A TUFF WEEK!!!

\HOLA MI ESTIMADA FAMILIA  Y SORPRENDENTES AMIGOS!!!!!!!!

Well here I am in HUANCAYO!!! Holy Smokes it actually happened I got TRANSFERRED!   I was very excited, haha and I had no idea what was in for me!!! So I am training a new missionary again, I’m opening up the area and I have been called as District Leader!!! AHHHHHHHH… HELP!!!  So I get here and my area is called La Florida, it is GIGANTIC!!! And well the missionaries before me, they both have like 22 months in their mission and left me with absolutely nothing!!! We got to our room and it was so disgusting.  The First night we cleaned for about 3 hours, to make our room at least livable…  But now I have got to tell you about how HARD it was to leave Huanuco, Hermana Genoveva, My comp and my ward.  Tuesday night after we heard the changes, I immediately went to talk to my pensionista and her fam.  I went and she wasn’t there!!! So Wednesday morning after being up until 4 in the morning packing and writing in people’s memory notebooks, I went to eat in the house of Hermana Genoveva for the last time.  Well actually I was running really late (no surprise there) so I just went to say bye, I got there and she said breakfast was already ready.  How could I say no to that… so I sat down and it just hit me like a ton of bricks that I wouldnt be returning to eat with here until who knows when…??  She started to bawl, my comp too and of course  me…!!!  After almost 6 months of just being with her 3 times every day, talking laughing and all that it just hit me and the tears came storming out…  I won’t lie it really was almost like I was leaving my family again.  We took some pictures and we all left bawling…  MY first night here, I was just distraught.  My area is huge, my knew comp is a Chileno again, but he isn’t like Elder Encina, who was the best companion I have had yet in Peru.  I just knelt down so overwhelmed and slightly scared of failing and I didn’t have any idea how to open and area with a new missionary, I really was just freaking out.  I wont lie just typing this out is making me cry…  I miss hna genoveva, my comp, luis and ines and all of the wonderful people in the ward so much!! It was like I left my family again.  Just like that, 6 months flew by and now I have no idea when I will get to see them again.  Then I get here in Huancayo, with absolutely nothing, not one investigator, nothing in the area book, I didn’t know a single soul, my pension is great, but she isn’t  Hna Genoveva.  Huancayo, is nothing like Huanuco.  Its so much bigger and world like… There are actually cars here and big buildings, and paved roads… in the morning and in the night it is FREEZING, and in the afternoon, the sun just burns cause we are so high up! Almost 14,000 feet!!! I Think… So I just had no idea what to do.  SO ya know what I did?   I just started over, and started from square 1… CONTACTING,  and contacting isn’t the most rewarding or easiest work.  But it sure paid off.  After being here for only 4 days, we had 13 new investigators and 4 attended church!!! BOOM! Just like that!  I was walking down the street at night after contacting all day and finally we found a member to show us the area.  SO usually when your with a member you don’t street contact, but we were walking down the street and I saw a little family that reminded me of Luis and Ines, a young couple and their little boy.  I just saw em there I kinda stopped but kept walking and something hit me, that they were just like luis and ines, so I backtracked and contacted them.  Their names are Miguel and Rosario… and we had like a 10 minute lesson with them the next day, they accepted a baptismal date and a date to get married!!! WHAT!!! That never happens in a little 10 minute lesson, but the spirit was strong!!! And they attended church Sunday.  To say the least my area here is ready!!! There hasn’t been much success here in a while but we are here to change that!  Also I had to do my fist baptismal interviews yesterday since I am the district leader AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I was soosososososo Scared! But the spirit was unbelievably strong and guiding me!  I interviewed a man and his daughter and the man… well he didn’t pass!!! AHHH!!! He and his wife had an abortion a while ago, so he has to talk to a counselor in the mission presidency… I was like Oh CRAP when I heard that! But the Spirit acted quickly, I wasn’t speaking, it was all the spirit, I could see he really had repented of it all and felt really bad.  But rules are rules, he will have another interview this week, and I still think he will get baptized.  His daughter passed though!!! SO to say the least it has been a tuff week!!!!  So, I will need a lot of letters and encouragement this month!!! I missed the fam a lot this week, I hope all is well, when is youth conference and EFY???

Okay, dad, I need some help here since you have already done your mission.  I would like to hear how your mission blessed your life??  I just need to hear some serious stuff about serving your mission and how it has impacted your life!!  I just need some serious help from EVERYONE!!!!!!!  Please pray a lot for me because I am really overwhelmed and could just use some extra help here!!!!! Don’t worry I’m not failing or thinking of bagging it, I would never ever do that; I just need to be able to do this assignment in Huancayo!  So please say some extra prayers for me this week!!!

LOOVEEE YOU ALLL SOSOSOS MUCH!!!
