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
