Mi Hijo / New Area

Got my padawan!! His name is Elder Sanjines!! He's from La Paz, Bolivia! Super close to Puno haha. He's super awesome and super young, he recently just turned 18 so it makes me feel old, we get along really well and he's loving the mission already. I'm trying to teach him everything I know little by little, but it's also been hard recently because of the new area change. We've been trying really hard to get to know all the members but this week has kind of been everything thrown at our face at once haha. We have a ton to do this coming week and I'm honestly just grateful for P-days haha. But it's been good! I'm already learning a ton and just doing the best I can. Next week I'll talk about our investigators again because I'm getting to know everyone all over again haha, but it's a blast. Elder Sanjines and I have been doing all we can to find new investigators and part families!! 

It's been really hard to get used to a new area along with a kid but I'm lovin it, it's been stressful and kind of all at once but it's the best. It was sad to already leave my investigators in Sicuani ward but I'll be able to see them since I'm so close haha, so I'll update you guys about them if I find out anything. Very very excited to train and learn more about Vilcanota and get settled in. 

We did lots of spontaneous service this week because of the amount of rain that fell, we've been walking and basically just helping everyone cross street rivers and move things around getting soaked, that kind of service makes you feel so good haha, we spent about 2 hours just running around one big street helping everyone and contacting on the way, I don't know why but it was probably the highlight of the week haha, I love having fun while doing good, best combination. 

Hope you all had a good week!! Here's some pictures of Cusco (my favorite city in the whole world). We had a really fun day of training and eating haha, we got to go to Cusco's plaza and contact for a little bit then go get Chinese Peruvian food! Good day! Loved hanging out with all the new missionaries.  Love you all!!!!!!!!!!
