HOLA!!
Wow! Everything sounds like it is on the up and up!! (Relient K)
Well anyways I am glad to hear things are getting better!
Oh news to Brayden! That is awesome! and with permission you can use my [LaCrosse]stick in Heather’s house but with care! Cuidado porfavor! [translation: Please be careful!]
[NOTE: Brayden is on the Woods Cross LaCrosse team (grades 5 & 6). He kicked butt on
Saturday scoring twice and one assist.]
So this week was OK. We are really trying to find people to teach right now and walking like crazy! I have no trouble sleeping, with the help of my earplugs :) but yeah I ate something interesting the other day.. It was in my soup and it is called Malleja. It translates to be gizzard... :( HAHAHA It was not bad but for those who don’t know the gizzard is like the garbage valve of your intestines.... GROSS!!
We also almost got mauled by an insane and absolutely ridiculously scary PitBull.. WOW!! It was total body in the air jumping at me and everything, luckily there was a chain. :) But freaking scary nonetheless. We had a baptism Saturday, but the one to be baptized did not show up and apparently won’t be baptized for a bit. He does not want problems with his family which is tough and it hit me hard; I was crying a bit... it is so sad that the traditions of their fathers keep the people here from receiving the ordinances of salvation. Anyways we are going to work on it.
All is good here. Not much time. Super busy! I love you all and you are all in my prayers!! Keep the faith and work work work!!
Love Jett Hudson Elder Hudson
PS An English hymn book would be so so so sweet!! :)

Hello!!
Well just when things get settled down they get stirred back up again! HAHA
So we have 3 more weeks until the next transfer and I already have a new companion. :) ha ha So my other companion had a problem in our area and got transferred on Friday… an emergency transfer. So now I am with Elder Sanchez. He also is from Guatemala and he is really cool. I actually get to teach with him. It is like we are equal now; he is awesome. We do not know the area very well, the both of us, because my other comp taught me nothing of the area so we are both learning together and it is getting better. We are struggling finding people to teach but have two baptisms coming up one on Saturday and the other on 2 May. Our goal for the mission is to have 505 Baptisms this month of May, so we are fasting together as a mission and sleeping in our baptismal clothes May 1. :) It is our act of faith; our stone like the brother of Jared. :) To reach the goal each companionship has to have 5 baptisms. We can Do It!! So on Friday we also had another baptism of Deisy, A single mom of 23. But that was the day that my companion left and was supposed to baptize her. so it was a little crazy but Elder Nilsson, the zone leader I spent the day with waiting for my new comp, got it done and I baptized Deisy. :) It is so cool to have the opportunity to baptize and preach the gospel. WOW.
So yeah, the best place to send letters and packages is to the mission home which is the package address on those cards Dad printed. That is the best. Just put my full name and mission and all that Jazz on there. Send packages through the United States Postal Service.
Mission Home Address:
Peru Lima North Mission
Carlos Salaverry 3664
Urb. Panamericana
Los Olivos
Lima Peru
Right now I am working on writing everyone letters and I am going to send it as a package to home and hope that you can distribute them all or send them on. It is $2.50 per letter to send home so this is WAY easier and cheaper. I get to call home on Mother’s Day so get excited! :) HA HA I will give more details later.
I love you all so much!! Thanks for your prayers and support.
505!! Your Elder in all of your hearts ;)

Baptisms
Hola!!
So I tried to send an email last week and it apparently did not get sent..... :( lo siento.... Well it said that I have two baptisms already, Allison and Flor Milagros. They are 11 and 9. Allison reminds me a lot of Becca. :) I can’t believe I had the chance to baptize already :) it was an amazing experience and very spiritual. I am so blessed to be a part of this work and to be having success. The Sunday after their baptism they were confirmed during sacrament meeting and to my surprise Flor wanted me to confirm her as well. WOW I was honored but unfortunately do not know Spanish… so my comp did it and I was in the circle with him and the bishop. It was still an amazing experience. Yeah that is pretty much the big stuff. I will try sending it again.
Let me know if you get any of these. Well this last week we had one more baptism and confirmation and it was awesome. He is 18 and his name is Miguel. It was so funny during his testimony after the baptism his phone rang and he apologized and pulled it out to turn it off… so we thought. He answered his phone and talked for a few minutes and then closed his testimony in the name of Jesus Christ. HAHAHA it was hilarious!! What a baptism he is a great young man. All is good here; working hard and trying my best. My Spanish is getting better, and my English is getting worse. :) HA HA but really all is great! I am a little homesick sometimes and frustrated with the language but that is when I just try harder and work harder. General conference was AMAZING I loved it. It was like Christmas. :) I hope you all watched it. Well today I am going to the center of Lima with my Zone! Should be fun! :) Well stay strong all of you!! I love you more than you will ever know! Nos Vemos! [apparently he is still near Lima... ??? I hope he tells us more about who his comp is and where he is assigned.]
Con Amor Elder Jett Hudson
