Elder Logan Chapman

Chulucanas

Well another week down and I have been out six months. I cant believe how fast time flies. Seems like just a month ago I was saying goodbye to everyone. Anyway this week was pretty good for me. I don't remember what day it was but I finished the Book of Mormon for the first time in Spanish. Now I need to do it again because when I started I couldn't understand anything haha. The people down here have a hard time pronouncing Chapman so I have like a nickname haha. There is a chocolate candy thing down here called Chocman so they all call me Chocman haha also we taught the Jehovah's witness again this week and he always seems to get pretty heated when we prove him wrong with his own bible. We are all calm and he starts yelling and stuff, but the good thing is is that we have gotten a hold of one of their bibles and one of their little books they use to study haha. Last Monday we were walking down the road and we heard someone yell "elders" we turned around and there was a gringo walking towards us. He is from Georgia but he told me he used to live in Syracuse. His name is Brian Samples and he is a chiropractor and is starting a practice down here in Chulucanas. A few weeks ago an Israelite came to our church to listen. He was wearing a tunic and had long hair and a beard and everything. Well we started teaching him and we have set a date for him to be baptized the 22 of March. We celebrated my 6 months by burning a tie with the people we live with. They are awesome and always give us dinner and sometimes breakfast too. Well that's all for this week. Love you guys.

I hope he washed his hands and clothes!

Well this week was pretty good and really busy for us. On Tuesday we had intercambios and I went to Morropón for the day with Elder Vasquez. It was pretty boring because the branch president there needed our help so we just sat on the computer putting in forms all day getting ready for some big conference with the stake president and he never even showed up haha. So last Monday I went to send you guys the pictures of me burning my tie for six months and it wouldn't let me do anything. turns out there was a virus on the computer and they all got deleted haha. So I was pretty mad about that because I lost a bunch of pictures. But I still have quite a bit plus all the ones I have sent you guys. On Wednesday night I wanted to pray for something more specific so I asked for more opportunities to use my priesthood and when we woke up Thursday morning the girl that lives below us wanted us to give her little boy a blessing and we gave another blessing later that day. It was awesome to see and feel that God really does answer our prayers. On Friday we had interviews with President Rowley and it was great to get to sit down and talk to him and receive council and advice from him. Today we went to Piura because my companion had to buy a bag because we cant use backpacks anymore and then we ate Pizza Hut after haha. Love you guys.
