Week 10

So, my companion, Elder Lozano, always wants to run in the mornings and it is not even hard cause we don't even run that far and i hate running ever since the Spartan Race we did.

This week was pretty nice though, we spent most of the week in Arequipa, so that is probs why!?! haha We spent all p-day there, then came back Tuesday for district meeting, then we did splits with the other elders that are in Arequipa, so we stayed over at their place for the night. Then, we didn't get back to La Joya until like 4 on Wednesday, so that was super chill. Then Thursday morning we had to travel back again cause we had zone conference. It was super fun. There were a couple guys there from the MTC that i got to chill with so that was sick.

I would've exchanged my camera last week but i forgot the stupid box. so we are for sure changing it today cause we got permission from the zone leaders to go do it hahaha. so next week there will for sure be pics, 100%

Here are more characteristics of Elder Lozano that remind me of Blake (dad)....

He always asks if I'm ready even when I'm clearly not ready. 

His fetching watch alarm goes off at 5:30 so he will wake up and just sit there, then at 6:00 he will start playing music.  I just wanna kill myself.

hahahha lol, um lets see. Everyone here eats out of the same salad bowl and they will lick the spoons  and then put them back in whatever it came from, and ya it is just terrible!!! hahahaha.

Also, I weighed yesterday and I'm exactly 200 lbs. still so that is good. I actually lost a couple pounds since the MTC.

Today has been super sick, we woke up early to come to Arequipa. Then we played soccer with our district in Congata. Then we split up and went to the market to get a bunch of ingredients for what we were gonna make for lunch. I went with one of the zone leaders who is from cali so that was super sick. I got to talk to him in English and ask him questions about Spanish and stuff so that was super chill. I got to be with him for a couple hours while we went and got ingredients and did some other stuff.

Then we had this super good lunch with like hot dogs (kind of ) and guacamole and other stuff and it was so good.

oh yeahhhhhh, also they fetching had Kit Kats at the market so I got a couple of those, best Kit Kats I've ever had!!! hahaha.

And tonight we are having roasted chicken so that is gonna be sick!

oh yeah i almost forgot....

so we had a family that was progressing super super well and we thought for sure we were gonna get them baptized. but yesterday we did splits with the pensionista's sons and I went with the one who is a returned missionary. and then the parents started talking to him about all this stuff. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is cause the Spanish was way above my comprehension hahhahaha but I think I know what it is and its pretty serious. so yeah that stinks.

but we have a lot of kids that are doing super well and I think we are gonna commit these two 13 year old girls this week that are super chevere.

but yeah that's about it!

see you next week lol.

papa bless, Elder Mortenson
