Elder Seljaas on his 19th birthday…makes you love those people who make your children cakes and are so good to our boys! I love South American culture!

It is pretty fun here in Peru. Especially because I’m living like a millionaire with hot water and carpet. This is the first time that I have seen carpet in Peru. Only in my room and in the temple. Also we have a hot water knob and a cold water knob in the shower, I forgot that existed.

I am about an hour away from the mission home. I am at the border of Lima South. My stake center is the offices of Lima South. Also my companion lived like five minutes from the temple that is being built in Tujillo so that is pretty cool. 

So we had to postpone the baptism until April. It was kind of sad, but it’s alright. We also are working with a returned missionary and his daughter who went inactive because of work. His daughter isn’t baptized. So we will work with them. The work here in the area is kind of slow, but there have been some good missionaries here so when I came there were people to work with. Most of them have already been baptized.

It sounds like the sports life is going pretty good. I kind of miss march madness, but not really. It is weird to think about sports especially because I have no idea what is going on. Be careful with the healthy food it will get you fat. I eat nothing healthy here. I don’t know if it exists. Also every house we go to offers us soda and they get offended if we don’t accept it. So I am super out of shape and I might be getting a little fat. Oh well hopefully someday I will be ripped.

Life here is going pretty good. I got the package you guys sent me and the zit cream is already working pretty well. Also I already finished eating all the sweets. My companion ate a lot too. Also I like my area right now because there is a member that always comes with us so we can teach more people. So that is cool.

Also right now I am excited because General conference is coming up. That is Christmas for a missionary. So that should be fun. Also it sounds like school is coming to an end at home. Just a couple months left. Wow that is crazy. They will be leaving on their missions soon. Hopefully someone will come to my mission. I do have Elder Anderson though. We always talk about life when we see each other. 

Well good luck with all that is going on at home. Know that I am doing awesome here in an area that has KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. I might spend a little more money here jaja. I still haven’t used my card though. I don’t think I will. 30 bucks a month from the mission is good enough.

Love,

Elder Seljaas
