Hello family and friends. this week has been good. just the normal
things. This week president Blunck came to Moyobamba and we had the
zone conference. It was great. We learned a whole lot and did a whole
lot of practices. It was long but really good for all of us in in the
zone. One thing that I really liked is something that said one of the
12 apostles. He said we must earn the references from the members. not
ask. It made us all reflect of how we are working in the mission to
really see if we are working hard enough. That way we need to set
goals and be better. after the conference I had the opportunity to
work with president Blunck. I was really shocked of how all of the
people accepted him really easily. Everyone that we talked to said that
we could come by to teach them. For the contacts it was all good.
After we did all that I felt OK after the work we did. the lesson that
we taught wasn't very good. Who knows may be he will put me as junior
comp to the sisters? ha ha but we will see.

Well I have received a few letters asking about a clip that was shown
in the 100th anniversary of seminary. In there it showed a few young
men and women from Iquitos Peru. The answer is yes I do know them. The
area that they were in was the area of my district leader. I had many
opportunities to work in that area and I knew Erickson and Wendy. Its
fun because they say that he needs to use a canoe to get to seminary.
That's not exactly true?????? Only for about 2 weeks when the river
rises. In Iquitos usually they do seminary in the houses like you saw
at the end. and the to elders that you saw are my good Friends. Well
Elder xicara and Elder Early. Elder Early is now in his house but iIwill definitely get the autograph from elder xicara. ha ha. But the
young men and women there are awesome and they really are strong.

Well other than that things are going good. There really isn't much to
say this week. Love you all and hope things are going good. love you
all. Elder Clouse





Hello family and friends. Well things here in Moyobamba are going
good. Once again we had a good church attendance from the
investigators. We are looking at having a few baptisms this month.
We have really been working hard with the members trying to get
references and to have a lot of people who have met our investigators
can be their friends. So far it has worked very well. The members here
are very good. I just think the big problem that has been here are
the same missionaries. They haven't really done anything to gain the
confidence of the members. But we are now changing that and we are
looking at some very good results.

Well there is a little girl who is 5 years old that is in love with my
companion. Last night i had to call her dad to ask him a question, and
she answered. We were fighting over the phone because i kept on
saying give the phone to your dad, but she said no give the phone to
your companion first and then i will give it to my dad. She kept on
saying for that for 5 minutes until finally her dad came in and
answered the phone. I told my companion, may be we should call
president to tell him that you have your girlfriend here in moyobamba.
It was hilarious.

Well i also had my interview with President Blunck. He didn't even
talked to me how my area is or anything like that. He just went
straight into the problems that we have here in the zone. He
overwhelmed me a little bit because some of the elders confessed that
there are obedience problems and other things that nowI have to watch
over and help the missionaries overcome. There not anything big but
just waking up late and watching t v and stuff. (and they wonder why
we don't have success) But we will face it and overcome everything.
Other than that the zone looks like we are becoming better. This month
we will hit the highest number of baptisms in over 10 months. So
things are getting better.

Well tomorrow are the transfers and I will be very busy today getting
everything ready for me to go to Lima and for the elders and the
sisters that will be coming into our zone. we will see. Other than that
we are working hard and trying to better ourselves in everything we
do. I love you all and hope everything Goes well. With much love Elder
Clouse
