Hello everyone.
Well there isn’t really much to talk
about for this week because Wednesday morning I had to travel to Cusco to
basically sign a paper saying that I am definitely leaving the country here
shortly (weird thought). But then I only had about a half a day back in my
sector we had to travel again but this time only to Sicuani for conference.
Something that sucks right now for
Espinar is that we are in an emergency state because there is a riot going on
with the miners in Abancay and so because Espinar is also full of miners we are
also affected. Basically an emergency state just means that the government
makes it so this area can hold meetings to prevent them from getting fired up
and rising up to help the riot in Abancay. Right now there are also increased
police in the area to help. But because of this, we currently can’t have any
meetings (including conference) so we all had to come here. However, as for how
our work goes, it doesn’t really affect us too much, we just have a few new
rules to protect us such as be home by 8:00 pm, always have identification, and
don’t travel at night. But nothing too bad. It would only be bad if Espinar had
a riot. But also it’s only a 2 hour bus ride to Sicuani and then 2 hours more
to Cusco.
But to be honest, I haven’t seen all
of conference yet. Normally we have a separate room for English because we receive
both broadcasts. However, this time, the guy didn’t come to make it where we
could watch it in English apart so we had to watch it online in the secretary’s
room. However, the internet was so slow that we didn’t have time to see all of
the sessions and talks because it was buffering. So we decided to just download
the sessions to watch them later so I’ll be doing that here this week. However,
from what I did get to see, I really liked the talk from Richard J. Maynes and
the story of the ceramic teacher. Also, it was cool to see the new apostles.
But from what I was able to see, it was good.
The ponderize thing is kinda
something as missionaries we already do in a way. But it would be pretty cool
to start doing, and for me it will be in Spanish. However, I have been doing
that once a change with my favorite scriptures or scriptures that have a
message that apply to me. I then have it written on my agenda so I can see it
every day.
I can’t believe after so many years
about saying how much you hate cats you got one. And with animals in general.
However, I am happy. I need a nice clean animal to go home and love and sleep
with. XD But you have given me quite a few surprises since I’ve been out here
but this is definitely up on the list.
But that’s about it for this week. Next week we have to travel again to Cusco as a zone for a multi-conference with a 70 and the mission president. So I’ll be sure to tell you how that goes in 2 weeks (because its next Tuesday) But I love you all and I’m glad to hear that everyone’s doing well!
