November 11th Letter

MOM! I love you so much!! I’ll try and answer all your questions and be super informative this week :) I love you so much and miss you guys. First your questions...

i bought the cheapest camera they have only cost 100 dollars but there was a 2 year broken or stolen Peru guarantee so i paid 30 extra knowing your son I’ll include lots of pictures for you.

The camera is like my old one pretty much a little skinnier and black and it takes pictures ;) anyway haven’t got all those letters but i might be here soon. Christmas I think I’m going to buy a llama poncho :) some souvenirs for the girls and you guys. I’ll think about the 2 gifts for the 12 days and write you next week. Also I might buy a box of American cereal... Rumor has it there’s one on the other side of town, I don’t believe it. 

The letter

C is for conceptions Chinese food, Canadians, and Cool Runnings

First off - my area. I live in apartment with a bunk bed and two desks we live solo it has to bathrooms and a floor and a roof made of tin, i love it, include pictures next week, we live in pretty good circumstances. My pinchanista is a house over cooks over a fire and we eat on a dirt floor most days. i have someone who does my laundry. I wake up every morning exercise solo :) ha-ha sing songs and enjoy it, jump in a freezing shower, pull my companion out of bed, eat bread and jam and some juice. Put on my sweater and study Jesus the Christ. Than 8 i study personally and 9 companion. Then we leave we usually come back around 1ish and eat lunch its warm by then and we eat for an hour grab our rain stuff and leave. We get back 8 or 9 eat quickly and then run up stairs and try to get in bed before 1030 but this is really tough. First off this week started off with me eating Chinese food and getting really really sick. The food his is really bad for me been sick since i got here, and well getting sick of rice. But positively speaking they make a good fried chicken. anyway we went to a noche de hogar that night which when we walked in i hear MY HEARTS ON FIRE FOR ELVIRAAAA BOW WOW WOW ha-ha I laughed so hard this guy loves 80s country music. We talked a lot. Anyway than we went way up into Lomas. where we found a really nice man, blessed his hose that the spirits would leave and when i got off his church his daughter screamed, i had sat on their baby kitten which was not moving... ha-ha she shook it.. I said a little prayer... And well it revived :) all’s well in Zion. Anyway my companion suffers from depression and problems at home. His dad has threatened to come and pick him up. But anyway he quit, just quit and i couldn’t help him. So i said a little prayer and thought of Cool Runnings :) so i grabbed the cell phone, our only reflective surface ha-ha and pulled him up and said "quien ver" who do you see, anyway than proceed to say I see power, i see authority, i see a man called of god who knows he’s a missionary, and made him repeat it. He’s doing better :) ha-ha pretty funny. But thank the next day we visited the hospital, story to come, and had a noche de missional where we watched Shrek, we didn’t watch it but put it on in the church and stood outside and played with trompos, it was difficult. Anyway than the next day had service wayyyyy up in the mountains digging dirt, and clearing rocks for a person’s house, i was so burnt after working for 5 hours it was pretty bad, worse than a fried strip of bacon :)... bacon :) anyway than my zone leaders from Canada he’s touched the Jamaican bob sled and well were planning a trip to Calgary, my district leader is from Orem and is a dramatic reader, I’m teaching him to tell stories and he’s teaching me too, when i get back I’ll be a regular folk singer with my banjo ;) than Saturday we had 3 baptisms, my companion is well he hates me ha-ha but we have a lot of success and our on our way to the best companionship in all the mission for this month.

Anyway hope this is what you want. More next week :) all’s well in Zion.
