Peru MTC, Lima, Week 3

Hi Familia, Glad everyone is doing good, and that's cool Cara got a job. I'm sure Brennan is having a great time with school being out! And ya Jared is getting married next week (If you go to the reception say Gragratulations for me, and tell him I'm happy for him and miss him and that stuff) No, my companion from the Provo MTC is going to the Santa Cruz, Bolivia mission, so in three weeks when we all ship out he'll be gone. I don't know why they call it the CCM, not sure what it stands for, but I get a new companion today, so thats exciting. And ya we have districts and there is 2 zones one zone is for the new people and the other for the older one. The days here;  I get up at 6:30 everyday of course, usually earlier because other people wake me up before that, speaking of  I'm always tired everyday, and I get more tired everyday.  then at 8 am I  have personal study time then at 9 I  have companionship study, then at 10 it's class till 12 which is amuerzo or lunch, then more class were we practice teaching till 3 which is another hour of personal study till 4 which is like gym time basically till 5:30 then more class till cena or dinner then after that more class and teaching, and that how the schedule works everyday sometime we have group meetings and every sunday there is a little fireside.   We went tracting this last saturday again, in the northern part of Lima this time, and we tracted for about 6 and a half hours which feels like a really long day when really no one wants to talk to you, so we tracted from about 9 till 1, and we didnt really have any success.   I totally bombed bearing my testimony to this guy because I forgot a word, and that was a little brutal,  ha ha. So I  sat there for like 15 seconds dying trying to search my mind for the word I needed, but ya anyways.  Then the missionary we were with (whose area it is, so there was 3 of us) we went to a members house for a little bit and that was cool.   You could completely tell the difference of being in that house verses all the other ones we've gone to, it was really interesting to feel that, and it was this single mom with 2 kids and the grandma lived on the house under her and she went to buy  us coke.   The mom cleaned out some glasses for us, and I was handed mine, which still had soap all over it.  I was poured a drink, so I was hoping nothing terrible would happen, ha ha, but there is no way you can turn anything down, when they're trying to be nice to you, so I was just hoping all the soapy coke wouldn't make me sick.   I survived though.   After that we went to lunch back at the stake building ( which is farely new and really nice) and I was just not having the best time that day because  I  get no sleep here so I'm really tired and  all day I'm struggling because I  have no idea pretty much what's  happening with any conversation we were having.  But we went out again after, and we knocked on a few doors and nothing happened (this time it was my companion and I and a teacher for the ccm with us) and we got to the first house that ansered.   It was this really old little lady probably like 4 and a half feet tall, and she let us into her house which didn't even really have a roof.   All dirt floors.   We went into her living room,  which had a tarp pulled over it, and we sat down and we started talking, and the teacher asked if we could offer a prayer with her (which is what he asked at the door) to bless her house and her family and by this time her grandson came home from school so he was there with us, and my teacher offered a prayer and when we were done,  she was just crying, and then we again said we were missionarys and would like to share our message with her and she agreed, and then they looked at me and I was able to share the first part-- to the best of my ability, and I was juat able to do it with flow and I  know it was because the spirit was helping me, and that was a really amazing experience probably the best thing that has happened to me so far on the mission, just being in this little old lady's house and seeing her cry because she felt the spirit ( and I know she did because I felt it and it was just different with her than anybody else we talked to,  and I don't know how to describe it).  She was listenening to everything we were saying and she said she would let the missionaries come in next time they came, and I wish I  could continue teaching her. That was awesome. Well I  have to go, I love you guys!!! Hope you all have a great week
