Painting Houses @ Christmastime!

Jake's email from December 2, 2013

Mom!

this week has gone bye very fast!  it was kind of disappointing not having thanksgiving, but the other north american elders and i are going to celebrate it today! they were cooking yesterday so we will see how that turns out!  this week was awesome though!  its pretty crazy that we just finished a transfer because it seems like i just got here!  this past week elder quille and i promised that we would try to go through the week with exact obedience, and it really paid off!  we found this family that had been attending church for around 8 months, but wasn't baptized because they weren't married (nobody is in peru) and we are going in for round two hahaha.  we also have another family that is progressing pretty well and I just felt really blessed this week!  I know that obedience is really one of the most important things in this life.  even if something seems small and unimportant, it is there for a reason and we will always receive blessings when we keep the commandments.  I have some pictures that i am going to send of this week, because elder quille and I were practicing our painting skills this week because everyone paints there house around Christmas  hahah. other than that all is well here. I got one card this week which was awesome! please keep those coming.  also if its possible, could you send us some sunblock, sunflower seeds, brownie mix, more peanut butter, twizzlers and a Christmas decoration for hna soledad (our pencionista)?  if you could that would be awesome, if not don't worry about it!  I wanted to send this email first to make sure I had enough time!

love
elder zundel
 
 
lthe first picture is vicente's brother hector or alberto.... he goes by both.  that's my alianza jersey and he is wearing it in saul cantoral which is pretty much crazy.  there are two gangs here, la u and alianza... they are both soccer teams and their fans are crazy.  hector used to really be in deep, but he got baptized and served a mission in guatemala and is so awesome!
