Monday: YOu all know what happened, I had flippin Pday. And i got fried playing basketball, volleyball and football americano.
Tuesday: We had a bunch of citas fall through so we just proselyted for most of the day. We found this young 14 year old girl named Evelyn who was kinda interested. But the craziest thing that happened that day was we had tried to visit so many people but seriously no one had time or was gone. So we were gonna head back to the house to do our studying. As we were walking back, i said to elder chamberlain, hey lets get some food, im kinda hungry. So we just found the closest tienda to us and i bought some ice cream. As I was buying, i heard elder chamberlain talking in english and i thought, what the heck is he doing? I looked at him and he was talking to some latino guy! So i joined in and he had perfect english!! His name was Armando and he lived in denver colorado for 2 years and now is a english teacher in Sicuani!! So we talked with him and it was hilarious cause he was calling us homie and stuff like that haha. One time he just straight up said to us, what are you doing here? So that was the perfect opportunity to tell what we were why we are here, he was super interested and said he would like to visit us!! so we got his number and are going to call him tomorrow!! It was so cool!!
Wednesday: On wednesday we went to pitumarca and just straight up tried to find people the whole day and man it was hard. We found 2 new people to visit and also recieved a small assignment from the bishop to help this couple prepare to get married. I have no idea right now what we will teach them and what we need to do but we are gonnna chat with the bishop to find out haha. We talked to this one guy named Nicolas, who had a ton of questions and just wanted to talk, but we shared something short with him and set another time to visit haha.
Thursday: We had a little more success, we talked to a small family of a single mom with 3 kids. and we have been teaching them for a while so we think and hope we can get them baptized cause they have super strong desires and know the gospel is true, just a littlt ebit of trouble with the sabbath day is all they need help with really. We met with a non active member named Ma Yumi, she has some physical disabilities that prevent her from coming to church but she liked our visit so that was super nice. Her family is also working like all the time so they never have time to come to church sadly, but I know we can help them out with that.
Friday: All day friday we were in cusco for Zone conference and it was super dope and super fun. I saw a bunch of elders i hadnt seen in a while so that was awesome. Zone conferences are so fun here in sicuani cause we get to go to cusco when we arent even close really. We learned alot and i had a great interview with president and gave us a goal to have at least one baptism per month. We are working hard to get that goal too haha.
Saturday: Saturday we drove home and just went to pitumarca for like 2 hours and yup not a whole lot happened. Just met with the couple to let them know we are gonna help them out with their matrimony.
Sunday: We went to Pitumarca for church and my comp loved it. But we came back right after and had some citas and started to clean a ton cause we were worried The president was gonna come and look at our rooms! haha. But it was super awesome.
MOnday: Today we cleaned the whole joint. Then we went to the leaders house and played a bunch of board games, it was super fun and we all thought the president was gonna join us but he never did. After we went to a resturant to eat lunch with the elders in our district.
That was my crazy week, we had a couple of drunk guys try to chase us down to make us try and visit their houses but other than that, it was a super fun week!
I love you all and miss you tons!!
