Familia!
This week was
great. Last Monday we had a party for Elder Clawson here in the office.. it’s
dope, the tradition here in Peru is that you smash eggs and flour on their
heads.. it’s funny :) Monday night, I spent the night in the Hospital with Elder
Yujra... we had a party :) haha! But he’s
doing really well now... they let him out on Wednesday and he’s up and walking
normal now. BUT, I did learn some things at the hospital. Remember how I
told you that the mosquitos are really bad here? So they’re now carrying 2 super bad diseases.
The first one is called Dengue and the second is worse.. it’s called
Chikungunya. A lot of the missionaries have been getting sick lately..
especially in Tumbes.
Tuesday I got
to go on splits with a good friend of mine in the mission.. Elder Smith from
California. We were talking about the Atonement of Christ and he said
something quite interesting… that maybe the sin isn’t that important to God..
because His Son already paid for them.. but what’s important is that we use the
atonement to come closer to Him.
Tuesday night
we got pizza... GLORIOUS
Wednesday was
just peachy as well :) We had a lesson with Hermana Franchesca about
repentance. We talked about Enos and how he gave everything he had into his
prayer, and then he was forgiven and how we should follow his example.
Thursday we
had a zone meeting. It turns out there’s
4 people in my zone that were with me in the CCM. It was super good to see them all again. Elder Haws, Hogge, McCelwain, and Hermana
Shumway. Later in the day we helped the family Gomez redecorate a room... we
got lasagna after oh yeah.. win win plus
plus! ANYWAYS... we were walking home from this service activity and I see
a lemon on the road so did what any 18 year old boy would do... I kicked it.
Hard. It bounced for a while... the wind must of blew it or something cause it
hit the bumper of a car and the alarm went off... haha! We just kept walking like nothing
happened. Stupid. Stupìd.
Stupid.
Friday was
dope. I went on splits with Ledwey Lengua.. I dont know if I told you
about him but he served with Cody in Resistencia.. It was so fun talking to him
about the mission and what he remembered about Cody. He told me that he was always super energized
and had such a strong desire to work. It made me a little trunky. I miss him.
Saturday we
started our fast. We fasted for a family of investigators that were
teaching. I think I’ve told you about
them before. We fasted that they would
have a desire to get married, and then get baptized. Stay tuned.
Yesterday, Sunday was great. I always love fast Sundays in Peru... very
different than in the Utah :) Haha! But
it was good. I had the opportunity to
share my testimony with the ward. I had been thinking a ton about the
Atonement so i talked a little bit about that. The spirit was strong.
Yeah so check
this out... so there’s a large number of people here that speak Quechua, right?
It’s like the native indigenous Incan language.. So now that my Spanish is
better I’m picking up a little Quechua.
:) Tucui sonjoy warmi. wasiiki munay. yaku nini apu.
Love you
guys... hope you have a great week :) les extraño! :)
