August 8, 2016 - Area #5 in Demetrio Acosta 2 in the Lambayeque Zone

Hello Friends and Family,

This week was a super fun adventure. My new are is Demetrio Acosta 2 in Zone Lambayeque. Initial thoughts of the area; our area is so big and it is split up into two parts, a super wealthy part and a really poor part. It’s like serving in two different worlds. It's super interesting to be able to serve in each part and see the ups and downs to both sides. The weather is perfect here and I really like Lambayeque. Our zone is really small. We have 18 missionaries in it, the smallest in the mission. My companion is Elder Salas from Santiago, Chile. I will finish up his training this change but I honestly feel like he is training me. He is an incredible missionary and is super good with the people. We teach as if we had been companions for our entire lives. We teach well and I know the people can feel the spirit when we share our message. He has lots of energy and a really goofy personality, something I really have been looking forward to. We laugh a lot. We have the best pension on this side of the equator. She owns a polleria (chicken restaurant). We eat what ever we want, whenever we want it. It is so amazing! I honestly feel like I'm living at Chuck O Rama.  On the down side, I gained 5 pounds this week, haha. Here in Demetrio Acosta it’s a branch of 100 members. I hope I will be able to be a part of two branches in my mission that get changed to a ward. It’s so amazing to see the restored gospel getting spread to all parts of the world. It makes me so happy to be a servant of my Father in Heaven. In simple words, I'm happy and I guess that’s what the gospel is all about.

Love,
Elder Goold
