Elder Whitney, Tilley, ValVerde, Maxfield


Many people say that Elder Whitney and I look like brothers. I started to realize that he kind of really looks like Josh.
We still haven´t found a place to live yet. I think we are going to be moving in with four other Elders that live in another sector until we find a place. The thing is that our sector is pretty dangerous and we are white and appear to be rich. I wouldn´t feel comfortable living in the majority of our sector. We might just have to keep camping on the outskirts till we get something safe…. Last week we found 11 new investigators and this week we found 10. The weeks before that was around 1. Thank you so much for praying for us. We found a family from Peru this last week that we are really excited about. A whole family!!! We have been praying for them in every prayer. We had a baptismal date for the 4th, but they weren´t able to make it to church yesterday so we are going to have to push it off I believe. Their names are Juan, the dad, Yeseña, the mom, Juan, son, Carlos, son, and Ariana daughter. They are ages 14,11, and 9. I love listening to the little ones talk, because it is so much easier to understand. Chilenos speak really slurred. People from Peru speak very very clear…. Please tell me if I should just focus on writing experiences that we had during the week or just taking pictures of my journal or whatever is best. I want to help people mostly. I remember feeling so excited to read letters from Josh and see pictures. I was really pumped up to do what was right knowing that my brother was out there teaching people about the gospel. I want the letters I send home to be a blessing. Let me know how I can improve them.
