Yo yo what's good family and friends? This week went by really quick. Between working in our area, training a new secretary and doing some other little projects that President has asked us to design, we've been pretty slammed.
Mom just so that you know, last night my package came, and I was pretty stoked. I'm hoping to send the ties soon so today or next week if you could throw some money on my card to pay for them…. That would be awesome. I am honestly doubting that I get the ties back from Pucallpa before I come home in October, but I trust that Elder Jacobson would bring them back just a month later in November. The candy was awesome as well. I might have to share it all before I take off in a bit. But I will make the most out of it. Thanks mom, dad, and Keat for the short little letters!
We also got a fridge in the office last week…………. That is awesome and very dangerous at the same time.
The AP's have been in Pucallpa all week with the Parker's doing zone conferences and interviews and all that good stuff. It´s too bad that my package didn’t get here a week earlier, I would have been able to just send the ties with them and have them within a month or so. We'll see hahha
In my studies I've been in the 3rd book of Nephi and actually today while I was waiting for a computer, I read the first chapter when the Savior appears unto the Nephites. I counted how many times the He mentioned doctrines of Lesson 3, and he mentioned repentance 4 times and Baptism 13 times just in one chapter. I think that as I study this week I am going to keep track of the “stats” to get a bit more understanding of the things that He teaches. About a year or so ago we had a devotional with the Prophet and he invited us to do the same, but I just never got around to it hahahha.
I don’t know what else to say. Working in a trio is hard, and can be frustrating sometimes. I haven’t had the best attitude about it hahahha. Fighting trunkiness is hard as well. A phrase that we use is “se lava las manos” which means washing their hands. We take that from the Bible when Pilate washes his hands from Jesus´ blood before giving the order to crucify Him. Lately I have really wanted to “wash my hands” and just get out of the office hahah. Being out in the field should be awesome.
Elder Newell and his group went to migrations this week to cancel his residency which means that he has less than 10 days to get home. Crazy to see everyone going home already, I feel like the transfer just started.
Monday Neves, Argyle and I will head to Nauta to do a big service project. We will act as translators for some big project, I'm not quite sure what's gonna happen, but President approved us to go in STREET CLOTHES so that should be fun hahaha. Expect pics next week for that!
Tomorrow is Peru's Independence Day so well see just how much work we get done tomorrow!
Thanks for everything!
Cuidense todos!
Elder Roper
