This week was a little strange. So it was the last week in
the change but it was hard to do anything because basically everyday someone in
our sector was sick. Regardless, we were still able to work by doing quite a
bit of work visits. XD But a new Elder, who is in our sector, is in the
hospital right now because he has a stomach infection. Also, that means I won’t
be able to show you the pictures of Thanksgiving we had until next week. :/
Anyway, Thanksgiving was pretty good here. Our pensionista made us some
chicken roll things because they don’t really sell turkey this time of year.
Also, we had mashed potatoes as well as some really good baked potatoes. Then
there was rice, rolls, and an apple salad thing. All in all, for a Peruvian Thanksgiving,
it was pretty good. Every time we celebrate a holiday here, my companion wants
to continue celebrating it when he gets home. He and one other Latino played in
our turkey bowl last week. However, the other Latino is like half American and
knows perfect English so he doesn’t really count. But my comp loved playing. Also,
for the Macchu Picchu trip, I think I’m going this change.
Anyway other than that everything is basically the same for
me this change. Still in Cusco with the same companion. However, something
funny is that Elder Nicholls is now my new Zone leader as well as in my
district so that will be pretty funny whenever we do work visits. I plan on
getting some Christmas decorations today for my house. Even though it doesn’t
really feel like Christmas here with it being warm and rainy and green. Anyway,
I can’t believe that Christmas is only in a few weeks. It’s also weird to think
I’ll be home next Christmas. I’m only a month away from having a year here.
Anyway for this week, we are just preparing a family we are
teaching for baptism so that will be cool. Also we are focusing on contacting
with the contact card that has a picture of baby Jesus that says "He is
the gift" (I don’t know if you have seen it before) for Christmas. But
other than that, I’ll talk to you guys in 24 days :)
Well, I love you all and like always, I’m glad to hear that
you’re doing well.
