Well it was an awesome week. Last Saturday we had the baptismal service of Johan Negron, and it was amazing. You could feel the spirit so strong, it was an amazing experience. 
His whole family was there too, and I know they felt the spirit. We have been working hard with his mom and his brother, and Johan is setting an awesome example for them. He is so awesome, he is signing up for institute classes, and just couldn´t be happier. That’s what is crazy about this area, it is like a richer area of Peru. Everyone has there own cars, and all of the streets have big huge gates that you are guarded and everything. Its really weird being in a rich area after all of my mission being in province where they didn’t have money. In my other areas you could knock on a door and about 75% of the time have a ne
w investigator, and here is a little different. When they have money they don’t listen as well, and I was really surprised when we have had a few doors slammed in our faces. They are a little more ‘duro’ hard to get to in this area. The awesome thing is we have Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and Dominos, and it tastes just like good old American Pizza. Oh man I’m loving it. Our pensionista is amazing too. She made tacos the other day, and I haven’t had those since I left home. We also made French toast this morning, just like last Saturday, and it was amazing. I’m not going to lie I’ve put on like 8 pounds!! I decided I had better start eating a little less since I’m not working out as much as I used to Elder Myler loves going running in the morning though so we are putting in some good runs. We have a block we run around that is just over a quarter mile, and I’m getting down to about 5:40 miles for 2 ½ miles. I’m moving up to a 5k each day next week too. It feels so good to be getting some good runs in, and still doing the good old push-ups and sit-ups too. So I’m still staying in pretty good shape.
The office this week was crazy. I got my new companion Elder Mera this week. We were in a threesome for the past couple of weeks, but now I have my new companion. He is secretary of registros, and he is awesome. He had some problems with health, so I have to keep a pretty close eye on him, and we can’t walk very fast, but things are going good. So I moved to his area, and its just like starting from 0. We are looking for new investigators like crazy, and its going to really help to get to know the members of the ward too. Its rough even after just a month leaving Santa Patricia, it’s a great ward. They say the new ward I am in is great too though. My trainer Elder Goede is leaving next Wednesday, and then its all me in the finance office. I feel ready though, and President has really put a lot of trust in me. The end of this month is going to be crazy though, with having to pay all of the missionaries during changes. Its going to be a good time though. Everything is just going great, and I’m loving the work.
Its great to hear how well everything is going at home too. Always love hearing the success everyone is having. Spencer won the keys to success car too, that is awesome, and you guys need to congratulate Toby on his mission call too. Colombus, Ohio, that is awesome. Keep up the good work, and I’m always praying for you all. Talk to you later!! Chow!
Love, Elder Lee
