Happy 19th Birthday Elder Bruner!

Here are a bunch of photos sent to us by Elder Bruner's pentionista who makes lunch for the missionaries almost every weekday. Happy birthday Elder Bruner!

Getting ready to celebrate!


It is customary in Peru to have your face smashed into your birthday cake. Do you recognize my face print in the cake?

Hahahaha!



Some sisters made me a cake for a ward family night.

January 9, 2017 - Week 15!

Image
This week has been great as always! Not too much happened, but I've felt the spirit every day, and I just love it! Last p-day after emailing, we had a miracle for lunch. We went to Papa John's for pizza, and normally, one large pizza with some drinks and other things included is 40 soles. Well, we got there, and a member was working. Returned missionary too. He had only been back for about a year. We asked about the deal that we had seen, and he made us a special missionary offer. We got 4 pizzas (any pizza, specialty or not, didn't matter) for a total of 54 SOLES, which is like $15! Crazy good deal. We each got a pizza to ourselves (8 slices). We were lead by the spirit to go there for lunch... haha. Idk if that was the spirit or just luck that time. Either way, awesome!       ---   We also disinfected our bathroom last p-day, because it was starting to get dirty again. Clorox on the floor and shower and everywhere, and just mopped everything. We don't have a m...

January 2, 2016 - Happy New Year!

Image
I can't believe that this week will mark 3 months in the mission! Time seems to go faster in the mission field for sure. New Year's was crazy. More fireworks for a solid 15 minutes starting at midnight than on Christmas, I've been a bit sick with congestion this past week, so it was easier to just forget about the fireworks and fall asleep after getting used to them for like 5 minutes. This week we did lots of contacting. We had some lessons, but the majority of the time was walking around talking to people. It's sometimes a bit hard to just start talking, but once you start, it's a lot easier. We also are trying to contact more families as a mission, especially during this season of Christmas and New Years. We had transfers this past week, and some new elders came into our Zone! I didn't get transfered, so I'm still in the same sector with Elder de Arce. It's normal to be with the same companion in the same area for 2 transfers. One of the ...

February 13, 2017 – Week 20!

This week has been awesome, and a little difficult, but more awesome! The difficult part was that we had transfers, and Elder de Arce left. My trainer left me... That was kinda sad.   I didn't think it'd be so hard, but we were pretty close as companions! The good news is... my new companion is great too! Elder Trujillo is my new companion, also from Argentina (Santa Cruz), and he's 24 years old. He likes drawing as well, and also plays the guitar! Although he forgot a bit since he's been in the mission for 15 months, it sounds like he's pretty good! Leading around this week has been a little difficult, but it's great preparation for the future if I have to train a new missionary or lead another missionary around as a senior companion! It's gotten easier each day. Now the awesome parts. We had a baptism this past Saturday! We baptized hermana Mayra, and her testimony she gave afterwards was great. I feel she'll be a faithful member of th...
