Illimo

9 July 2012

Hey Family

     Sorry for the delay in the internet. Outside of Chiclayo the internet gets pretty slow. I actually find myself missing the city which is weird because never in my live have I liked cities. But, I do miss Chiclayo. We are in Chiclayo today. It was really fun for me because we found a member from Amautas here. It was a lot of fun seeing him again.

     The work in Illimo is going.  We are going to be out there again on Wednesday. We found 2 families who are at the very least, available to help us. One is excited to have missionaries; the other doesn't really care, but he was a lot more excited the second time we found him, so we will see.  Then we found another sister who is now a JW.  We are still working on Illimo!   I  hope that we will have 6 more weeks with Illimo, but it is possible that we will have only 2 more.   As of right now, we have 6 or 7 investigators there,  2 more or less active families and 1 inactive family who is at least willing to talk to us.   The people there for the most part have never seen members of the church or the church so many are very willing to talk to us.   It's a nice change and Illimo is really big.   It's like 3 time larger than Jayanca or something like that.   So, we will see.

     Well sounds like the house is a party. I hope all is going well there.   Put a couple beds in the garage and everyone will be fine!    All is well out here.   Elder Perez and I are working a little better  here. He´s still going to have a tough mission, but at the least we are working well in this area. I have not gotten your package yet, but I will get it tomorrow.   I talked with my ZLs and they have it.  They will bring it to me tomorrow.   It's a bit slower to get packages out here because of the distance from Chiclayo.    Oh, and my comp wanted scriptures in English.   Thats what he is looking for.   He wants to learn to speak English and learn the scriptures in English. Could you find the scriptures in English in the smaller size?   Also,  I don´t know if you have been keeping track of my bank account, but I have pulled out money a couple of times.   Also, I will need to pull out money again today. I sent a package home today addressed to the Thomson Family.   It's for Paisley. Her Birthday is the 28th.   Could you get the package to her?   I felt I ought to send something home to her for her brithday because she sent me a fairly decent sized package for my birthday.   If you would sent that to her I would appreciate it.

     Well this week is pretty much the same.   We have 3 families here who look like they could be baptized soon so we have a lot of hopes for them.    Aside from that, we have a great deal of Catholics.

     That is about it for this area this week. I love you all.   I hope that you all have a great week.

 Have a party in the house!

Love,  Elder Thomson
