Week 68

So we had transfers on Tuesday. We got to our room around 12 and Elder Fagg unpacked his stuff while I pulled all of the old stuff out of the room and cleaned everything and we moved it all around so that everything would fit better.  That was cool until Thursday when the lady that lives in our house told us that her husband died and that he left the house in his kids`names and they are kicking us out so looks like we cleaned and did all of that for nothing. We wrote down like a million phone numbers of people that are renting out rooms so we gotta call them and be moved out by the end of the month. 

So pretty much all the rest of the week was normal. It's really fun to be with Elder Fagg, I can actually make jokes that he understands and he can make some that I understand unlike with the Latinos, so that is fun. He has some dope stories of stuff that he did. I'm trying to convert him into an Aggie. His brother graduated from USU and lives in Logan and his sister is there right now too. Unfortunately, they are BYU fans for some reason...but that can be changed. 

We had interviews on Friday with president. They were good, he talked to both of us about the zone and about how things were going and out take on things and whatnot it was pretty cool. We also had a meeting with the stake president and a couple of the members of the high council on Sunday to talk about a plan president Palhua has. He is the man! let me just say that. He is going to write a letter to every member over the age of 10 in the whole stake and invite them to pray, choose a friend or family or family member, fast for that person, and then set up like a Family Home Evening and invite the missionaries and whatnot. And then he's asking them to do 25 kind acts during the 25 days of Christmas! So we should have a lot of baptisms in January after so much faith being exercised like that. 

We are enjoying things here in Saint Patricia. We have a couple of baptisms set up for the 25, Joyci is gonna get baptized for sure and then we are still on the edge with Flor and Monica. But we are having tons of lessons and teaching a lot of good people. 

Today for prep day, we didn't do much of anything. I got a haircut and we went to the office because I am buying a new suit and there is a member that works in Gamarra and makes suits and sells them for real cheap so I got one, its blue. I hope it turns out well. Afterwards, we went to the stake center and just watched some movies and ate burgers. We asked for permission to go to the gym in the mornings because there is one super close by. We are also thinking about going running in the mornings and we are trying to eat healthier so that is cool. 

Everything is going well. Never thought I would have a white comp but turns out president put 5 companionships of zone leaders with another American comp so that is cool. Speaking English again is pretty weird. But ya until next week. And here is a pic of Elder Fagg and me planning. I got the hat in Gamarra and idk what he is wearing.
