Well this was a really good week for us here in Jorge Chavez. I got a new companion and his name is Elder Soto, he is from Honduras and has been serving as personal secretary to the President for the past 7 months so he is pretty excited to actually get out and work, which is a big relief to me haha. He also speaks fluent English. It's nice to have someone that actually wants to get out and work. We had a really good week and worked hard. We were supposed to have quite a few people come to church but only one ended up coming. I had to talk in church and when I woke up yesterday I just felt like crap. I had a headache and my stomach hurt and I was light headed and everything but I still went up and gave my talk. After Sacrament everyone was asking me if I was okay because I looked pale and sick and we ended up having to go to our room during Sunday School so that I could eat something and rest. I was still feeling pretty sick but we still ended up working in the afternoon and during the afternoon I started feeling better. The members here are awesome and every person we visited was making me a soup or something to drink to help me feel better haha. This week Elder Evans from the 70 is coming to our mission to talk to us on Saturday so we are pretty pumped for that. Well that's pretty much it. Love you guys!

October 13, 2014 Well this was an okay week for us. We had tons of lessons fall through and couldn't really find anyone to teach but we worked hard so we aren't too sad about it. On Wednesday we started an activity in our ward to be able to find more investigators. We figured that since everyone here loves to play soccer that that would be the best way to try and find new investigators. So we started an activity where members can make their own soccer team of less actives and investigators and we are doing a giant soccer tournament. On Wednesday there were tons of people that came and we all had a good time. I finally got to watch conference this week haha. And we had to work hard just to be able to see it haha. When we went to the stake center on Saturday morning there was nobody there except for the missionaries. We ended up going to a different stake center to watch it and missed like the first 15 minutes. But I loved conference. I don't know why but ever since I started my mission conference has been like Christmas for me haha. I like how they talked a lot about the importance of having a testimony and they also made me realize that just having a testimony isn't everything but that we need to constantly strive to strengthen it. My favorite talk was Richard G. Scotts. Today we went and played soccer and basketball with a ton of other missionaries and it has definitely been nice to play basketball these last two weeks haha. Now we just need to see how we can work lacrosse into the schedule as well. Love you guys.

October 1, 2014 This week was a lot better as far as finding new investigators goes. on Tuesday morning our lessons fell through and we were walking down the street and I saw a guy sitting outside of his house reading the newspaper and something told me we should go talk to him. At first I just kind of ignored it and figured he would be like the rest of the people that don't want to talk to us but I felt that we should go talk to him so we did. He ended up being really interested and we were able to answer tons of questions that he had. I love letting the spirit guide us to the people that are ready. The elections were yesterday and that's why I couldn't watch conference. When they have elections the entire weekend is something called "ley seca" which means basically that there are no laws. The only law is that nobody can sell alcohol. So that was pretty crazy hahaha. Today we went and played basketball at the church with a bunch of the elders from the zone and President Rowley even came to play with us. It was freaking hot and I am drained haha. I wish the churches here had indoor courts like at home haha. love you guys.
