12 de Enero 2015!
Hey guys! How are you doing??? This week has gone by super
fast! I can hardly believe that it's already over! Tons has happened! And I
might not have much time to write today because today is transfers and , which is the northeast part of Peru.
I'm like 10 minutes from Ecuador. Pretty cool, no?? Except, they say that it's
the hottest part of Peru. And there are lots of mosquitos. Pray for me! Because
I don't wanna die! jaja. It's super cool though! I'm sure I'm going to enjoy
it! My companion is Elder D. He is from Huaraz, Peru. We are both the zone
leaders here in Tumbes. Well actually there are 2 zones here. And we are the
zone leaders of the Tumbes zone! I'm super nervous, but excited. It should be
great!

This last week passed by so quickly! I can hardly believe
how fast my 4 and one half months passed by in Sullana. I'm kind of sad to
leave Sullana behind. It really was a sweet area! I'm going to miss the members
there a ton!
Unfortunately, R R didn't end up getting baptized this last
week. There were a few complications in his family and he wasn't there for
almost the whole week but he came back on Saturday and attended church on
Sunday and so he is planning on being baptized this next Saturday, the 17th.
I'm super excited for him! But the good news is that I was able to baptize
someone! That was pretty cool! The hermanas in our ward had an investigator
that got baptized this last week! And she asked me to do the ordinance of the
baptism for her! So that was kind of cool! I love seeing baptisms. I'm so grateful
to be a missionary!
It was kind of sad saying goodbye to everyone in my area.
Saturday night they called us with the news of transfers. I wasn't expecting to
be zone leader. It was kind of a surprise. And it was also surprising to come
to Tumbes. Tumbes is super far away from Piura. Like 6 hours. It's the farthest
area from Piura in the mission. I'm pretty excited about being here though!
Today the bus ride was super sweet! For like 2 straight hours it's just driving
along the coastline looking at the beautiful beaches. My mission may not be
super pretty but it does have some of the most famous beaches in all of South
America! I'm so excited for this next p-day to go to the beach again!! It's
been since like the end of April since I've been. I've been missing p-days on
the beach!
Sorry the letter is going to be super short today. There is
not much time! But I'm super happy! Next week I'll write a longer letter, I
promise! Thanks for all the love and support! Love you guys tons!

T's baptism last week was such a blessing! I'm so happy for him! It
was kind of sad saying goodbye to him.

There is a Dominoes Pizza here in Tumbes! And it only costs
like 15 soles which is like 5 bucks! I’m so happy! Today I ate pizza for lunch!
BEING IN TUMBES IS THE BEST!
