Familiaaa
Como estan?
:) This week was great. Monday we played some volleyball and yes, I loved it.
After, we had plans to go to Chilis because yes there’s a Chilis here in
Piura.. it’s like the only American restaurant.. and when we showed up..... it
was closed. ha, just my luck. Later in the night, a new Elder from California
got to the mission and we were stuck giving presentations all night that we
couldn’t get out to our area.
Tuesday oh my
word, ELDER BEDNAR IS COMING TO THE MISSION!!!!! Not kidding, when I heard I
about jumped right out of my trousers.. Well, he’s not actually coming to OUR
mission, rather the mission below us, Chiclayo. Anyways, it’s about 6
hours away so we´ll be getting in a bus the end of August and drive down there
to hear him speak. We´re all super excited :)
I also had an
interview with President Rasmussen on Tuesday... the first one! It was more of
a "get to know" you interview but yeah I see him every day so it wasn’t
anything super special :) He truly is an amazing man though, I can feel and see
the spirit dwell in him. Hermana Rasmussen is as good as ever.. a little
stressed adapting to the whole mission life but I’m trying to do everything I
can to make her feel better :)
Wednesday..
well Elder Rollins (office elder) has had stomach problems for like 7 months
and needed to go to the clinic and no one wanted to go cause they were
"too busy".. anyways, I volunteered to go and we ended up having a
great time :) We got to the clinic at 10 AM and didn’t return until 4PM...
Peruvian doctors.. it’s ridiculous.
Later that
night we had a lesson with a less active that’s progressing super quickly.. Her
name is Fatima, and she’s already attended like 4 times in a row. ANYWAYS, we
were teaching her and her daughters friend walked in the door and apparently
wanted to say hi to me... she shook my hand, leaned down, and straight kissed
me! I was shocked but more than anything ridiculously uncomfortable.. anyways
Elder Nosa got a good laugh out of it so that’s all that matters, right? :)
Thursday I
had a work visit with Elder Lamoreaux from Mesa, Arizona. I actually
really, really enjoyed it. He likes almost all the things that I like! haha
Friday was Elder Edwards birthday so we smashed some eggs on his head and
ate some chocolate muffin type thing... it wasn’t very good. But he was
happy and that’s all that really matters, right? :)
Sunday our
investigators Oscar Cunya and the Garcia Tipismana family attended church. We
talked a lot about the Atonement and that we all understand what it is... we
have a knowledge of the event, but are we truly applying it every day?
The Garcia Tipismana
family invited us over Sunday night for a small "birthday party" for his
mom that lives with them. It was a surprise party and it was super fun.
Little did we know, Nestor Garcia invited over a Mariachi Band and they
just entered and started singing at the top of their lungs... it was quite the
experience... first time I’ve seen anything like it :)
This week was
great. Still loving the misison :)
espero que
tengan una buena semana! :) no caigan!
