Transfers

Well transfers came again. My companion Elder Garcia is staying for his 4th transfer. We both thought that he was going to go but we are both hyped that he is staying. 

Garbage dump on the streets close to where Jackson lives. 

Last week was good with New Years and everything. We watched the fireworks and the next day the streets were dead, and there were some drunk people out, haha. Our neighbors starting partying at midnight on New Years and they were blasting their Peruvian music and they partied until 9 in the morning and they were super drunk. It was kind of funny but I didn't sleep at all that night. 

Streets on New Year's Eve

So these past couple of weeks we have been working with this Venezuelan family y todo and we have been filtering them to see who really are the chosens in their family. There is one that has really shown that he wants the changes in his life. His name is Freddy Rivero, and he is living here away from his family in Venezuela. He is about 45 years old, and he has heart problems and he's super homesick. He misses his family a lot but we are helping him prepare for the 25th of this month. 

We visited John Pierre from last week and he was doing good but he failed us in going to church on Sunday and so we had a sit down with him and told him that he really needs to show us that he wants these changes in his life. So everyone please pray for him. We are also working with some other potentials but it has been going a little rough with finding but my companion and I are really determined to work harder this transfer. 

Our laundry lady is our mamita pretty much, but she's super awesome and she made us robes of the Peruvian flag with our names on them. Well I hope everyone has a good week and a Happy new year!
