Two 18 year old boys who are cousins and best friends, sent in their mission papers around the same time. The first got his mission call to the Peru Lima North Mission. The second recieved his two weeks later to the same mission, leaving on the same day. Now as 19 year old boys they have left their homes together to serve the Lord and enter the mission field. This is a blog of their experiences, letters and pictures.

Elder Collins
Well crazy stuff, crazy stuff. So this week ended up being transfers. My
ZL told me that i was going to train again. I was kind of bummed but
then accepted it. So we went to the stake center to announce the changes
and my zone leader just got up and said everything will be the
same...except E. Collins is going to Lima! What?! i didnt expect that at
all. I got really excited but also sad to leave Sisinio and Hna nancy. I
didnt know where i was going or anything only that i was going to Lima.
So i packed all night and said goodbye to sisinio and his family cried a
bit and went to Lima at like 8 in the morning. When i got out of the
car that picked me up out walks Elder Crump!! haha i gave him the
biggest hug! almost a year without seeing him and we are in the same
mission. and then next out walks Elder Fenn!
He was leaving to his area so he gave me a hug and said "ill see you
tomorrow" and i look at E. crump to know what that means and he just
says "ill explain later" After a little bit one of the assistants says
Elder Collins your comp is on his way to pick you up and you are the new
zone leader in the zone comas!! wow i really didnt expect that at all.
Nick was just laughing. We spent most of the day together which was
awesome! The next day was zone leader conference so thats
what fenn meant because he is zone leader to, so then we walked in to
see who is training and there is E. Richardson..Im together with my
group again. My new comp is Elder Ojeda from Bolivia, la paz. Hes is
really cool. At first i thought he was really rough but then i realized
he is really sarcastic. So we are zone leaders in the zone comas. We
have 2 areas! La Mar, and Libertadors. The ward La mar is awesome, its
like a
dream ward for
missionarys and its thanks to the bishop. We are like 10 min from the
offices so i see nick once a week. Also i have a cell phone now so i can
pretty much call him whenever i want and bug him haha!!! ill call you
too haha, nah! My zone is pretty great. Elder richardson in a district
leader in the zone. Its been struggling but hey im here to get it
to the celestial kingdom!!! Ive already changed a few things, i kind of
just assumed i could do that haha. Im just focusing a lot on how to help
the zone now. Its weird to be in lima. The restaurants are awesome but i
sure do miss the clean junlge air. city life is different but i know
ill adjust again. Pretty nuts I love you all and hope your all good. Ill
definitly need your prayers. Love reg
