How I've Been Moving As Of Recent

My loved ones in the promised land, hope you all had a great week. Pretty light read today for you guys so let's get into it.


Cosas divertidas
Cathe has officially spread to the continent of South America. We’re international now baby. We will now be changing the name of the company to Cathe worldwide. I gave a Cathe shirt to this missionary from Bolivia in a trade for a soccer jersey. So big day for Cathe. This week we also had a 5.5 earthquake here in Lima, it was loco. It was during study time and the whole room started shaking. The sisters were freaking out. We had to evacuate and all that stuff. It was so fun, good times. I have also tapped so deep into my spiritual bag I have now learned to levitate (reference Google Photos).


New cut who dis
I decided to shake it up and I have a lil buzz cut now and I'm loving it. It's not my best look so it's a good thing I'm not looking for an eternal companion right now because I might have a hard time finding one. Hahah just kidding I'm loving the change.


Nos vemos
All of our favorite elders took off this week and it was a bleak day. Not a dry eye saying goodbye to these elders we had grown so close with. This included Elder Garcia who was our favorite. His final night was a party though, we hit a devious little tie swap, everyone had a little too much sprite and pineapple fanta and he was feeling crazy so we buzzed his head too. Now he's killing it out in the field and now we have matching haircuts.


One of the fallen
This week like usual, people are sick. We seem to be in quite the stalemate in the battle for our health. People still bedridden every day. Sadly this week, I was among the fallen, my throat and nose have been acting up. It's such a bummer. Slowly, it's getting better so all is well.


Spiritual
I read a verse from the B.O.M in my studies this week that I loved. The verse is Mosiah 4:9 and it reads “Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend”. Trust in God, trust that He lives. He is eager to bless us.


So not too much going down over here.


Another chill week hits the books.


Shoot me an email if you feel so inclined.


Peep Google photos as always:

Get after it this week.

Mi gente, deepest apologies for the miss last week, but wipe those tears because we are BACK. COCIDO INCIDENT The other day we were at this family's house, playing some cards and whatnot. Their 12-year-old son brought over this pot of PIPING hot cocido (it's a hot drink here) that he had forgotten on the stove. So, I’m in the middle of cooking this family in a game of UNO, and then this kid goes and spills this molten hot liquid all over my leg. Dude. I was going THROUGH IT. But there’s no longer a mark on my leg, so we’re cool now. SÁBADO / BEST NIGHT EVER There were a couple of tough days this week. We’ve already gone over this, but the area is in a tough spot, right? Anyway, on Saturday, we had dinner at our friends Sefarino and Dominga’s house (their respective nicknames are Big Sef and Domingoat). They are the greatest. I love them so much. They’re legit my Paraguayan fam. I’m sure the Lord did His thing, and they’re one of the biggest reasons I’m here in this area. Anyway...

Cuanto Lo Deseas?

"Two weeks in a row is crazy," they said. Well, now we're back with a little two-week streak because this week was crazy, and life is good in the CDE. Let’s hop into this calm update. ZONE CONFERENCE & DIVISIONS Monday night, the APs came out and stayed with us for a couple of days. I love them both so much. I got to go out with Elder Valerdi, who is one of my best friends in the mission and was also the first guy I ever did divisions with. He put on an absolute clinic on how to be a missionary, as always. Love that guy. I'll be so sad to see him go soon. Wednesday, we had Zone Conference, and all the missionaries from Zones 8 and 9 came out to CDE. It was enriching, as always. Lovell and I gave a presentation and had everyone shoulder-deep in those spiritual bags. THE WORK/BAPTISM CELEBRATION That same evening, we had a wedding, and five of our friends got baptized. Once again, my joy is overflowing. Elder Valerdi also joined us in white because he helped teach t...

Confía En El Proceso

Brothers and sisters, hoping this email finds you all in a blessed state. Let's jump right into this past week's events. KING OF CTOWN Recently, we've been working with our guy Jorge, an older member who recently reactivated himself, and now he's all in. A stud. This week, he walked around with us to teach and visit people, and this dude knows EVERYONE. He was chatting with literally everyone like, “Oh, we used to play soccer back in the day,” or “Oh, he's buddies with my brother.” This guy knows everybody. Every other house we walked by was his cousin's place or something. My companion was like, "How many cousins does this guy have?" The best part is that when we were contacting and visiting people, everyone recognized him and let us in. Jorge is our secret weapon, the king of C-town. Lessons with members are about to get exciting. OFF THE DOME This is the third week in a row the branch president has come up to me minutes before church and asked me to...
