Hola,

It sounds like you have a lot of questions this week for me. To answer the first one, yes I like my new area. It seems that everyone we talk to accepts us. My planner is full until Saturday already and it is only Monday. Whoever we contact says we can come back and teach them. Everyone here is super humble and accepting. I think I might have to cut down some of the people to visit so we can visit people who will progress. That is the problem here. They are really accepting but don't keep the commitments to come to church and to read the scriptures.

I am not a 100 percent sure you found the right chapel. The Stake Center is on the Tupac. Mine is higher up buy a school. From the church, there are 2 hills. The one directly behind the church is the other companionship in my ward. My area is the hill next to that. It is higher up/deeper into the hills. I have no idea what streets I live on. I am pretty sure that the google earth truck couldn't drive up the hill anyway to take pictures where I live.

Yes, the bed bugs are dead. Our roof is kind of like the barns roof. It is like the sheet metal but is plastic. I think the bed bugs/fleas fall off the cats and then crawl between the overlaps of the sheeves. They then fall into the house. I would almost prefer to sleep under the stars. It wouldn't be so hot in the house if there was no roof. And actually, when I was in Mexico in July, it was winter here in Peru. It should start to cool down here for me in April and May.

I should have a couple baptisms coming up this Saturday. I just had to take over the teaching when I got here. It has been pretty easy to get them prepared to be baptized. I am really excited to baptize a man named Victor in April. I met him my first day in this area. He is the husband of a member. His wife made a joke about when we were going to teach him and he accepted instantly. He has accepted everything we have taught him, goes to church, and reads the scriptures. He is a golden investigator. We haven't ran into any problems yet that would impede him from getting baptized.}

The hedgehog looks pretty cute. I can't wait to find out if it tastes like guinne pig.

Love,

P.S. If you are going to send an Easter Package, I would like some nice leather work gloves. All the work gloves here are the fabric ones that don't do anything
