Hey Everybody!
First i have some bad news for everyone, i can no longer use pouch mail to send you guys letters. So sorry that i cant write you guys anymore, but when i find a way i will try to do so. It only adds another challenge to life out here in Bayovar.
This week has gotten a little better. We still dont have anyone to teach, but things are looking better for us in the future. I dont know how, but i have a little more faith that its going to happen soon.
This week has been really crazy for us out here. On Friday, we went to the doctors office in the night for my companion. It took us one hour and a half to get there, and then once we got to the hospital, another bad thing happened. The doctor wasnt in the office that day. So we had to just turn around and go home. We searched for a taxi for two hours and we couldnt find one. Finally we found one to take us home. It was a waste of a day, and a waste of 40 soles. I was a little mad, but i got over it quickly. Saturday was even worse in a million ways. We have this one woman named Jenny that wants to get baptized and was going to get married on Saturday. We had an Alcalde, that can marry people, ready to go on saturday in a city called Chosica. Well saturday was as follows. I got a call from the couple on saturday saying that they were ready to go at 7. I was still waiting permission from my leaders so i told them to wait. We went to breakfast, but i was dumb and locked my keys in my room. So when we came back we just waited until the locksmith was in his tienda. We did use the telephone of the other elders to call the zone leaders, and they told us that there are no weddings in chosica today. The alcalde had flacked out. Well as we waited, the sister of the couple came to us at 930 asking us why we werent at their house. Everyone, that is their family, is in the bus and ready to go. We told them that there wont be weddings and they were devestated. I then had to tell the couple. They too were devestated and almost killed us, literally. We found out of some other mas group matrimonies here in san juan de lurigancho, so we left to go their. We got there at 1130 when they had already ended the ceremony. From there, everyone started to fight, and then they turned against us saying that we were the guilty ones for this. After about an hour and a half of this, we went home. They went to their house to eat the lunch that they already had prepared. After we ate we went to their house to visit them. Jenny, who wants to be baptized, understood that it wasnt our fault, and was still looking forward to getting married and baptized. This helped us out a lot too. They day continued pretty normal, and then the night came. While we were in our room, we got a call from Hma. Luz, who lives around the corner from Jenny. She called us and told us that Jenny and her husband, are drunk in the street. That really broke me down. I wasnt mad, but just sad that it happened.
Another hard week it has been for me out here in Peru, but i still dont feel hopeless like i did before. I know that i am here for a reason, and i need not whine about my situation because there are worse situations.
Thank you for your prayers and love, i have really needed them this last week, and i still need them. I hope everything is well with the house, and that you are doing much better than me haha.

Love
Elder Washburn
