New Area

Well transfers went good last week! I am in my new area, El Valle, in the Zone of Campoy. There is a lot of dirt in Campoy, surprise, haha not. My new area is a quite a bit smaller than Santa Clara was but it is super populated.  In Santa Clara there were 800 members with 200 that attended and it was a pretty big area. Here there are 1062 members with 200 that attend and it is a bit smaller so that just shows how densely populated my new area is.

We had 2 new areas that were opening in the Zone but the day after transfers they both got shut down because the new missionaries that were in the areas were just here in Peru waiting for their visas to come. 

Right now we are teaching 4 people. Alex Huanaco is a separated dad who lives by himself in his mechanic shop. He has problems with smoking so please pray for him that he can have the strength to overcome his problems. We are also teaching a family of 5: Diego 10, Dayana 13, Marcos 17, and Porfirio and his wife Amerita. The parents aren't married and they don't really want to get married for now so we are just working with the kids. They have all come to church twice and they are doing good. Just pray for their parents that the Lord can touch their hearts so that the kids can get baptized and in the future that they can get married.

The New Zone is only 12 missionaries which just feels so weird coming from a zone of 20 Elders. It's also super weird to have sister missionaries in the zone again. This past Friday we also had a really cool activity we got to do as a zone. We went to a really poor part of the zone and with the YSA of the stake we had a bunch of toys and we gave them out to all of the little kids. We sang some songs and the YSA did a dance and then we handed out some food and toys.

Have a good week!
