I am going bald in two diferent languages, it is enough that I am a white guy here in peru, but I'm going bald too, so I hear Gringo Palón alot wich means " Bald white guy". but no worries, because it's okay to be racist here, if I pulled the kind of stuff in the U.S. that people say to me here, I would get shanked, and you hear the word Nigger more here than in a Snoop Dog song. Everything is going well, I survived my first transfer, and I guess that I didn't learn what I was supose to from Elder [P], because I get to be his last Compañaro. I love the people we are teaching, we have one lady with a baptism date, and several new investigatores.
Spanish, I can understand more than I can speak, but it is coming, I bet by month number three I will be able to understand just about everything said to me. It's funny to see the look on peoples faces when they say something loud and slow in spanish, and then I give them an answer in a full sentence or two. Or when they ask my companion a question about me and I answer. Everything is going swell, and the work is porgressing well.

I am still in Villa Maria, and Elder [P] finaly started acting like a trainer, that would have been nice a moth ago, but what can you do. The thing is, is he only has a moth left and he wants to go out with a bang. Today we went to the Hospital because for the last month elder padilla has had stomach problems, after 2 hours of sitting and waiting, and after talking with a dr. they handed Elder P a poop sample cup. Elder P looked at it thanked the lady, and we headed for the Elivador (elevator?), in the Elivader we encountered a famous actor in peru... I don't know who he is but Elder P and the other poeple in the room did. After the famous guy, we walked out of the building and Elder P called the mission office and told them he was going to live with the pain for one more month, and then he bought a sandwich. yeah.
Raining ducks.... so the other day we were walking to the church and out of nowhere right next to me a duckling hits the ground, 1 second lader Boom Boom 2 more. My brain for a moment didn't know what to think. First off I've never seen a duck in peru and here they were falling from the sky. I looked up and saw a concered lady looking down from an unfinished 2ned story of a 3 story building. after colecting the ducks and giveing them back to the lady, we got her name and number and set a date for a visit. in case you are wondering what hapened, The lady bought the ducks to one day eat, and some how they ran off the second story...that's all I know.
It sounds like you are all doing well. In other News it's still cold down here, and it won't warm up till about october
