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
