have for dinner tonight.

This is Masen's e-mail from Monday. It's a bit short, but he wrote Tayden an e-mail where he gives advise to his little brother about playing football.  Tayden is lucky to have a big brother who loves and cares about him as well as the other siblings.

Masen's reference to my "faith" is in response to my e-mail where I told him that every day last week I would look at the picture of him baptizing in the river and think to myself..."he is just like John the Baptist in the wilderness--so amazing!" Then one day it hit me..."HE IS IN THE RIVER"--parasites...bacteria...please tell me you are wearing shoes!

 

First things first. where is your faith? ha ha ha ha im a missionary

and im not doing anything wrong so god will protect me, and im not

stupid enough to not take stuff to get better so dont worry. i

probably do have a parisite of something, but it hasent hurt me yet.

ha ha ah ah hahaah oh ya i will have a worm in my stomache tonight

just so you know. ill send you the picture of what im going to eat.

its so discusting, and it will probably only be in my stomache for 30

seconds. ha ha

read taydens email. i sent him a load of stuff that i am learning. its

really nerdy and missionary, but its tight. i know you will like it.

one thing i need for my health is a balance band. 20 or 30 doesnt

matter, but i need the best. i get alot of headaches here becuase of

the sun and the stress. but im loving life. my comp is the best and we

always laugh. its all good here. a little tough in the missionary

work.

got to go love you all.

Elder Fenn

The "worm in his stomach" is referring to a worm that they eat in the Peruvian Jungles called "Suri". Eating one is a missionary rite of passage. This is what they look like:

Suri is a clean food rich in protein and palm oil.

Masen got his new companion finally and he loves him.

Masen's message this week is full of fun comments about his new companion and the work he is doing with the people of Nueva Cajamarca.  This is a great message that makes a parent happy that their son is about the fathers work.

well to start off i had a great week. i finaly got my new comp. he is 22 and from columbia. his name. Elder Amaya. he is the best. he is super funny and we are alway laughing. the best thing is that he was in the same district as Elder Collins before. so we have fun making fun of everyone. the other best part about this week is that i got to baptise in the river baby. it was so sweet. the baptism was way spiritual and you could really feel the spirit, but in the waters of mormon (ya thats directly translated, i dont know if thats the right name or not, but you will understand.) was way better. when i baptised him he came out of the water and we took a couple more pictures. while we were taking pictures he turned to me and said, when is was in the water my body felt different. i asked him if it was a good feeling or what he thought. he just said different, but i know it was good. then we said jokingly that its because everything was washed clean. we laught a little. but then when he bore his testimony it was really powerful. you could really feel the spirt and tell that we helped him in his life. you know you got a good one when he says that he knows its true, but wants to learn more, then asks the whole branch for help. he will be a good leader in the church, and i think he might even go on a mission.

saturday was independence day for peru or something so everyone was celebrating. we were contacting and it was good. then we went to a different area closer to the pesions house. the first door we knocked my comp said we are going to find a future stake president here. i said that was too small and joking said profet, then i said no, but something bigger than a stake pres. a huge man answered the door and let us in. he told us that he was super cathlic and hes not going to chang for nothing. i said that was tight, but we would like to share what we know with him. he let us and we started talking. it was all normal then he shared with us a dream (EVERYONE HAS DREAMS/REVILATIONS HERE. . . EVERYONE) but this one was different. he said he dreamed a light, and heard a voice, but couldnt see anyone in the light. then the voice read jaramis 1:5 in the bible that says that we are chosen and ordained before this life. after he had that dream he converted to the catholic chruch and hasnt had it again. i am banking that after we shared our message with him that he will have that dream again, because if he does that we can baptise him and he will become a pres. of something big.

well i got to go. i love you all and miss you all.

Hello again from Nueva Cajamarca

Hi Friends and Family,

Here is Masen’s last two weeks of e-mails. I think I neglected to forward his e-mail from two Mondays ago, so I’ve included it. I love it when I see Spanish taking over his brain, like when he spells lesson “leccion”. We are getting ready to send him a package so he’s listed a few requests…some predictable, others not so much.

Hi Family,

Mom, I would like calcium pills I dont eat like anything dairy here. the milk and cheese are horrible, and yogurt is alright, but i dont drink it that much. one thing you can send is my mission commision by bruce R McConkie. ya i dont know how to spell, but i think they have cards of it in the distribution center. like 5 of those in spanish would be cool. i have one in english, but several people have asked me for it. ya so my area is Nueva Cajamarca, i dont know if that will show up. Moyobamba might, and if that doesnt Tarapoto should. im like 3;30 hours south of tarapoto. and 1 hour out of moyobamba. my two line email last week was because i didnt get any of your emails. we email an hour earlier here. our schedule is different in the jungle because of the heat. but its not bad here. only like high 90s.

ya so my area is freaking tough. lima was ugly and it was hard to get into houses there, but it is totaly different here. we can usually get into houses to teach pretty easy, but they either dont understand,

dont care, or we cant find them again after the first leccion. freaking sorry if i write half in spanish, im writing freaking fast. the other day we went to visit a dad of a family whos wife is a member. he has all the knowledge that he needs to be baptized, but he is scared that his family will reject him if he stops drinking. Ah crap that should be easy to drop cause its crap, and we had the sickest lesson with him, but he just wouldnt accept a baptism date and dropping alcohol. yesterday we got into a house and they arent going to church or anything. we invited them to baptism, and they accepted, then they asked us if they needed to be married first. that usually doesnt happen. we said yes and explained why. they said that they wanted to learn more which is normal. it was the first lesson. so I have high hopes that they will get baptized next month. we are teaching another family of 7. mom dad and 5 girls. hahahahaha. but the dad is way cool. he knows a ton about every other church but ours, and he said that he likes our visits, i hope that he will get baptized next month, with total his family.

got to go. out of time.

Wendy keeps up better than me. Masen got to skype

If picture is worth a thousand words, then skyping is worth a gazillion! We got a great surprise Sunday when Masen was able to skype from the jungle. There was a delay and it was hard to discern what he was saying, but just seeing his smile was all we needed.

He was at the ward mission leader’s house and as we talked people came by and Masen would aim the camera at them and introduce them to us. We were all squished together trying to be in the camera frame all at once. He had ear phones and a mic so they could not hear us, but we would wave and they would wave back. There were several children, a cute 2 ½ year old who Masen persuaded to say “Hola”! And a little eight year old girl snuggled right up to him and “shared” one of the head phones. Her name is Sondra and when Greg commented to Masen that it looks like he has a little “friend” Masen burst into a big smile and nodded his head. EJ and Brietyn cried several times when he spoke just to them.

He looked incredibly happy, showered with love, and completely at home. It was hard to believe he has only been there for 3 weeks. He has a pensionista—a member that is hired to cook for the missionaries. In Lima his pensionista did not cater to them, but his pensionista now has told him she will try and cook American food that he wants if he gets her a recipe. So his big request was a recipe for pizza dough. His companion, who is from Chile, was in the background saying “pizza please…pizza please”. He also asked for us to send him brownie mixes. We asked him if he was still having to eat a lot of fish. He said the pensionista saw him eating fish and recognized that he did not like it and told him she would not make him any more fish. Can I just say I LOVE THIS WOMAN! I am so grateful to her for spoiling Masen!

He said he has to cross the river everyday on a bridge this is bouncy like a trampoline…just like the movies. He takes a cold shower every morning…colder that the river. He said that the bugs and spiders have not been any more ominous than the ones in Lima. He said that it is beautiful and amazing and he is loving it. I don’t think it is as remote as you might imagine.

As we were saying goodbye, he aimed the camera at the group of people and we made a heart shape with our hands. He aimed the camera back at himself for a minute then back to the group of people who were making hearts back to us. All barriers vanish…geographical, cultural, language…and we all felt the exchange of pure love and we became brothers and sisters instead of strangers. It was a powerful moment for me.

We asked Masen to call us for his remaining 15 minutes so we could really communicate. It was about another hour when we got his call. The connection was fuzzy and still hard to hear and I asked him if he wanted to call back to try to get a clearer line. He said he only had 12 minutes left on his card and was headed for a meeting and asked me what else there was to talk about? Enough said…”been good talking to you but got to get back to work.” I actually thought that was the perfect way to end the call. Can’t wait for Christmas!

I’m writing this at work and funny thing just happened his mission president, President Blunck, just called in. I could not help it…I had to tell him that I had a missionary in his mission and what a great conversation we had with him on Sunday. He, of course, told me what a great missionary Masen is and thanks for sending him to us!

This is Masen’s “two-line” e-mail from Monday…(really Masen?)

ya so it was good talking to you yesterday. ill write you next week. this computer stinks. ill see if i can send you pics another way. love you all. bye

This last week Masen let us know that he is getting his wish and transfered into the jungle... oh wow

Hi Friends and Family,

Here is his e-mail from this week. It has finally happened…he’s going to the Jungle. This is why the Lord sends out 19 year olds…who else would be so eager to live in sweltering heat with giant bugs and spiders and endure poor, remote living conditions. He will have to fly to get there. The zone leaders fly to the mission office once a month to meet with the president and take back the mail. I believe a rite of passage of living in the Jungle is to eat certain giant caterpillar. Our mother’s day call is really going to be interesting now.

In Primary on Sunday the question was asked…do you have anybody you really look up to and want to be just like them. Several of the kids responded and cute EJ shot his hand up and replied that he wants to be like Masen. I was telling the story to Greg at home and Brynlie said to EJ that Masen is her hero too. Greg made the comment of how nice it is to have a big brother to look up to. I wrote about that to Masen and thanked him for being the kind of big brother that we can all look up to.

In this e-mail we did a question/answer section…so in the middle he includes my question and then his answer.

first things first, hold off on that package, im going to the jungle, so it wont get to me for forever. ya i just found out about my transfer. im super super stoked, but i wanted one more change here. the family of luis is going to get married so we can baptise his mom. puchi. oh well i just hope things keep going with that family like they are. im glad im changing though. gives me a fresh start, which means i have to work super hard and i want that because the time goes by faster becuase its funner. im super stoked, but ill be going to war with the bugs and spiders. alright.

Did you get to enjoy some baptisms on Saturday?
yes ma'am i did. we baptied luis's aunt. it was pretty cool because i guess she was a little reble a month ago alway leaving the house and staying out late. . . . if she came home, and rosemary (the mom of luis) said that she was changing, and that she new the church was true and this was the right thing to do. its super sweet to hear that come from one of your investigators, and its cooler that she is still young. i just saved her from a life of miserey. thats whats up.
Did I tell you that Grandma Lynn turned 85 a couple weeks ago? She is the same age as President Monson. Do you ever get visiting General Authorities down there that talk to you?
same age as president monson. she is a boss. thats super awesome. wow. she is living right ha ha. we have had 70s talk to us in the mtc and one time for our stake conference, but thats it. area 70 by the way. but they are super good at giving talks.
everybody is old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im old!! your old! ha ha we are all old. man life is so short. what to do in so short a time. well the best thing to do is do what larsen is doing and give your time to the lord ha ha. its pretty sweet to see what the lord can do, and the cooler part is what the lord can do with me. the lord has his perfect plan for everyone. we just have to ask to see what we have to do. that hero stuff is sweet to hear, but they should look at someone better. but hearing that makes me want to be better so that they can have someone better to look at.
love you all

Two weeks late

Hi All,

I neglected to send this e-mail out last week. Funny story. A call came through on my home phone with like 20 numbers on the caller ID. I showed Bryn and said look at this crazy number and didn’t answer it of course because I thought it was a soliciter. I jumped in the shower and heard the phone ring two more times. Bryn said she ignored the calls because she knew I would tell her to tell them I won’t talk to them and she hates doing that. As I was dressing Tayden called on his cell phone and said mom I just talked to Masen and he is trying to call you he lost his debit card and needs it cancelled. I WAS IGNORING MASEN’S CALLS!!! He actually did call a few minutes later and we talked for barely 2 minutes. It was so fun to hear his voice. He sounds exactly the same which was strangely surprising… I guess because he had changed so much on the inside. We cancelled the card and nothing has been taken from his account. So that was a great bonus for the week.

He talks about telling an investigator the “story about you mom” trying to help her find courage to pay tithing. I’m not sure what story he is referring to and I am very pleased to find that Masen was actually listening to my stories. We were in St. George for a dance competition for Brietyn…he refers to that. The CCM is MTC in Spanish.

Here it is…

do i think in spanish yet. . . yes and no. when im thinking to my self it depends on the day. sometimes i wake up and i find myself thinking spanglish. its funny to catch yourself like that sometimes. one time i cant remember what i was doing, but i turned to my comp and started talking to him in english. it was funny cause he was like WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND. haha but we had a good laugh with that. but the spanish is good. i can talk to almost everyone and understand almost everything. so its good. sorry about the email thing last week. i try to give you a heads up next time if i can remember, but this time i didn´t really know what was going down untill like friday before. the cool thing is that i saw one of my teachers from the ccm in the temple, then we went to the cafateria and i saw a kid from my class in the ccm. so that was tight. maybe i will see him today again because we are going to a place called larco mar. its a super rich place thats in his mission. so maybe or maybe not. we are just headed there to get out of our zone and play some fútbol on the beach. should be sweet.

1st place huh. dang super sick. i want to go to st. george. . . . no i dont i want to go to san diego. ya and go to the beach. ha ha. maybe when i get home brietyn will be pro and we will be going to san diego for here dance. ya that would be sick. so brietyn work hard and when i get home have a compitition that month. awesome. ha ha

the world is changing. we are supposed to be having colder weather for a month now. last week we had like 2 days where it dropped in temp. but the days after that it was super hot. not hot like bridger has, but 95ish i think. at night it drops, but i still cant sleep under a blanket. and i have a fan (big fan) in my face all night. when i got to lima it was cold enough in the mornings to wear a long sleev shirt outside. so im sure it will get there.

about the dude in the park. nothing much has happended with him. we have visited him a couple times now, but he hasent come to church because sundays he goes and visits his family like 2 hours away and plays soccer with them. but thats alright for now because he is smart i can can see him changing soon. as for the steak counsler ya dont know anything new. but he is a punk. ha ha no not really. the crappy part about it is that his wife is our biggest help here. hopefully that doesnt go away.

but i have a better story this week. so i was way scared to not have a baptism this month we have had the goal of this week for a girl named jenifer for this week 28 of april. she is kinda iffy still so i dont know if it will happen. but wednesday we went to visit this family that we thought we were going to drop. they have been listining to the missionarys for 2 years now. we have been visiting them for 3 weeks with not much new happeing. when we went we said that we were going to invite them to be baptised. if they accepted, cool. if not we were going to drop them. the mom actually started talking about baptism first and said that she was scared that she couldnt live all the laws like tithing. i told her the story of you mom and bore my testimony about it. then she said she was going to be baptised. it was super sweet. we asked her to prepare for the 12 of may. she said no. i was confused and asked why not. she said it was to far away and wanted to get baptised as fast as possible. we had an interview with jenifer already schedualed for thursday. so we just added her in and long story short she was baptised on saturday. it was super super sweet. now we just have to baptise her husband and 1 of her daughters. the other one is already a member. so that helps the month be better. im still hoping that we have another one this week.

my zone is going to the beach today to play futbol, and no i am super white still. that means i cant play futbol that good yet, but im still better than some latins. ha ha there are kids that are crazy good. FAT kids that work me because they have been playing all their life, but ya im alright for a white kid.

as for the garments and stuff that can wait a little if you dont have time or whatever. with that package though i would like my shoe conditioner that is ontop of my dresser i believe. and some kind of chocolete. ha ha. but the jeerky was supper good. i loved it. ah crap if you can i have like 4 pair of pants that can be washed and 2 get washed every week, but it takes about a week to get the laundry back, so if you can send me some pants that can be washed so i dont have to wear the same pants for like 3 days. ha ha and maybe 2 shirts. that would be super super sweet.

thanks for everything, and for the birhtday package. the tie is super sick. i loved it.

love you all.

Happy 20th birthday

Hi Gang,

It was Masen’s birthday yesterday. Our family put 20 candles in a Hersey’s Pie and sang to him and then sent him a picture of the pie aflame. Of course my big worry was that nobody would know it was his birthday and there would be no celebrating. A Peruvian birthday tradition is cracking eggs on your head and then covering it with flour. He will refer to this. He thought he would have to eat fish all week because of Easter. April is his 6^th month mark…can’t decide if it is going fast or slow.

Here is today’s e-mail…

20 years old.

Wow I am old!!!!!

ha ha ha love the pictures of the mega fire. and everyone. ha ha way sweet thanks

but your prayers were answered to the max. word got out that it was my birthday in sacrament meeting from someone in the ward. so every meeting we went to that night there was dinner for me. It was overwhelming. i went from lunch eating rice and chicken to eating tacos to eating rice and chicken in another meeting and then to family night with the bishop where he had refreshments. wow i felt so fat and sick. the miracles that happened this week. i did not eat fish!!! second i didn’t have a funny guy crack an egg on my head. if that happened i would have been mad, but all is good cause it didnt happen.

miracle that didn’t happen. . .. . .getting my package. but thats ok cause i wasnt expecting it.

oh ya another cool thing that happend was one lady gave me toblerone. i didnt think about it at first, but when i got home i remembered that in the airport they were selling this for 20 soles. That is like 7 American dollars. and for a sole 50 we can buy a coke. so thats way expensive. another cool thing is that one of our investigators gave us food.

wow. out of time. sorry for the crapy letter. im trying to write everyone a letter and send it with all my pictures of my mission. we will see what happens this week. hopefully i can send it.

love you all have to go.

sorry again.

Elder Fenn

Wasn't able to avoid the kiss but was able to avoided the alcahol. ja ja ja

A great letter from Masen this week.  He was able to tell us about a couple experiences in their teaching and the success in their baptisms.  Here is the highlights of that letter that I think he will be OK with us sharing with all of you.  It might make you laugh a little as it did me.

!Por fin! estoy 14 libres mas gordo. ja ja no, no es verdad. estoy solamente como 8 libres mas gordo. the package was awesome. The cookies were definitely a uni cookie and tasted weird, but they were soft. I don't know if they tasted weird because of the travel time or because my taste buds have changed or what, but they were still good. I have only opened the chocolate chip ones, the sugar cookies have a message on them. . . ? I am not going to be able to read that, sorry, but I'm definitely looking forward to frosting that huge uni-cookie. yum. Goal to have a happy tummy. . . . . . . didn't work. ha ha ha sorry. the whole week I was sick, not from the package.  I think I got sick from Chili's. Man this week (I) was sick.

Alright this was my week. I finished emailing you last week and then we went to Larcomar. I now know one place in Lima that I can take you. It was sick right on the beach. We went bowling and then went to Chili's. yummmmmmm but i think the chicken got me, it was worth it. Cost 30 soles. We only get 90 personal a month. ha ha ha ha worth it. Ya I dropped a lot of money but its all good. In that day I only spent like 25 bucks to bowl and eat at Chili's.

 

After that the spiritual stuff went down. The whole week we had very good lessons. We are actually having a lot of success. We got one reference for someone that has depression. We knocked the door not knowing what to expect. The mom answered and said oh your from the church right? ha ha ha ya.. hold on. She ran inside, don't know what she did, ran back to the door and opened it way excited and let us in. At first we were like alright sweet they like the church. ha ha The kid with depression is a smart kid like Einstein. We will see what happens with them or maybe not if I get transferred, but I don't think I will. I find out in a half hour. 

The best part of the week is that we had a baptism. The kid is 9 year old so that was cool. What was even a cooler part is that on the 4th of Feb. we baptised his older brother who is 16. Saturday he was able to do the baptism. It was sweet. The brother baptised his little brother. ha ha ha. In May we have a date that the mom will get married so that she can get baptised. Now because of the baptism, one of his sisters who is an evangelist is starting to listen to us. Sweet.

Bad things that went down this week. We went to visit one person that came to church last Sunday. In church his relatives came up to us and said go visit him. Ya so we went. He is Adventista (I think he was trying to say Seventh Day Adventist) or something and when we talked to him he always tries to prove us wrong through the bible. This is a good thing because he knows his bible and that makes him easy to teach. The bad things that happened was that after the lesson he kinda forced us into eating lunch there. It tasted fine, but my comp took a sip of the drink which was juice with alcohol. ha ha sucker drank on his mish but he gave me the heads up not to drink it. Thanks man. After that his daughter came down. She is 16 but looks older. It's custom here to give the women a kiss on the cheek. To defend us from this we throw out our hand for a hand shake. Usually that's it, this has never happened to me before so i threw out my hand not expecting anything. She grabbed my hand and pulled it in so that I could give her a kiss on the cheek. WOW I'm going to hell. Got my first kiss of the mission and after it happened to me my comp tried not to do the same thing, she didn't have that and he got his 5th I think. After that we explained the rule so hopefully that won't happen again here. It was pretty fast and I thought I acted fine not to offend her and get out without that happening. I failed, I'm a failure. ha ha ha

Don't worry, I've already repented. Hopefully that doesn't happen again because it was weird for both parties afterwards. We went back again to teach the dad and invited all his family to listen. They didn't want to but I think they understand better and its all good.

That was kind of the big things of the week.

Bugs aren't bad around here but their are roaches and spiders and stuff. Not bad. There are more at home. got to go. 

Like always, love and miss you

Elder Fenn

 

 

 

Hello everyone

It has been awhile since I have had the time to post updates for Elder Fenn and the successes he is having in Lima.  Much of the problem is that his mother can instant message with him and there usually is no letter to post.  He is still in the north part of Lima but would like to make it to the jungle as soon as possible.  He says that he or his companion will be transferred for sure this next week and he is hoping that it is him.  I find it funny that some of the people are asking Masen about the kind of man Mitt Romney is because they know that he is a "Mormon".  Isn't it interesting that they would know that?  You never know who is watching and what they may think about who we are.  Keep the faith and work hard!

Here is some of the questions his mother asks and his reply.

What about the President and his wife...any association there?
we have training meetings with them every month so ya i see them every once and a while. we have had 2 so far and both times i got to see elder Richardson. i am blessed because i am having success. we have baptised like 8 people in the 3 (almost) months that i have been in the field. the first time i talked to him in the field was like 3 weeks ago and the Saturday before he had just gotten his first baptism. by then i had 8. and last week i saw him again and he said that they were getting more and more so he is starting to work.

this week i had 2 baptisms. they were sweet. our focus in the mission is in the family right. so every time we baptise a family its like a little bonus. the next focus is in hombres mayores, or men older than 18 years old. this is a focus because it is building the church con el sacerdocio, or priesthood.
this week we had 2 baptisms. i would send photos but my card isn´t working. . . so next week. but they were both men older than 18 so it was way sweet. one was a man that came to church with his cousins and his uncle. he is like 32 and said that it was the first time in most of his life that he has felt like that. he felt a feeling that he forgot about, the feeling of peace. the day after he went to Church we saw him again. that Monday he said he wanted to get baptised. that was 2 weeks ago mas o menos and ya he was confirmed a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints yesterday. sweet. the other man was 88 YEARS OLD ha ha. that was kinda a scary baptism. i thought that he might die in the font. but he was actually really smart. you could talk to him and he could understand almost all of it. but you had to shout for him to hear the lessons. we found him because we are teaching his daughter that is 55-60 years old. we will baptise here in May if I'm still here. May because she has to get married first.
Have you had a zone conference or anything yet? When are the next transfers?
the answers are already in the letter, but i have had 2 zone conferences. he is starting to do them every month because i guess as a mission our numbers have gone way down. next transfers. . . . i will find out after the next email sesh how will be transferred and where. but i am almost positive that I'm not going. my comp has 7 months in the same area. pobre-cito ha ha. por kid. but its all good. i have a lot of investigators that are way cool here and i want to see them get baptized. ha ha ha the coolest of our investigators are from elder Richardson's zone. ja jaja but not his area. we stoled them because they live a lot closer to our Church than the other church.
out of time.. never have enough..

No transfer so still in Lima

Sorry to have missed a week but Elder Fenn is doing great and still in Lima and his first area.  He has found more success but is waiting for a couple items to fall in line to go ahead with the baptisms.  It is also encouraging that the language is coming easier and he loves the people but the newness has worn off.

Fam,

What’s up. So today is the day that I wrote a tiny e-mail . Sorry about that, but hopefully this will make up for it a little.  The good stuff is that all the people are really friendly and the way the Gospel changes people. Remember Kevin, that kid I baptized who wanted to swim in the font? Ya when we started teaching him his mom didn’t want to listen to us. After Kevin’s baptism Flor (the mom) started listening and taking lessons. She really started to open up to us. Her mom said that she was changing a lot. After a couple lessons we found out they were moving. That day we asked her if she wanted to get baptized. She said yes. But first she has to get married or the Dad move out.

The family I baptized in my first week is still super sweet. The best meal I have had here was at their house. We are trying to plan a trip to the temple with them to do baptisms. We only have 2 families we are teaching and they both need to get married. We are also teaching another lady that needs to get married before baptism. We try to have 8 families progressing though. We are teaching a 16 year old boy named Luis that is way sweet. He is freaking smart. He also knows his bible so its way easy to teach him. We have the date for this Saturday the 4^th of February, but we don’t have permission from his parents yet. We have a meeting Tuesday with them. Cross your fingers, but this kids a stud he will get it from them. We’ll I’m out of room, but that’s pretty much all.

Love ya miss ya. Bye

Elder Fenn.

Sometimes it is just good to hear from him.

me gusta su español. ha ha but ya tell ej not to worry. it stunk when they only spoke spanish, but you learn faster that way. ya no worries, but put him into a language class if you can. what ever language. same with brietyn cause its easier for them to learn. and piano is sick. i can read music ha ha. elder richardson taught me how in like 30 seconds so with practice i can play a little. its funny and hard. top hand is easy but both is way hard. dont have time to practice anymore so probably will forget everything soon. i can buy a guitar how sick is that. but first i need to firgure out a way to get rid of some of my stuff so i can have it as a carry on.

no i am not cold here. it is summer and it is vary warm. no houses have a/c. it sucks i sleep above everything and wake up sweeting some times its awesome. ha ha. never had a drink with ice, but we buy drinks ice cold alot. i only sweat inside the peoples houses. its really not that bad. other than that. i like the temperature, but its way polluted hear so i don´t like the ¨weather¨. the sky is never blue and you can never really see the sun, or the stars. ha ha i miss looking at the stars.

transfers are every 6 weeks but trainning is for 12 so i have one more transfer minimum here i think. but they say that president blunck tries to get the missionarys into the jungle fast beacuse it is easier to learn spanish there.

as for families we are teaching we have one really sweet family. they always send their son to church, well the past two weeks, as they have work. they seem really interested in the gosple and they are way friendly, but we have to get them married before we can baptise them. i think we can get them. we met with one family yesterday that seems really cool, but it was only one meeting. one kid that is 16 has accepted to prepare for the 4th the only problem is permision for the parents. i dont know if that will be hard thing or not. he is way smart and knows the bible better than i know the book of morman, or any scripture. its way tight teaching him cause he teaches himself. my comp just throws scriptures at him for him to read every once and a while to help him learn.

 

 i got the stats for total nfl while i was in the ccm so i was wondering. is the superbowl this sunday. oh i miss bbq sauce ha ha. they have it here i guess i just havent gone to the store.

sorry about my spelling. i think it has gotten alot worse. ive been writing people and sounding english out in spanish. mixing up letters and everything its way funny. out of time

well thats all for this week folks

untill next time peace.

Elder Fenn had a great week!

On Monday, Wendy took the chance to get on the email and ask if Masen was there, to her suprise Elder Fenn sent back that he was and she was able to talk to him via email messages.  As she said, "it made it feel like he wasn't so far away.

The problem with that is he doesn't have the time to write a letter for the most part but it was more a question and answer session.  He wants to hear more about what the family is doing so it is nice to fill him in on the home front. 

His spirit is soaring and and you can fill it.  As a parent it is amazing to hear his stories and fill the love of Father in Heaven working His miracles through him.

He was able to write a short letter so here it is:

alright so i think i am finaly getting into the hang of things cause this week was kinda like ya whatever, or maybe because this was the first week we didn´t have a baptism. ha ha. but we still kinda did. there are 4 missionarys in our ward. and the area that the zone is in is divided into 2. the other missionarys had a kid that wanted to get baptised. my companion is the district leader and in the interview he asked who would be baptizing him. he said he wanted my companion to do it. so we had to pretty much do all the work on saterday to get things ready. so it was our baptism ha ha ha. but ya. sunday was way good because we got 3 investigators to show up to church. that was way cool. one of them we were not expecting at all. the night before we gave a lesson to an investigator in a members house. she then said that there was a family she wanted us to talk to. she pointed to some people in the street like 2 houses down. we were running late and had to get back to the house cause it was past 9. so we talked to the family for like 1 minute and only invited them to attend. the next morning the family was walking to church and passed by the house. the dad told the oldest girl to wait for his son so he could go with. and they both came. so that was a sick story. havent had a meeting with them yet so we will see how things go with that family.

thats probably the coolest thing this week. other than that life is pretty boring here. the food is all the same, but for some reason they give it different names. to me its chicken and rice, and potatos, ALWAYS. oh ya boring meaning we do the same things over and over and over. but its fun, only cause the lord blesses us with happines. thats the only reason i can think of.

well love you all, almost out of time again. the shortest hour of my life is emailing right now. never seems like enough time.

take care now bye

ha ha

Love

Elder

Fenn

Success again and fun too.

 It is good to see Masen having fun.  Kevin wanted to swim in the baptismal water, he had to carry him out! ha ha

 It says, Welcome everyone to the baptism of Kevin Chancha Torrico.

 Hang em out to dry the work is done!

 you learn to eat it. 

Masen doesn't like fish....

Name of companion and those he has baptized

Got a couple of good letters from Masen this week.  It is the high light of the week as we can't wait to check the email for one of his messages.  The language is still a work in progress for him but things look good for he and his companion.  Masen had the opportunity to have another baptism and that makes two he has gone in the water with.  The pictures we will post as soon as we can figure out the format of how he is sending the pictures.

Comps name Elder Cisnado. de Nicaragua

Family Huamani

The Girl i baptised Maria Cristina Huamani Chahua

this weeks baptism- Kevin Chancha (chancho is pig in spanish ha ha)Torrico

ya i think. i can understand a lot, almost everything i feel like.

food is completely different. fresh juice-nectar every meal, not always good. rice for every meal and usually pollo every meal. every meal has different names, but they all taste the same. and they serve mountains of food. i hate it. i feel way sick after every lunch, sometimes that's my only meal of the day because it fills me up so much. i don't know where they get all the food, they are poor down here, but i think i am in a middle class town.  there is garbage everywhere. the people pee wherever they fill like, smells always. the only good part is that the people are humble and friendly. oh ya and the closest American food is McDonald's and that's 30 min away one way. chilies is like 1.30 maybe. its close to the mission home.

these pictures are this Saturdays baptism. ha ha that was crazy. the kid wanted to swim in the water after. i had to carry him out. it was funny. the grandma is the recent convert.

 

language is going pretty good i think. i feel like i can understand everything like i said before, but speaking is a different story. conjugating and everything stinks. but it gets better everyday. elder Cisnado says that i will be a latin in 3 months ha ha ha. we will see. they all say that i speak clear when i talk and everyone is complimenting me, but i think that they are all liars, or i fake it really well ha ha ha. 

 

for the pigs head, i did eat some. i dont know where and i dont want to know, but i had some of the head and other parts. it was not bad, just tasted like plane pork. the head was a softer meat and ya i dont know. kinda like pure fat but different. the food is not bad, it just all tastes the same. rice with chicken, and sometimes mashed potatos, but alway potatoes on your plate. the one food i like is lomo saltado. its pretty good. the Peruvian resturant might have it i dont know. no mexican food here though. i think i miss that the most. . . . .ha ha

 

well love ya. i am running out of time. all is still good here. we have some way sweet investigators that i think will get baptised with a few more discussions. and one door contact yesterday that i think will commit pretty quick. so we will see. and ya sorry about your mission. i have dunked as many as you have already. ha ha ha its crazy work down here, but i need to work harder, mainly in spanish.

 

love you

 

Elder Fenn
