Week #21 Dec. 31, 2018

Pitumara, Peru

Haha man i wish i could have some snow instead of rain haha. But i still like the rain more than the freaking heat. Have fun sledding in the snow!! man that sounds awesome!!1. Oh yay for Carter!! He will be great i know it, i never had a big culture shock, i think mostly cause i was in the CCM (or MTC) in peru. That was a big help, i honelstly think that if i was in Utah MTC i would have gone home haha. It might be different for him, but he had some time away from home so hopefully that will help him haha. 

Haha sounds like all the original people from the ward came back!! how exciting. I miss skiing, i always look at the pictures of us skiing and aaahhahahah its hard haha.  And Kayd and Jordan are finally having a baby!! Oh thats dope!!!

So this week was different, mostly cause we couldnt really work for a couple days, the p day, christmas, and then i went to cusco and had exchanges on wednesday. Cusco was alright, i stayed the night at the leaers house, and it was honestly like a huge slumber party, seriously almost all the missionaries in our zone were there, ya not very good. A bunch of wickedness it is. 

woke up at 5 to go to cusco, got there at 7 30ish, 2 hours there, then 3 hours back to sicuani, then i spent the day with the other leader of our zone, Elder LLanos from bolivia, he seriously did not want to do anything. He said to he, im hungry, wanna eat, and then later, you want to go sleep. I had to seriously tell him, DUDE WE HAVE TO WORK RIGHT NOW! so we visited one member and that was it, then we tried to find others but had no success. Man it was difficult. 

Saturday we went to Pitumarca, we found these 2 new people to teach, we had visited this house one time before and a guy said we could come back. So we knocked on the door and this lady was there and let us right on in and let us sit down. She said she could understand spanish, but could only speak quechua. So we talked to her for a bit. and then after that her daughter came in and translated everything for us. BOth of them were awesome and wanted to hear more so hecks ya!!!! It was awesome. 

Yesterday we spent the day in sicuani and man it felt weird to be back in a normal ward or church building! IM kinda sad that church meetings are now going to be shorter, its gonna be way different. today we watched 17 miracles and it was soo good. I love that movie!!. 

Mom im so glad i had the chance to talk to you guys on christmas, right now i feel like i told you nothing, and im sorry for that, i promise next time ill answer more of your questions. We are having a zone conference in cusco this week, and then next pday i go to machu picchu, ill take tons of pics for you guys!! I love you all tons and hope you all ha
