| Zona Iquitos |
Hello all! This week was interesting! We just got back from getting our haircut!
For starters, yesterday Pres called the APs asking about the chapels in Iquitos and where we could do a big zone conference with everyone because Elder Bednar is coming Friday. So we crapped our pants thinking that ELDER DAVID A BEDNAR was going to be in Iquitos and more than likely the office………………… but. The APs went to President's house yesterday to finish some stuff with transfers and sure enough……….. he's not coming. He will be in Lima and will do a transmission. Either way still pretty cool. Just not as cool as it could be.
Today we got up and instead of cleaning the house, Elder Neves and I went to the chapel to clean the font for our baptism today. We got to spend some good time with Dennis and eat some jerky.
I´ve been following the Prophet´s visits in the Pacific pretty closely on the church website this week. I absolutely love to see all the good that he is doing. His messages are so awesome to the people. Not much more you could ask from the Prophet.
Monday the 13th we went to teach English classes in the church and we received a pretty awesome referral. Her name is Liz and she is 23 and is well prepared to receive the gospel. Last Sunday we taught her in the church and we watched the Restoration video and she understood it really well and seemed quite interested. She is going to go to our baptism tonight and we're hoping to teach her there as well and invite her to be baptized!
Elder Macz found a function on his camera that makes everyone look pretty silly. We've had some fun with that this week.
Tuesday on district meeting the zone presented a cake and soda to Hermana Blake(Idaho) and I because we have May birthdays! It was pretty awesome and the cake was on point as well! Hahah

The best part of having a gringo companion is that you just have the same culture and you just seem to understand each other really well. Elder Neves and I have come to the conclusion that all Utah moms like Diet Coke with lemon and the small small cubed ice. And lots of other things like that hahah. We talked about the book “Oh the places you´ll go” by Dr. Suess this week and how we are basically living that book as we are on our missions in IQUITOS PERÚ.
Being in the office, you really get to know who all the “chupamedias” are (brownnosers). It is quite frustrating, but just something that will happen here.
I busted another pair of pants this week but they should be fixable hahah. The joys of being an old missionary.
I think that’s all for this week!
