I haven't heard of the virus and don't need to wear my mosquito repellent because mosquitos don't exist here. It is one nice thing about living in a desert. The only things that live in Peru are humans, dogs, cats, pigeons, and flys. Nothing else.
It sounds like you all had a crazy busy week again. Kenzie had better get used to doing a lot of English homework since she has Mr. Fendrick. It is good your students like to read. I think you should read a Halloween book with them so they can experience something different. That is really cool how Kenzie gets to play so much in volleyball. And Kyle brought a girl down!No, they don't have slow cookers here. Everthing is fried in a stove or deep fried in the street.
This week was really cool. We had two baptisms yesterday. Loidi and Hugo. We had been teaching Loidi for a long time because she isn't very smart. We had to teach everthing at least 3 times. I actually baptized Loidi and a member baptized Hugo. I didn't feel that Hugo was quite ready but he passed the interviews, ( I think barely) so we baptized him. Since it is my companions last five weeks now, I feel he is more focused in numbers than he is in actually teaching the people. I am going to try and help him out with it but if you have any advice that would be great.
I did another work visit this week with my District Leader. This time we did it in my area. I had to know where everthing was and lead him around. I was amazed I did as well as I did. I still get a little lost in my area sometimes but I know where I am at, just not where a certain house is. My DL's companion is finishing his mission in five weeks, like mine, so sometimes we just need a little break from the trunkiness and will do a work visit. I don't mind, I need the breaks, too.
We did practices in our zone on Saturday, and my companion decided to test me and didn't say a word. I was amazed how much I actually knew and was able to teach the whole lesson. My ZL had watched the whole thing and I felt really good when he came up afterwards with a huge smile on his face and gave me some compliments.
We had changes this week. We got a new ZL. He is Peruano. I am now the only gringo in Año Nuevo. Another missionary is now training a new missionary. I am finally not the youngest missionary in the zone.
I have asked some missionaries for the information of the lady who comes to Peru and delivers packages. I will tell you it when I get it. I heard that she is probably the safest way to get a package to Peru because it is guarenteed to not get stuck in customs. For my birthday, Maybe just more CD's (EFY music or Vocal Point, and one with Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,), Ensigns in English, and Candy. Reeses FastBreaks and KitKats.
Thankyou for all your support. I love all of you,
Elder Karter Isaacson
I hope these pictures send. They are of the people we baptized. Hugo is a little strange so he put his head on me for the picture. Don't ask me why. He can't remember my name so I am just the Gringo.
