Hello everyone!
This week has been pretty good, just
a little tiring with travels and organizing my stuff. So basically the best way
to explain Juliaca is everything here looks like Choquehuanca but a hundred
times bigger. Juliaca is definitely a lot more developed than Choquehuanca but
it’s not like Cusco. I feel like the city has grown too fast, kinda like how we
get stretch marks for growing too fast. However, here it’s just incomplete
houses and roads and it’s really dirty. I have been to Juliaca though before
when I was in Choquehuanca because we had permission to come here once a
change. However, more than anything, I only know the area around the mall but
that’s not in my sector. Also another thing about Juliaca is that it’s even
flatter than Choquehuanca with only one hill in the whole city.
Anyway, my new companion's name is
Elder Bordon. He is from the North part of Argentina; however, I don’t remember
the name of the city. He only has about 5 months in the mission and so he is
pretty new. However, he is a really good missionary and we have gotten along so
far. I still don’t really know too much about him because we have only been
together for less than a week. As far as the ward, from what I’ve seen it seems
to be doing pretty well. It’s still in an early development with an assistance
of about 100 people. However, a lot of people miss the sacrament because we
meet at 8 in the morning and for a lot of people in Peru, but especially in
Puno, it’s hard for them to get up early and be on time. However, from what I
hear, Juliaca is progressing the fastest out of all the zones in our mission,
so I hope that’s true. However, the nice thing is that it seems that they have
a lot of people we can visit but the only problem is that a lot of them aren’t
in their houses very much.
But that’s about all the news I got
for this week. I’m still trying to get to know the sector so hopefully I can
talk more about the people we are visiting this next. Also, that’s crazy that when I get back,
the ward is going to be completely different. Well, I love you all and I’ll
talk to you next week.
Elder Halverson
