en verdad no quiero escribir una titilo, entonces voy a escribir en un otro Idioma

Hello Family and Everyone.

                                       So yeah my Birthday is tomorrow, and thanks for all of your Birthday wishes and things. I have not gotten anything yet but that just because the mail is really slow here but when they come I will let you all know.

                                      They sing the happy birthday song in English here, and really the only different thing that they do here is crack eggs on your head for your birthday, but I dont think that is going to happen to me.

                                     Life is going good here in South america, we are teaching this 78 year old man named Victor. This man sits on a pile of rocks all day and reads the Bible, that all he does all day, just sits on a pile of rocks and reads the bible. Well I know that this gospel changes lives, because now this man sits on a pile of rocks and reads the Book of Mormon. About a day after we game him the Libro de Mormon, during a lesson he started to cry and he began to tell us that his brother and alot of other people had come by and told him that this book was evil, because the other churches didnt read this book, and he looked up from his dirty humble throne of stones and broken cement, and with tears in his eyes and a tremble in his voice he said " how can it not be the word of god? It talks about the savior...it talks about the savior" and then he continued to weep. In the first lesson with Vicor we taught him how to pray, and we asked him to say the closing prayer and he looked at us and said, "I dont know how to pray, I never practiced" and we then explained that god just wanted to hear what he had on his heart and on his mind, and after he prayed I asked him how he felt, and he just smiled and started to cry.

                                  I know that this gospel is true and God loves his children so he has sent this gospel to bless our lives, thank you for all those people who helped me get here on my mission and follow the path of happiness. I love you all and I will talk to you next week love Elder Roos.

Amado Familia Mio,

                           So the highlight of my week is we had another baptism this week, and the funny thing is, she chose me to preform the baptism. I have only been here for a week and I have had my first baptsm. Another funny fact I thought of this week, is all of the converts that I have had a part in baptizing have been women, I think its something about the men down here, they are kind of raised to be prideful so I just think the women folk are more prepared for the message.

                          The other part of the title is white skin, just because I feel white, its going to be weird to go back to a place where they don't shout HELLO at you every time you pass them on the streets. Another fun part of this week is the banned bicycles in the whole mission, which kind of stinks because I have been waiting for a biking mission forever, and we finally get one and...we cant use them. So I'm going to have some killer leg muscles when I get done with this area.

                       Over all things are going well, we working with some new people and always trying to find new ones. My companion is trying to learn English and I think he is learning English faster than I am learning spanish, but things in that aspect are going well ,I  am still trying to master the skill of reading in spanish, mostly because it is really hard to focus when reading in a different language.

                        Hope things are going well for all of you talk to you next week. Love Elder Roos. 

Peru', pero al sur

Hola hermano famila mio,

                                   So I think the reason why no one wrote me this week, is because my companion forgot to hit send on my email last week, after my time ran out.

                                   Entonces, My letter last week was about the fact that people have Halloween here, but not really. They know what it is and you might find of kids and dressed up knocking door to door but not really. Also the baptism with Maribel went well.

                                    This week I have a lot to talk about, because alot has happened. I got transferred! The Lima south mission has two parts, The Lima part (where I was) with bad air, alot of dogs, and ALOT of houses. Part two is called "the south" it is not Lima, it covers a large area of the southern half of perú, I am in a Town called Chincha. I can not see the Ocean but I am told we are like 5 minutes away, and we go there almost every P-day.

                                     My Companion is Elder Yucra, he has one less transfer than I do and in fact, I had to teach the last two lessons of his training, so these past few days have been one learning experience after another. He looks to me as a leader during the lessons, which is kind of hard, because i my head I am thinking, "hey was in your spot yesterday." However that is something that has helped alot, because I can take what I learned from my last comp. and use them on Elder Yucra, in fact I find myself saying some of the same exact things as Elder Mendoza. I am going to learn a lot here, and after I left the city I felt the stress melt away from my body. I love it here, I saw the stars for the first time in almost half a year, I see fields of tropical fruit every day, I hear the birds singing out my window in the morning instead of dogs, angry people, and cars. We have had 2 people comit to a baptism date, and I am finally confident in my spanish. I love you all so very much! Love Elder Roos.
