Greetings From the Mission Front!

Hey guys!

So this past week has been such a good week. This past thursday we went on some splits. I left and went with our District Leader Elder Chavez and our Zone Leader Elder Johnston came and worked with my comp, Elder Choque. I had a great day with Elder Chavez. We actually raced up and down some of the big old sand dunes on the way to appointments so that was pretty fun. This past couple of days have been great with Elder Choque, we are starting to really enjoy one another and we are even playing jokes on each other. Elder Choque started it so that was defitenitly a good sign. He is starting to loosen up and we are working really great together. Its Great!! The temple was really amazing even though I didn´t know a whole lot of what was going on (the session was all in Spanish) I definilty could feel the spirit. Hearing it in spanish was really neat and having to do everything in spanish was definilty a challenge but i got through it. I really love the Lima Temple and the little Peruvians that work there. They really love the misssionaries and they are a real strengh to us all.
Elder Choque and I are currently in the process of finding a new apartment and hopefully a pension who is much closer. We want a cuarto pension but its tough to find one that meets all of the requirements. But we are still looking, we need to find one by the end of the week so hopefully something turns up.
I haven´t really told you too much about the terrain here in Ancon so here goes. There's sand, sand, and some more sand. There is one main section of paved road and that is the strip of Ancon. There aren´t really cars just a whole lot of little motor taxis and some of them are pretty decorated. Its funny cuz they take pride in their little motor taxis like people take pride in thier rice rockets back home. But yeah we do a ton of walking. We probrably average at least eight miles a day, but that makes alot of time for street contacts so thats always good. The people here are really great escpecially the members. We taught a lady the other day who has a son with the name of Brian so I was quick to tell them about my little bro.
But yeah things here are going great. I love hearing from everyone and its sounds like things are going great. Love you guys.
