New room...again

Well this last week not too much happened. Last P-day Elder Burley, Monzon, Martinez and I went to Rodizio's which is pretty much an American buffet in Peru. We got permission to go to La Molina and we went and pigged, out holy cow. That was the most food I have ever eaten in my life. When you have to eat flippin rice, chicken, and potatoes everyday, and then you eat some real American meat, you can't help yourself. We all had to wait 30 minutes after we ate to leave because it would hurt if we tried to move.  Even the day after, my stomach kind of hurt from eating so much, haha. 

After Rodizio's.

Yesterday we were able to get Jhair confirmed so that was great. 

So what was gonna happen was Elder Monzon and I were going to move rooms to Amauta because it took us 20 minutes everyday to walk to our area. Our room we were currently living in, a single mom was going to move in so the ZLs had to move so we found a room that was in the ZLs area and that is right next to our area. Our old room was quack anyways and our new room we have is amazing. We learned from our mistakes from changing rooms last time and we got all of our stuff ready in the mornings and nights after contacting. Today in the morning we got a huge truck over to our old room, our district to help us, and we changed rooms in two hours. It was insanely fast how we were able to move and change rooms, holy cow haha. 

On Saturday we a CCM attack and so we got to help the new missionaries out and Hermano Soto was there! It was super cool to see him again and everything. There were a ton of Elders from Utah that were there and I saw two kids that I played football and basketball against, haha. I got to take Elder Blood contacting haha; what a freakin cool name. 

Hermano Soto and Elder Woolf.

So we contacted  this Old Peruvian man and we were talking with him and he told us this story about how he was lifting something super heavy and it ripped the tip of his finger off. The thing was was, he didn't get his finger taken care of and he showed us his finger and all of his fingertip was just gone and you could see his bone. The skin around his bone was super dry but it was blood red. It was pretty cool to see. 


Well the miracle of the week was last night one of our appointments fell through and we were going to go contacting up this hill and then this kid named Guillermo popped into my head. Guillermo was an investigator of the Elders in Amauta before us and Elder Garbett told me that he was really smart and wanted to know about the church but didn't really want to change or get baptized. Anyways he popped into my head and we called him and went and visited him and taught him and we have a date for him now for the 27th of October! so that was pretty flippin sweet! Well I love everyone.
