Hey everyone, sounds like things are going well. These weeks are going by so fast. It is hard to believe that I am heading out in 2 and a half weeks. Well I got my new companion. His name is Elder Garcia, and he is from a northern part of Lima. He is awesome already. We have practiced teaching twice, and both of the lessons went really well. Its great. I have really lucked out with companions.
Well I think the craziest thing that happened this week was I got called to be a zone leader! Crazy huh. Well the calling is going well so far I had to plan out sacrament meeting sunday, and it went really well. I was a little worried at first, but I kind of like having a leadership position. Elder Myler and I are the zone leaders, and we are in charge of 5 other districts. It is pretty awesome.
Well we went out prosyliting again on Saturday. This time we went to a more wealthy area right by the ocean and it was definitely different than last week. Everyone had intercoms, so we had to talk into those instead of talking to the person face to face. I definitely like having personal contact more. About 15 of the 20 places we had to visit did not live there anymore. The others we were able to talk with, but we didn't have any long lessons. I realized the importance of talking about the gospel to everyone you know. At times we were so focused on finding these people we didn't stop and make as many contacts on the street. I am going to change that next week. I am going to talk about the gospel to everyone I see. I think that I will feel better about it when I am in a harder area like that. It was a good experience though.
We got to teach 2 five minute lessons, and gave an inactive member a book of Mormon. We committed a lot of people to come to church. I don't know if they went, but I pray that they will.
Things really are still going great here. Yesterday we had turkey, rice, mashed potatoes, rolls, and chocolate cake. It tasted like thanksgiving dinner, it was so good! My favorite meal is still breakfast though. I love eating cereal, it is great. FĂștobol is still awesome. I don't think this group of latino´s is as good as the last one, but it is still fun. We had to go to immigration today to get peruvian id cards, so we didn't get to go to the temple. I'm sure we will get to go next tuesday though. Thanks for all your prayers, and I love the Dear Elders, they are great!
Mom thank you for always writing, I really love hearing everything that is going on at home. Dad I hope work is going well, and I am so glad you were able to rent the house out. Ha ha hopefully we can keep it! Allison sounds like you have a lot of homework, and school stuff. I definitely don't miss that! Steph I can't wait to hear more of what is going on in swimming and school. Andrew, how is cross country bro. Hope you are getting better. Jen keep up the good work in school and everything else your doing.
I'm going to attach some pictures of the last group. Elder Malara is the one with me in the red, and the others are other companions. Love you guys!
Elder Lee
