Carapongo!

Well this past week flew by, holy cow. Last Tuesday I finished my 12 week training so that was dope. I am pretty sure everyone enjoyed conference. It was pretty great. Elder Holland, Elder Anderson, President Nelson, President Oaks, and a lot of other general authorities brought the fire to conference, haha; they just said it how it is. This weekend was elections in Peru so no one could go to church so we just watched conference in the chapel by ourselves. Elder Burley and I watched conference in another room in English so that was good to hear some stuff in English. I really enjoyed President Nelson's talk. If you haven't watched conference yet go freakin watch it! 

This weekend kind of sucked too. We lost Brayan and Guillermo. It was weird because they were both progressing so well and they both had really good desires to be baptized. On Sunday we were going to pick the both of them up to go to conference so that it could count as an attendance. We got to Guillermo's house and we were a bit late because of the traffic but I had called him 4 times but he hadn't answered. He asked us why we were late and we told him because of the traffic but that we had also called him 4 times but he didn't answer. He said he hadn't gotten any calls but who knows. He said that he couldn't go watch conference because he had to work for his brother. 

The same kind of thing happened with Brayan. We called him in the morning but he said he was still coming back from work and we asked if he could watch the second session and he said yeah of course. So we called him after the first session to go pick him up but he said he was still coming back from work and that he was super tired and he needed to go rest. I told him it was only two hours and that he could go rest after, and I asked if he even wanted to watch conference and he said no, so we invited him to church the next week. If Guillermo and Brayan both come to church next week we'll probably start teaching them again but as of right now we dropped them because they aren't showing us they really want to change. That was pretty sad to lose them for now. 

The exciting is... transfers are on Tuesday and I am going to Carapongo Campóy to finish the training of Elder Pierce! I am going to train a white person! Lol, president told me that I can only speak Spanish to him so I'll do my best with that. Apparently the Zone Campoy is only dust or polvo so that's going to be fun and it's really starting to heat up down here so things are starting to get real interesting. 

Elder Burley is going to be a zone leader in Chosica and Elder Martinez and Elder Monzon are staying and Elder Monzon is a district leader.  Well I flippin forgot my converter again so I'll send more photos next week.

Love, Elder Shockley
