Well my new area is in the La Merced zone, but it is called Pichanaki. It is about 73 km or about an hours drive from La Merced. Oh boy is it beautiful here though. I love the jungle, and finally have some heat, I'm loving it. My new companion is Elder Per, and he is awesome. He isn't bossy like Elder Lima was, and that is definitly a pleasant change. He is definitely a hard worker too, he and Elder Guttierez actually had two baptisms saturday. The baptisms are awesome here though, because there is no bapismal font so all of the baptisms are in the river!!! I can't wait to have a baptism to actually get to baptize in a river, it is like a dream!
We have an awesome branch here, and I have only been here for like 4 days but I am amazed at how much the members help. The last 2 days we had two people out prosyliting with us. Its hard enough to get one person to go with us, but these guys want to go out with us as much as they can. One of them is Luis Pastor. He is 28 years old, and was baptized last month. He went with us for like 5 hours, and he has such a strong testimony I wish he could go with us like every day. We also have two young men Hillrum and Jimmy that go with us. We have a goal for 5 baptisms next month, so we will be working hard to achieve.
Oh and my companion likes to run!!!! Finally I get to run, and it is so great. We get up at 6 every morning to run. Its awesome to because we woke up at 5:30 this morning to someone yelling Elderes! It was Jimmy ready to run with us. How awesome is that! I told him we run in the mornings and he wanted to go with us, but he came at 5:30 it was hilarious. Luis Pastor also wants to run with us, he was in the military for 2 years so he really likes working out. So we get along really well :) We're just going to start a little running club or something, ha ha it is great! Our pensionista is amazing too. We have had pancakes for dinner for the past three nights with different things. How great it is to have pancakes again, and these pancakes are as close to mom's pancakes as anyone has gotten. Nobody is near as good though! That is one thing I look forward to when I get home.
I absolutely love this area, and I wouldn't mind spending like a year here, that is how awesome it is. We also live with two other missionaries too, Elder Smith and Elder Guttierez. They split Pichanaki in the middle so we each have one half. We have so great investigators so hopefully soon I will be telling you about some baptisms.
Everything seems to be going well at home. I hope everything is going ok with Tim, I will be praying for him. Hope everyone is doing well at home too, its great to hear Allison got a raise, and I hope she gets to go to Nevada for the dig. Keep up all the good work, I'm always praying for you guys. Thanks for being such an amazing family! The church is true, and how great it is to know we will be together forever. Love you guys!
Elder Lee
