Hey everyone!  This week was pretty good!  Full of service as well.  Basically this whole week was service oriented for a lot of people.

First, we were looking for a house to move into and we found one.  We asked the owner if she needed help with anything so we helped here move a few things (brownie points).  But she is super nice and I hope we move into that house.  After that we helped our pension put a roof on her third floor.  Also the traditions here are really weird and stupid sometimes.  The stupid one I´m talking about is that when you hire someone to add another floor to your house, you have to buy them a box of beer so that ´´nothing happens´´.  I honestly think that´s just rediculous.

This week we have been looking for a lot of people and we also had a lot of appointments with new investigators, but a lot of them fell through.  It can be really dissapointing sometimes.  This week we are going to focus on visiting the members and the leaders so that we can strengthen

the ward first.

This last week we had a meeting with all the leaders of the zone and it was really good.  The sisters read their mission calls, but saying elder instead of sister, and it was really cool.  It basically reminded us of our purpose here as missionaries (INVITE others to come unto Christ... etc.) and it was really good to hear.  It really helped me remember why I am here in the mission and how much my perspective of the mission has changed over time.

Well, this coming week we will all be going to Cusco to hear Elder Holland which will be really good and cool experience!  I will be preparing myself this whole week to hear him speak!

I hope you all are doing well wherever you may be.  I love you all and thanks for all the support!
