Oh the joys of adjusting to a foreign country.

Ok so I left my paper with all that I wanted to write to you in my apartment but I want to introduce you to my "daughter" haha. This is Hna Rochette and she is from Idaho. She doesn't know very much Spanish yet, just like I was when I started but she is awesome! We have been working super hard and I am extremely happy!!!! I really needed this change and I needed to have this challenge in my life at this time. I am forced to talk and I'm forced to know the lessons so I am feeling the Spirit work through me so strongly! I'm sooooo grateful for this experience!

I'm super happy that Kagun got his Arrow of Light!!!!!! I'm super proud of him!!!!!And the band!!!! I can't believe they got first on their first comp!!!!! I'm sooo happy for them! And Kendra was down there with the drum majors!!!! AHHH so much is happening and I'm here haha but it's alright I'm fine with it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I'm sorry I don't have my paper to write a longer email but I promise that I'll get it to you next week! Here are some pics of me at the big Chiclayo sign and one of DR Pepper which was the first time I'd seen it in Peru haha and then the weird thing going on with my face, don't worry :P 

I've got some sort of allergy but the doctor didn't tell me what it is. All he did was give me creams and antibiotics. I've got bug bites all over my bottom and legs too. I've had all this for more than a month now. Its getting better slowly but its annoying. 

Hermana Favero and her companion Hermana Rochette.  This picture was taken after she went to the doctor for her problem with her face, looks a lot better.

Peru has been kinda rough on her.

Watermelon on the shelf! haha

New Companion!

So Hermana Favero started her little chat with me by asking me if I was ready to be a grandma! Of course I knew she was messing with me.  It was her way of telling me that she is going to be getting a brand new companion straight from the MTC.  Hermana Favero will be training her! This new comp is also from the US!! She is so excited and we are so happy for her.  This is the really short email she sent today:

I got the Bleazard`s package! And this week Hna Waite and I had exchanges! Together again but in the field! Super fun!!!!!! Sorry for the shortness this week I'm just all over the place because my comp has to say bye to everyone. I'll write more next week I promise.

Fishing!!

Hermana Favero spent her computer time chatting with her family today so we didn't get a very long email.  She mentioned to me, while we were chatting, that she doesn't think she will be transferred but if she is it will be next Tuesday.  She also mentioned she was happy to get out of her area for the day and go to the beach.  She was getting a little stir crazy and she has always loved the beach.  Here is her email:

This pday we went FISHING!!!! Super fun! We went to the beach and fished off the pier!!! I don't have a lot to write about this week but I am doing really good and I am making tons of great memories!!! I hope all is well with you guys! I want to hear from everyone!!! I love you all so much! I hope you have an amazing week!!!!!

Chevere!

Hermana Favero decided to write this email in Spanish! The little stinker!

Esta semana empezamos a tomar desayuno en nuestro cuarto! Estamos lejos de nuestro pensión entonces compramos lo que queremos y comemos tranquilas!  También esta semana teníamos una pollada para una pareja! Ellos quieren casarse para poder bautizarse pero no tienen mucho dinero para hacerlo. Ellos hacían pollo para vender y nosotros les ayudamos! Super chevere! El últimos son de la aniversario de La Victoria! tomamos fotos en la parque con una ancla y una tanque para Kagun y con las cosas de la feria! son recuerdos que nunca voy a olvidar! 
 Espero que todos están bien y que todos están feliz! 
  Les amo muchísimo!!!!   

Here is how it translated:

This week we started to have breakfast in our room! We are far from our pension we buy what we want and eat quiet! Also this week we had a brood for a couple! They want to marry baptized but do not have much money to do so. They had chicken to sell and we help them! Super chevere! The latter are of the anniversary of the Victory! take photos in the park with a anchor and a tank Kagun and the things of the show! They are memories that I will never forget!

I hope all is well and everyone is happy!

We love you so much !!!!

New Room

So I don't want to send a way long email this week, so I'll just tell you here that Hno Hubert, our convert that drank again, is going to church again and he wants to have an appointment with the bishop as soon as he can but now we have another problem. He lives in another ward's boundaries. We will have to work with him until he has enough self confidence to move to his own ward.  The problem is that he doesn't have any family and he doesn't know any of the members of his ward and he is basically family of a family in our ward. He is over at their house every day and he goes to church with them every Sunday. This is gonna be hard.


So this is our new room!!! We are living in a little room in a huge house. The family we are living with aren't members but they are the sweetest people ever! They have a yard, which is unheard of here and we are upstairs so we don't eat dirt like we used to when we study! The Street is called Pachacutic. Two blocks up is where the church is and they are working on putting in an actual street instead of dirt! I'm so excited for it to be done haha it's no fun having to empty your shoes every five minutes from all of the sand

Mountains To Cimb

Wow this week was a huge roller coaster! 

We haven't been having very good numbers lately and we were walking down the street and found Hno Hubert (The man we baptized when Hna Torres was still here) completely wasted. He was very respectful with us and I was very grateful for that but it still scared me. I have never been in a situation like that! (besides when I got kissed by a drunk guy that one time :P) He kept telling us that his life has been destroyed. We decided to take him to Hno Lopez`s house and then we went to get him food because we had a feeling that he hadn't eaten lunch. When we walked away, I couldn't hold back the tears. Hno Hubert is completely alone here. His girlfriend completely separated herself from him and he has no communication with his kids. We are his only family here and we can't see him every day. We fasted for him yesterday and we are praying everyday that he gets back to the good ole Hubert he was right before and after his baptism. He is such an amazing man and could bring such great blessings to the ward here. All we can do is pray and work with him to get him back to the path. 

  

Other than that I'm doing alright here. We found another golden family last night and I know that in the near future they will all be baptized hehe.

  

I hope everything is going fantasticly at home! I miss you all like none other but I know that here is where I'm supposed to be right now. Ugh I have so much to tell but no time to tell it. I will try to write as much as I can in letters and in my journal to share with you all! 

              I love you all soooo much and I hope that you all have an amazing week! 

                                               Les amo mucho! Hermana Favero

Another slow week

Hey Family and Friends!!!! 

This week was another slow week for us but I do have some stories to tell you all! 

So we have been super happy about a family that we just reactivated and then yesterday we passed by their house and they had friends over and they were drinking. We don't know if the parents of this family were drinking or just their friends but it makes us really worried. We are going to go over there today and try to lift them up spiritually a little bit. I hope they keep going on the right track! 

Also we have a new investigator who we are working with really hard. Her name is Cleo and she has a grandson who is a member. We are also working with her granddaughter and she always goes to church with us! Cleo is Catholic and she doesn't understand the difference between her baptism and baptism in our church. She knows that we are here to invite her to come unto Christ and to be baptized but she just won't take that step to say yes yet. We also have an appointement with her tonight and we have some videos we will show her to hopefully get her thinking more towards being baptized! 

Sorry again, I don't have time to send pics but when I do have time I will be sure to send them! 

I hope you all have an amazing week and remember that you have a Heavenly Father who loves you and wants to hear from you always! I love you all so much! 

                                         Les amo! Hermana Favero
