The Move

This week was a little more packed than usual. On pday we had plans to go to chan chan as a district but some things kinda fell and my district leader had an emergency exchange and so we ended up going to the zoo that was nearby. This time at the zoo there was an iguana on the loose and we caught it and took some pics and afterwards we didn´t know how to get it back in it´s habitat so we just put it on the roof. 

Then we got our apartment approved on Wednesday. It still doesn´t have light, hot water, or toilet seats yet, so I’ve been having to get used to that. Anyways we pay the rent on the 1st and 15th of every month so Thursday morning we packed up all our things then we had some interviews with the president and got back finished packing and we asked our member friend to ask in his group chat to see if anyone has a car that  can carry our stuff. The old bishop that lives below us owns a bus that he drives for work and so we squeezed all of our stuff through the tiny bus doors except for one desk that only fit halfway and my comp held onto from the inside. We got all our stuff loaded and set up our bed and it was 6pm. We had dinner with a member family because we haven´t found a new pensionista yet then we had ward council.

Our zone leaders came over the next day to take care of some stuff and while we were talking on our porch this man passed and asked us to visit him and his family and his sister and her family who live in the same development. Then as we were tallking to the zone leaders about how we still need a pension this lady walks by and started talking how a few years ago she gave pension to missionaries like us and owns a kitchen. So I’m starting to like this new location.

This week we built a coral for some ducks out of the wood and nails we could find in this lady´s yard.

Also we´ve been in a trio for a few days now with Elder Lengua and last night after the Christmas devotional we didn´t have time to go to our pension so we just stayed the night at Lengua´s and there were only two beds, but we managed.
