Mi casa


 So our room/Apartment has 3 room, starting with the room were we sleep and do everything, second the kitchen, and then the tiny bathroom, and in the last picture you see the top of the bathroom door, and the sun shining through the gaping gap in h (?)








Ropas blanco!!




Hola familia mía (y los amigos), So I have good news that I finally got to try on my white clothes! Saturday the 19th of October Alajandrina Alba was baptized  it was kind of a close call because she was almost an hour late to her Baptism, and the Bishop or another priesthood member didn't show up...well really the only one who showed up was Hermana Alajandrina. we just found some members that were doing a craft activity in the building to participate in the Baptism. However it was really good I didn't mess up at all on the spanish and she went down perfectly in the water. When she came back up I asked her how she felt and her answer was so simple at first I thought it was a joke, but really it was her simple yet powerful testimony of what the spirit had testified to her, she just said "fresh" that's it that's all she said. Afterward in her testimony all she said was " Well I felt like I was going to drown, but I felt fresh in the water....thats all." it was a very simple testimony, but right after she had the undeniable light of the gospel in her eyes. It never stops to amaze me, the literal light that comes in to the face of those who are baptized. What is more is you know that they can feel the change.
                                       The Bad news is the screen on my camera broke....it still works, but taking a picture on a Digital camera without a screen is like driving a car without a steering wheel, there isn't alot of point to it. You can turn it on and step on the gas, but where are you going to go? You have no ideah. So really I don't know what to do because 
                                     We are going to the Central of Lima again, so that's cool, I have my broken Camera, and my memory card, so I'll try to send pictures. The Weather is getting warmer, and the mountains are starting to turn green, not with grass, but with more f an moss sort of thing. Also During the winter there is always a thick depressing fog around lima, but the sun is starting to come out, and boy it is incredible! Lima is literally bul in the mountains, not around them. Every wichway you look you just see more and more of the hunched backs of the mountains that ar safely guarding the sea of brick and cement houses that cover the stretching mountain covered land as fare as the eye can see. 
                                   As the weather gets warmer people start to sell different brands of Icecream, that really don't hold up to American Icecream, that's not USA pride it's just the truth, low quality icecream is low quality icecream no important what country you are in. Also I am in a one of the largest cities in south america, but just about everyone has chickens or ducks, or some other farm animal in their house. Hope all is going well back home. Love Elder Roos.

La conferencia general

9/30/13
     All is going well down here is Perú, something I forgot to add in other letters is I can now say I am of Preú because I have eaten Alpaka, I haven't eaten Llama yet but Alpaka is good enough for me. Not many people eat it here so I've only had the chance once, but I liked it. Hope Everyone is doing well Love Elder Roos.
Here's some pictures!



10/7/13

 I hope you all watched Conference, because it was mind blowing. I will not lie, I have always tried very hard to have meaningful Conference experiences  but this was possibly the 2nd or 3rd Conference that I was able to stay awake for the whole thing, but it really was incredible  and it's was good to feel in myself and in many of the Lords investigators to know that there is a prophet on the earth today. Most of you are wondering where did I watch Conference, and what language did I watch it in. Simply we just watched it in the stake center, which also happens to be where our ward meats, so it really wasn't a change for me, but we had some luck, and all the Gringos were able to sit together in a small room and whats it in English! Fun fact, alot of the jokes don't go through through the translation, so it was nice to watch it in my native Idioma.
              Preú is slowly getting warmer... and I mean slowly, but slow and steady. Elder Mendosa rocks, and we have alot in common, he was studying graphic art, before his mission so the guy can really draw. Also he was something of an actor too before his mission, so that's nice. well all is going well down here and I hope you don't take snow for granted, because in about a month I'm going to fry like a potato....Love you all. Elder Roos 

Friends, Friends are good! Really I enjoy to hear about the little things in life back home like work and the weather (not sarcasm)

P.S. Donald would like to sell all of his comic book stuff, so I'll post pictures on Facebook for things that you can buy. (The missionary bug has bit him, and he doesn't care about the world anymore.)
