Last area ... Ferreñafe

 This week I was transfered out of Chachapoyas. I love that town, that branch, and those people. It was so fun up there. I will always look back on my time there extremely fondly. I don't think it is possible that we could've worked any harder without going mentally insane. It was such a good time. The miracles we saw every day where eye opening and changed my mission and my life. Getting down to Chiclayo entailed a 5 hour combi ride on monday and a 10 hour bus ride on tuesday due to landslides and floods. 

I took some pill that they sell in the paraderos that sister giuria told us to take for travels and not long after I felt like I was flying through the andes like an andean condor. Wasquita. 

I was transfered to what will be my last area. Ferreñafe. It is a really cool town just outside of Chiclayo. I miss the mountains but it feels good to feel some heat, dust, and dogs. It is crazy how different the people are here. I feel back at home. Chiclayo is such a dang cool place. The people here are super charming and sweet.

When I got here the apartment was absolutely horrendous. It still looks like what you would expect an apartment in chiclayo peru to look like, but I deep cleaned it. Like super deep clean. I found some acid in a black bottle, dumped the whole bottle in a bucket and then mixed a liter of bleach with it. It made some devilish concoction that bubbled up and turned a bunch of different colors and got all hot. I dumped it all over the shower and bathroom floor and scrubbed with a brush. It absolutely rinsed the mold and nasty build up. Then my throat started to burn. I left the bathroom and my lungs started to burn. I started coughing uncontrollably and couldn't really breathe for like 3 minutes. It was horrible. I went and sat outide and hacked my lungs out for a good 20 minutes until I could finally breath somewhat normally. Lesson learned, dont play with chemicals. I brushed my teeth after and the toothpaste foamed up and turned orange and my toothbrush turned yellow. And then my spit was yellow for a while. My poor body. 

My companion is Elder Borges. He's Brazilian. One of the coolest guys ever. He's the first brazilian comp I have had and he is a blast. I have now had companions from 5 different countries.

A group of guys won the soccer championship sunday morning and were out drinking with their trophy at 11 am. We passed by at 6 and they were still throwing them back. Congrats to the boys on the big win. Chelebrando

He is risen. We truly are free from sins dark prison. Death is conquered, man is free. The resurrection of our Savior is full of hope, love, joy, and peace.

Alma 11

42 Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death. 

43 The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt.
