My new area is really cool it is two hours outside of Lima so I am way north. It is really cold and foggy every morning. My area is Pativilca the closest town is Barranca. There is one main highway that links to Lima and the northern cities that goes up through the town.
The beach is not to close but it is kind of a beach town this morning on the way to breakfast I saw a car pass with a bunch of boards on the roof. We eat avocado every morning for breakfast with bread and butter with hot water coco powder and sugar. The other day I was so hungry I bought two dozen rolls and gave four to my comp and ate the rest. I got another needy comp but I like my area and he helps more with my Spanish.
The people are a little crazier out here then in Lima. We are in a branch there were 20 people at church on Sunday. I am learning with my comp that if you have something and they don’t it’s theirs also. The branch president wanted my camera to take pictures of some lady that got a wheel chair from the church and I said look this camera has all my mission pictures on it so I went with him to take the pictures and helped him put them on the computer.
Before I forget give this scripture to Stephanie Alma chapter 37 verses35 37 I found it the other morning and thought it was good just replace son with daughter.
It sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun I love to hear from you every week. I love you and I will talk to you in a week got to go.
Love

Hey family,
That is rad that you guys went to a Padre game. I forgot all about how much fun their games are. It sounds like you guys had and exciting week and school is almost over so I bet you are all excited.
Well this week was good for me to. Well the beginning was hard but it got way better. On Monday for P-day we went to this big park and five other zones in our area came. All the North Americans played american football. It was fun, but one of the workers of the park juked us because we were gringos and made us pay 2 sols each just to rent the field for an hour.
The Lord blessed me so much this week. On Tuesday one of the elders in our zone got called to the offices. So his comp was alone, so he stayed with us for the week and I got to learn a new area because we worked in his area to. It really lightened things up between my companion and me. The week got a lot better, we taught a lot of good people in both areas.
Yesterday was a great blessing for me I spoke in sacrament meeting again and my comp said it was powerful and my pronunciation was really good and after church a lot of the members started giving us references. We are teaching a man who is really progressing and is going to be baptized this weekend we taught him and his girl friend last night the plan of salvation and the spirit really helped me to teach, and then in our last appointment I felt so happy and grateful because it is so nice at times to just be able to teach with the Spirit and let it guide and help me to remember things.
To top it all off I’m being transferred on Wednesday. To Barranca it is about two hours north of here.
Love and talk to you next week. Love you so much!

Thank you for telling me all about grandma and grandpa’s party and wish I could give them a big hug right now. I’m glad to hear that grandma and grandpa’s party went well but did you get my letter?
We had a multi-zone meeting this week and there is an Elder Hixson in my mission he doesn’t know Brad and Jeanette though he is from Sandy. He is new like me; well he is on his second change. He is cool and I asked him what he was doing to cope, he said pray. I miss my old area and my old comp. The food is worse here. The plumbing here is really weird they don’t have hot water but they have a circuit breaker switch next to the shower and two wires going into a plastic shower head. I guess the wires are hooked up to two little probes inside the shower head that heat the water as it comes out. The other morning I was showering and my elbow touched the shower head and it shocked me.
In your last letter dad asked for my address to send goodies. Please don’t send a lot but maybe send some power bars and normal food and maybe some food to help keep my strength, also some Pepto-Bismol pills and Tums. Please don’t send a lot!
How is Craig doing? I wrote him two letters before I left the CCM.
The other night I was in a teaching appointment with a family. I was going to start the lesson but my comp started by rattling off something about prophets and then was looking at me to teach. I was frustrated because that is not the way you should teach and my comp really bugs. But I just took a deep breath and started teaching, my frustration left me and I was able to teach by the spirit.
Tell everyone that I love them; oh it is really expensive to send letters here so I might send a pouch of letters later, and will you just mail them to the right people please. Oh please ask questions about anything that you want to know about. I love you all so much and will talk to you soon.
Love Elder Little
