So this week was alright, and it turns out I did NOT get transferred in this change! Looks like I get 1 more change in Juli with Elder Bordon!
Bad news. I dont have my camera at the moment, but if Elder Powell sends me a picture that he took today i will be able to send 1.
So mom, I will try to do that this week, I will write in my journal a little something and send it!
This week we didn't have much success in contacting, we need to get better at that, it can just be SOOO boring. But we did find a few new investigators, and went to Puno for the zone meeting. Was cool!
The mission is going to have a "white night", all the mission is going to try to get a baptism on like May 27. The last day before the change ends. The WHOLE MISSION! And I think our zone is going to be having them all in Juli! In Juli Beach! We have a little beach with Lake Titicaca we are going to do it!
Sorry for short note and no pics -- will try and do better.
Love ya.

Voting Day in Peru
So this week was alright.
Sunday was probably the most boring day of my life -- since it was election day in Peru and it was against the law to basically hold any sort of meeting. So we couldn't go to church and couldn't teach any lessons! We did a tad of studying and slept lol.
Here is a video showing how bored I was! :)
We just worked "normally"this week (before elections) and it was actually sort of a dull week. Had 4 lessons with recent converts, 4 with less actives and only 1 new investigator. Changes are already next week, came SUPER fast.
P-day today was nothing special. Didn't have district meeting because we have zone meeting in Puno this Friday. We literally just have been relaxing today, went out to eat and came here lol!
My landlord has a cute little dog (not as great as Kobe of course) and it likes to spend time with us!
Landlord daughters thought I looked like the Joker from Batman -- so they got a little crazy with makeup!
I gotta go already, love you guys tons! Have a good week! Next week Ill know about changes!

General Conference in Juli Peru
So this was a good week.
Only rough part for me was the conference was in Spanish :P. Definitely not the same for me. Although I understand it, is just very different.
We watched conference in the Juli branch building, in the morning session we had about 50 people there. Sadly in the afternoon session we had 4 people. My companion and I and other 2 elders.....So that was interesting.....
The other two elders that came were from Ilave. Apparently their branch president didn't want to open the church or something so he just ordered everyone to go to to Juli to watch it!
Also we didn't get to watch the priesthood session yet. We went to the church when our ward mission leader was "going to open the church" and he didn't come (and turned of his cell phone), so that was cool. But will have to download it and watch it later :P
So here is my 9 month bill!
Giant party here in Juli this week. Evidently for the anniversary / founding of the city. It woke me up at 6 in the morning with music and it lasted until about midnight that same day! Literally EVERYONE was urinating in the street......Men and women, boys and girls. So gross.
So this week was really really hard (work-wise) due to the parties, there was a TON of drunk people.
But this week we were able to find a new investigator who is a cousin of a member. He apparently already received all the lessons and wants to be baptized. All we gotta do is start teaching the lessons again and hopefully plan a date. I sure hope I stay here at least one more change to be able to be here for his baptism! I dont want another baptism missed because of changes like what happened in Cusco!
So this coming Sunday is elections here in Peru. What our leaders have told us is that we can't leave our houses really and can't be proselytizing. Evidently it is a crime to have church activities on this election day. So it is like a second p-day but on the sabbath day.....that is sorta cruddy lol. So we wont have church Sunday either :(
Gotta go! Will make videos!
love you guys!
