Well this past week was pretty
awesome. First off, my comp left the hospital Sunday night so we were finally
able to go back to work like normal. This week was also nice because we have
new investigators that are living with some members. They also recently had a
baby too and they want to have a good family relationship and so their child
can grow up in a good home. So we'll see what happens with them.
For new years eve we just ate dinner
with some members and I brought over one of the cheeses and sausage sticks to
share with them. They really liked the sausage but only one of the kids liked
the cheese. That really confused me because they only have one type of cheese
in all of Peru and it is basically a bad form of squeaky cheese. Not to mention
that smoked cheddar cheese is like the best type of cheese ever. Anyway, other
than that the other thing that happened is once again everyone fired off
fireworks at midnight but this time it was a lot more.
I now officially have one year in
the mission and as tradition calls, I burned a shirt. But don’t worry because it
was one of my really old shirts that I brought that I think I have only used
once. I also got all the sweaters you wanted as well as hats for everyone too.
I’ll send you pictures of what your choices are but you will have to console with Aaron and Kelly as well because I bought each of them one too.
As for Machu Picchu, it was amazing!
It really takes your breath away when you first see it. You and dad will definitely
have to come see it one day. When we first got there in the morning, it was
raining a bit and there were clouds surrounding the mountains. It kind of gave
it like a mystical feel. Anyway, the clouds cleared up later so I was able to
get some wicked pictures. We also had a tour guide take us around the whole
city so it was pretty cool to hear the history of Machu Picchu. As for right
now, I am just really tired from the trip.
Well, I love you guys and hope that
you will all have an amazing week!
