I have finally reached a new area in the mission!!! Im now in Vitarte opening up a new area here!! It is one of the best blessings of the mission to open up an area, and i am so glad that i have recieved it so early in my mission. I am here with two companionsl Elder Mamani from Arequipa, and Elder Smith from Florida. Elder Smith is with us until he goes back to Bolivia in a week or so. My companion is the best companion that i have had to date. People usually say that arequipenions are trouble, but he is just awesome and we have fun the whole day long. He keeps all the rules and is a hard worker, while still having fun. He keeps a great balance on everything.
Our new area is ENORMOUS!!! They split the boundaries of this ward in two, so right now this ward has 5 missionaries. The area as a whole was much larger than my last zone! It is so big that for a lot of its parts, we have to take 10 to 15 min bus rides. But this area is so ripe and ready to go. In this first few days of work, we have two baptisms set up for this saturday, and more coming in May. We have truly been blessed with this new area. The area is poor, but not as poor as my last area, there is one part in our area that has Corn crops and has a slice of america. Its a rich condomium area that also has a convention center that has a little water park and a golf course. Of course im going to find out about the golf course, cause there are a few guys in our zone that like to golf, and im dying to go play haha. But there is success in this rich area, and in all the area. I will try to send pictures to you so that you can see what i mean.
This last week has been a little crazy though. With transfers, the president only this last week divided this area. So all 5 of us missionaries ended up sleeping in our little room on three mattresses, i have a video and it will be coming in the cd that i will be sending home very soon. It ws pretty funny, and a very interesting night. Now were only down to three in our little room, so its a little cramped but still enjoyable. Everything else has just been great this week. We are having a blast in the area and look forward to tearing it up.
Thank you for the pictures, its funny that all of them are a little weird, and not everyone is smiling in them. And then the random one with Steve. Is he starting his papers yet or what? Tell him to get on those already. Thats great you had time with Zach and Samira, be sure to send them my love and support. We actually have an investigator whose father just got back from iraq. He was a pilot, and he is a big man.
Things are great here, and i dont have any complains. The office is slow of getting my package to me, so i think that we will stop by there and get it, cause i REALLY want it haha. I hope things are great out there in Chicago. The summer should be coming in there, and summer hasnt ended here yet. It is still pretty hot everyday, but its not bad. Try not to have too much fun without me haha.
With love,
Spenser
