I’m in a city called Ambuncay! Its
wayyy high up in the Andes. My sector is called Tamburco. Its really cool here.
My door goes up to my waist! haha I will send pics next week cause I had no time
to take some this week. My comp is Elder Aguilar from Lima. He is awesome! This
is his last month in the field and he is training me. We live alone but we go
everyday to a house that cooks 3 meals a day for us! They are soo awesome! Mom
will you invite the missionaries over and feed them! My week was crazy.
We got to Cusco on Tuesday and got
our comps and headed out to our area. 5 hour bus ride through the mountains i
was puking. I can’t understand a word of Spanish. In a lesson this guy kept
asking me questions and I couldn’t understand him and i just started bawling! I
am praying like I never have before.
Friday- Me and my comp are new to
our area so we haven’t really talked to any investigators because we are trying
to get to know the members. I really like talking to the members kids because
my Spanish is about the same as theirs haha. It helps a lot. Also while we were
walking meeting people I stopped and played some basketball with these kids. My
comp contacted them after. It was good to feel normal for a minute. I know
Heavenly father put them there for me to feel normal for a minute.
Saturday- We went out again to meet
some of the members. We met the very first member in Abuncay. He is 93 and
walks 3 miles to church every day. Heavenly Father gave me a great experience
with him. As i was sitting there while we were talking to him. I felt this love
for him and like very proud. After that we had a meeting with the Branch
President. He told us in our ward zone there are 324 members, ONLY 65 come to
church! We have to do a lot with the less actives now rather than new
investigators.
Sunday- WOW. Sunday is missionaries
do everything day. We prepared and blessed the sacrament, gave talks on the
spot, blessed a sick child and taught Elders Quorum.
I love you all soo much. I am
running on only faith right now. Its the hardest thing ever. I just keep
smiling.
