Well this week...X's 4 Mom's been slacking!

September 29, 2014 Well this was an alright week I guess. We have been trying to find new investigators and haven't had very much luck. I don't really know whats going on. But we did teach 17 less actives so i guess that's pretty good. Sylvia ended up not getting baptized because of the problems with the ward boundaries so that sucked but at least she will end up getting baptized in the other ward so that's good. I'm a little fired up that I wont get to watch conference this weekend and will have to wait a whole nother week. So don't tell me anything about conference when you write me next week haha. The other day we went and played soccer in the morning with all the other elders and a few kids that were like 12 came. When I picked my team I picked all the little kids and everyone laughed at us. We won 9-5 against all the elders haha. I guess being humble beats talent any day. At least that's what I learned. Well that's all for this week. Love you guys! September 22, 2014 Well this was a pretty good week for us here. We have been focusing a lot on contacting families in the street so that we can baptize more families and it has been going pretty good for us so far. We have found a few new families that are pretty interested. We are supposed to have a baptism this week but we will see how it turns out. It is of the lady that I told you guys about last week that is sick. Apparently there are some problems with the ward boundaries and the other ward is saying that she lives in their boundaries but we printed off maps and everything and showed them but they don't want us to baptize her in our ward. So i guess we will see how that works out. I'm a little mad because the elections in Peru are the first weekend in October and the whole country isn't allowed to have public gatherings the whole weekend. So that means we will be watching General Conference a week late. I a little fired up about that. But i`ll get over it haha. Just don't tell me anything about conference until I get the chance to watch it. That's pretty much it for this week. Love you guys! September 15, 2014 Well this week was a pretty good week for me and my companion Elder Martinez. The first week with a new companion always seems to drag on a little bit because you are trying to get used to each other and everything but we have had a pretty good week and get along great. In our mission we are really focusing on looking for families to teach so we have been trying to find new families and this week we found a few really good families. One of them has 7 kids! Haha I thought huge families only existed in Utah but I guess not. The biggest one I have heard of so far is a family with 18 kids haha. Anyway this week on Thursday we were walking to ward council and a member saw us in the street and ran over to us and she started talking to us about a lady who is really sick and that wants to be baptized. Turns out that all of her kids are members and she has been listening to the missionaries for quite a while now. She was going to be baptized before but she got sick and had to move to one of her kids house. Then she was going to be baptized again and got sick again. So now we are teaching her and her baptism is planned for the 27th of September. Her name is Sylvia. So pray that she will be okay and that everything will work out. We have been playing a lot of soccer lately and the other day we lost 8-7. But the funny thing is that I was the one who scored all 7 goals hahaha. I don't know why I didn't like soccer before (neither does his dad...but he HATED it!). Well that's pretty much it for this week. Love you guys! September 8, 2014 Well this week started out pretty rough for me but it was a really good week (I guess this is Logan trying to make it sound good! Positive attitude!!!). It all started on Monday when our next door neighbors decided to throw a party. In Peru when they have parties it just means loud music and drinking. So when our neighbor told us he was going to have a party and that it was going to be loud, I knew it was going to be a long night (Logan likes his peace and quiet at night...I'm sure this was another trial in learning patience!). Our wall is pretty much just a piece of plywood and they had the speakers right next to our wall. So I pretty much just memorized every song they played haha. At 11:30 I finally just got out of bed and started reading my scriptures. The next thing I knew it was 2:30 in the morning and I was still reading. I decided to just go lay in my bed until they stopped and it finally stopped at 3:30 in the morning. But that really helped me out on my goal to read the Book of Mormon in under two weeks. Which I finished Saturday night. It was an awesome two weeks to just be buried in the Book of Mormon and I learned a lot and strengthened my testimony of it. I know its true. Me and my companion worked really hard to find new investigators and we finally started finding people this week. Other than that there wasn't a whole lot that happened. Today are transfers and my companion got transferred to Zarumilla and I stayed here in Jorge Chavez. My new companion is Elder Martinez and he is from Columbia but has lived in Peru for the past two years. Love you guys.
