found my package and all the candy is gone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . to my stomach. and freak. I need a new debit card. Don’t know where it went.

I’m in the same zone. Zona Tahuantinsuyo, but I’m in another area. where I was at before was called Antisuyo (the area) where I’m at now is called Tahuantinsuyo. ja ja I’m in area tahuantinsuyo in the zone called tahuantinsuyo. and my ward is called Tahuantinsuyo. ha ha ha ha ha. so I’m not working directly with anybody from antisuyo, but I have to find the papers and everything for them that are going to get married, and I get to see them when we have interviews. 

So this week in the life of a zone leader. 

ah freak. we had a baptisim this week with a hombre mayor. his name is LEO. everybody calls him loco leo. ha ha but he is pretty cool. for a peruvian he is really tall. he is taller than me, which isnt hard to beat, but i havent seen very many people down here that are taller than me unless they are white. usually they are about my size. but the baptism was really really sweet. Elder Crump baptised him. ha ha ya remember elder crump from the mtc. turns out that im working where he worked. he was d/l and had two wards, contisuyo and tahuantinsuyo. we are only working in tahuantinsuyo right now. there are two other missionarys in contisuyo, but long story short i had a baptism with crump. it was pretty sweet. now we are going to send the pictures to his cousin collins that is in iquitos. ah ha ha. but it was pretty cool. i guess that leo has been listing to misionarys for a while, but his time finaly came, and i got to see it. 

what else happened this week. . . . . not really anything. it kinda was a crappy week. if we didint have the baptism it would have been crappy, but cant cry about a baptism. we knocked doors all week and everyone said that they were busy, but we could come back. when we went back they werent there, but we found 1 family that seems like they are pretty cool. the mom is 18 has a 2 year old daughter and is a member. went inactive for reasons prety hard to find, not, but she was pretty cool she said that she wants to come back to the church, and that she wants her baby to be raised in the church. her husband has never had anything to do with any religion, and is going to be a tough egg to crack, but when he feels the spirit it will be easy. he said that we could visit whenever wich doesnt happen much, so i think that that will be a good baptism. 

oh ya in the package you sent the fettuccini mixes!! they were delicioso. it was funny because we have a member that always helps us (harold) and we didnt have lunch one day so we told him to let us cook the fettuccine. he said ya, so we went to his house (first time i´ve been there) and i started to cook. i knew that it wouldnt make that much, but for the 3 of us i thought it would be enough, but in the middle of cooking it his aunt showed up and he told us that it was her house. so  i was like crap we have to give her some because its her house and her kids were there and i was using the kitchen, but we didnt have enough, so i was like crap. . . . well lets just make some more. i got on his computer and looked up the recipies. i didnt find anything that work, but harold had already started to cook more noodles so i was like well lets go experiement. hahahahah took what we had from the recipies and i started to cook. all the recipies called for heavy cream. didnt have that, but i remembered that you use milk and flower. so i used that instead. at first it wasnt working, but little by little adding other stuff that i thought would be good i turned out to tast pretty good. everybody liked it so i was kinda happy that that turned out good, but i still want the recipie exactly how i should do it. 

well that all that happened this week. 

hope all is good back home.

love you all very very much.

got to go.

Elder Fenn has had some big changes over the last couple months.

Ya so you will not believe what happened to me this week. so you know how good my area WAS. the ward WAS the best ward that i have ever seen. the members helped us out so much. they gave us refrences, they helped us teach, and made me feel at home. i WAS having so much sucess there and just loving life. we had like 4 familias that were progressing which is unheard of. and all 4 should be baptized this month or next. Adriana’s dad said that he will get married next month and baptised. that one family and a priesthood holder. ah i was so happy with my area. BUT GUESS WHAT HAPPENED. everybody was saying bye to my comp, becuase he had 3 changes there, and I GOT THE CHANGE. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??? haha when i got to that area my comp told me that they didnt have investigators, and we only visited the recent converts the first day. we did work and were setting it up big for the next months, then they chang me. ah man what a mood killer for real. so the whole day i knew i had a change, but they dont tell us where we are going. after they tell us that we have changes we all go to a place to say bye to the missionaries that are leaving the zone, and hear their testimonies. well we had a lot of changes, but only two left the zone. Elder Vande (ZL), and supposedly elder montoya. I didnt have the chance to give my testimony. so that was a red flag, either Elder Castro (ZL) forgot about me, or i was staying in the zone. ya then i got to talk to crump (personal secretary to pres.) and asked him. he told me that i was staying in the zone and taking Elder Vandes´ spot. WHAT???????????? ya so now my comp is Elder Castro. he is from lima and has 2 months left in his mission. when he finishes he will be able to travel 2 hours to his house in bus. jajajajajajajajajajajajajjaja. but the worst part is that im ZONE LEADER. i didnt even have the chance to figure out all of district leader and now this. well caballero nada mas. ya that means like cowboy up ha haha.

 

ha ha the funny part is that now i get to go interview everyone that i taught. well not really cause castro has to do that, but i get to see them when they get interviewed. ha ha.

 

ya so about the sealing. WOW. that was actually really really cool. we went through the session with them, and that was pretty funny. ronald had the funniest look. he had no idea what was going down, but liz looked calmer, and more ready. then the sealling! that was nuts to see. i went with 3 other elders that served in nueva cajamacar before i did, and all of them helped someone through the temple. i forgot how its called, but acompanied them through. i didnt, but one was with ronald, one was with a future misionary, and one was with someone else that got sealed. so that was cool for them, but the best part is that i was a witness for Ronald and Liz. YA BUDDY. i felt powerful. after they got sealed the other family was sealed and the elder that helped him through the temple to take his endowments out was his witness. ah man the blessing that you get when you are sealed are crazy. i want those blessings, but to think that bree has already done that and that sarah is going to do it, and more of my friends is just way too too weird. but i hope i get to see at least one more family get sealed. that would be the best of the best.

hear are some pics. hope you like them.

 

love you all so so much.
