October 5th, 2015 Ignacion Escurdido Week 2

[[Well first of all, I hope he's joking about the parasite Emoji.....you never know with Jace. And FYI, in his email to me he explained a few things I wanted details about from his last email: He does live in a house, and there is a kitchen which does have a fridge and a stove. The other 3 rooms are the chapel, the primary room, and his and his companions room. The nearest real chapel is 40 minutes away. That's where he watched conference. He really does shower with a bucket, and there is no hot water. They don't have air conditioning or a swamp cooler, but they do have a fan. He has a pensionista (someone hired to fix their meals) named Katty and he eats lunch at her house every day]]. -From Dayna


 Dearest Fam and Friends,

I hope all is well in the land of the people with teeth and the home of the traffic laws that are actually followed.  This week was great! So without further thought, let me explain why;

We set four baptismal dates this week!  What what! Mostly (lol) though because they may have said yes out of pity (Im the one who did the asking).  Anyway it was super awesome and this week our goal is 6. Hahaha. However, please pray for them because there is tendency to committ to things you don´t plan on doing here.

I am 95% sure I have a parasite named Little Ignacio who eats 3/4 of my meals.

There is a panderilla right next to our house that makes mediocre bread that is delicious to me for some reason.  Never fear, the parasite mentioned above helps me keep my figure.

Conference was number one. I got to watch Saturday and the Priesthood session in English. So good. Watching in Spanish wasn´t too bad and I could understand it for the most part.

Mission work is fun, and mission work is hard. Keep the commandments.  Do the little things.  Remember why you love the Gospel.  Keep the Sabbath Day holy and take the sacrament.  I promise that it will only bless your lives.  Remember to do it all with a smile or the Plan of Happiness might as well be called the Plan of Grumpiness. Peru is cool and I love you all! Stay sweet!

Love, Elder Meier
