Hello family and friends. Well things here in mMoyobamba 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
talk to me how my area is or anything like that. He just went
straight into the problem's 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 now I 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
