How is everyone doing? I hope good. It was really good to
hear from all of you. LOTOJA sounds awful but i am really glad you
finished. The BYU game sounds like it was awesome! that has turned
into one of the hardest things for me to miss, college football. But
keep sending me the scores, i promise i wont let it distract me. Well
this week has been quite the experience.....
It really has been hard. On Wednesday we went back
over to hermano Santiagos house for a noche de hogar. He told us that
he would make us some Peruvian food. All it was was a huge plate of
rice and potatoes and this disgusting spicy sauce. My companion was
having a hard time with the spiciness so he got out these glasses that
looked kind of gross and poured some soda into it. Once he finished his
drink he noticed that there was something in the bottom of the glass.
It was mold.
We left his house feeling super gross. That night i
had a dream that i got shot in the stomach and was looking for a
hospital. And then i woke up with awful stomach pain. I got out of my
sleeping bag and then went to the bathroom and threw up for about 10
minutes. That pretty much describes my next two days. My companion
was also super sick. We couldn't leave the house and it was awful.
Well that took up lots of the week but we have been
able to do some real missionary work as well. We have given 4 blessings
to members and 1 to a less active. We have given a whole bunch of
lessons. But none of our investigators seem to be progressing a whole
lot. It is really hard. And it is even harder because i cant understand
this language very well. This is not Spanish. It is some other thing.
i have never seen peoples mouths move so fast... its ridiculous. Even
when i ask them to slow down they still sound like they are going a million miles an hour. but it will be good, because once i get this
dialect down i will be able to speak any form of Spanish.
This week has been nothing but rain. I think i have
seen the sun once. and that was last Monday. It rains a ton here, but
at least it is starting to get warmer. It no longer is 40 ever morning
it has been bumped up to about 55 degrees.
I love this place! it is super cool. But on the 11th i don't think it will be super cool. all of the members have been warning
us about that day because it is the 30th anniversary of the big
uprising. It is supposed to be dangerous, and seminary has been canceled
because no one wants to leave their houses. But we will be out there!
Trying to contact some people. It should be fun.
Love you guys a lot! i cant wait to hear from you next week.
Love,
Elder Steamer
