EATING CUY!!

July 2, 2012

So anywho, just chillin after internet on Monday. We go back to Hermana Charitos house for lunch and we are eating cuy (guinepig for those not familiar with the name)!!! And oh my how I loved it. All I could think about was Bain's hamster that died like 8 years ago and how I should have cooked it up cause man this was good. My companion said that he had cuy once before and it was horrible, so I am glad our pensionista is a great cook and my first experience was a good one. I have been smelling a lot of odd things this week. When I smell cucumbers I think of Lake Powell. Every car here is diesel so that reminds me of the fumes from the boat. Also to top that off we were knocking doors and a man across the street was listening to Hotel California. So I don't know, maybe God is trying my faith because he knows how much I love Lake Powell and how sad I am missing it this year. So ya, today is Bain's birthday and I'm pretty sad about that. We baptized a girl on  Friday who was a reference for a lady in the ward and she is pretty much Bain's age so that's cool. Her name is Rocio Mallque and she is pretty awesome. Anywho not much happened this week. We didn't reach our goal for contacts, because we are always running around for baptism interviews and I still lack confidence to talk to people.I just hope I can find some soon. Anyways I've been out for 4 months. Doesn't feel like it I'm sure its felt like a year for you guys haha. I cannot wait to hear where Landon is going. I think about it a lot. It sound like everyone is doing well. Bain's story was quite hilarious about girls camp. I think you guys had more of a camp in that 24 hours that I did my entire time in the scouts.

Well I don't have much time because we were late to get to the computers so hopefully I will have more to talk about next week. Hopefully we can get some more baptisms and a lot more contacts!

I saw a man playing a hermonica yesterday and oh man did he kill it. I'm searching for one I hope I find one.

I tried to send 2 more photos but I ran out of time. Next week I will send them. One is of our baptism and the other is a birthday card for Bain so I guess you will have to wait sorry sorry.

Oh yea I can now wiggle my ears so I guess practice makes perfect.
