...very small rocks (Haley hates birds!)



Letter to new Sisters...
looks like it needs a little work
We got 4 new roommates. All of them are Latina. Not one of them speaks a lick of English. It makes for some interesting conversations. Hermana Alpaca (that's her real name!!) likes to teach us slang. The rest of the girls are super sweet but I can’t say or spell or remember their names. One likes to learn English and she will just watch us all the time. Its super weird….it’s flattering too, kinda.

It doesn't really rain here (Lima). It mists in the morning and will be super foggy all day. I like it. You guys would really like it too. 

Only bad part about the CCM is the fact that there are tons of things for birds to sit on and bathe in and poop on.  It’s also bird mating season. I have become really good at chucking jelly beans and very small rocks at mating birds. It’s hard to concentrate on the law of Chastity (next lesson for Marcos the almost baptized investigator) when the birds aren’t following the law!

Little Peruvian girl thought we were cute.
We couldn't understand a
 word she was saying!
We committed one of our investigators to be baptized this week. We forgot to teach him the Word of Wisdom before I blurted out the challenge. Our next lesson was over WOW and he told us that he didn't want to get baptized.... He then laughed and said that he was joking. I gotta say almost cried right there. He then autographed Hna. Nelson's Libro De Mormon. It turned out to be a really good lesson.



Our other investigator Pilar… Oh Pilar. She seemed super interested and now she doesn't. She has a lot of friends that are not members so I think one of them may have talked to her and said our church isn't true. I'm just glad our investigators are teachers and not regular citizens.
Girls will be girls
