Week 8 Out of 78: Area 1 Sullana

So everything is great here we have a lot of investigators. And a lot of people will at least talk to us. The ward is pretty good.  Only 3 active members in our area.
The big thing here is El Niño. It’s supposed to rain for 4 months and well the houses here are not prepared for a flood... at all...  We will be fine, we may have to move apartments and we need emergency backpacks, but other than that it’s just going to be service for a few months... It is scaring a lot of people here but there’s a lot of construction preparing for it.  So this past week with Angel and Estrella, we are teaching them English after we teach them a lesson. We see Angel reading his BOM while he waits for someone to need him for a ride in his moto. He is a moto taxi driver. They both attended Gospel Principles Sunday morning along with Estrella’s 8 yr. old sister. They may be some of my favorites because Estrella is super patient with my Spanish and will correct me if I am wrong.  So somehow this week at the multi-zone meeting, Elder Meier and I, both brand new, have to sing a duet to a song I have never heard before... It is not an English hymn or no one could figure it out.. Any way that’ll be interesting with our accents.  Ha-ha.  Anyway I love it here, I love the people, I love the kids, and I love my mission.

Jo Dee had asked a few about her apartment and the area (looking a little less than modern).  Here are Katie’s responses:

We may have to move apartments because water may be get into our apartment. That might be a good idea because the people beneath us are always fighting.

You have no idea how 3rd world it is.  After el Niño.... so many people will be homeless....houses are just branches and some adobe. We have a nice area and a poorer area, but our area is one of the nicest here in Sullana.
