In an email dated June 15, 2009, Justin wrote that "This week went really really well." We love it when we read that! He wrote how different their zone conferences are than in his Lima Sur mission. "More relaxed, but still great!" They have at least one baptism every weekend until July 10. "We are excited about that." One of the investigators are an 18 year old couple that just got married 3 weeks ago and they are eight months pregnant. "We went over there to teach them for the first night with a bunch of members (they are family of them) on my companion's birthday and they had a cake and dinner for us. We ate it on the floor though because they only have 2 mattresses on the floor. We have some extra beds in the house so we got permission from the president to give them 2. That'll be good."
My companion's birthday went well. We lit off fireworks at 6 am in his room haha. (What is with my son and fireworks?? And inside???) Then we had a cake and everything in the afternoon. And the members of course all treated him well.
Sounds like the rest of my group isn't going to get here until the end of June. One of them emailed me this week and said things are going good. I actually do miss it a bit in Peru, especially the food. I have definitely lost weight here, my pants are all a bit looser on me.
Spanish is still coming along. I feel like it hit a plateau for a while, but I am trying to keep on getting better. Still have another year to get it down perfect to talk with all the Mexicans at home. (I think he is looking forward to being able to communicate with the Spanish speaking people here at home.) I miss Mexican food. I told the members last night I thought I'd be eating tacos and burritos for 2 years. I was wrong about that. Love you all. And talk to you next week, Justin"
