That is great to hear that the hole is finally being filled and that your stress
levels will go down. Ya things are pretty hot here, but it could be worse, it
could be a chicago heat!
The work flew by this week. It is the last week of the change and i still dont
know if i will be staying or going, so ill be sure to put it in my letter next
week from wherever im at! Our work this week has been focused on a few people.
Milagros and Fernando and his mother Juana. Milagros will probably be baptized
either this week or the next one depending on her interview with the stake
president. And Fernando had his baptism this last week! It was fantastic and
the best part was to see how happy his mother was. She wants to be baptized so
bad, but she needs to wait until she gets married. So now she has extra
motivation to get married!
The days are going by quicker, which is a blessing and a curse. But one really
good thing has been going on lately at night. I have been having more and more
dreams in spanish. But the funny thing is that the latins speak english and the americans speak spanish!
I actuallly had a dream with Jake Heaps in it, and we were both speaking spanish
to one another in the MTC. Kinda weird but super cool at the same time.
Hopefully all of my dreams will be in spanish soon! My spanish is coming along
very well, now it comes down to learning more words. And cleaning up the
grammer a little bit.
I have felt more and more at home here in Peru. Its not weird walking the
streets and talking to random people. I rather enjoy it more than sitting in
our basement watching the golf channel. Hard to imagine, but its true haha. The
members are still a blast, and more and more are starting to like me and get to
know me. It helps too when you know some spanish!
Here are some pictures of the life down here. The man in the black shirt is
Amner, and he is a super smart convert to the church that served his mission in
Chile. We talk to him a lot about those weird doctrines and what not.
I love you all and am so thankful for your support. And i finally received my package!!! Only one
month for bigger boxes, and a week and a half for those envelope things. Oh and
the get fuzzy calendar is EXACTLY what i wanted!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
