Well Happy Father's Day. I know
you all know this, but I have the greatest father on the earth. Not a
day goes by that someone doesn't tell me how awesome my father is, or how
he has helped them in their lives. My father does nothing but help
others reach their goals. In that way he reminds me of the Prophet. If
anyone needs an errand run, Roger B Woolstenhulme will run that errand. My father has the heart the size of a full grown rhinoceros, and if you
spend 2 minutes with him you will feel that love. My dad did nothing in
my life, but work as hard as he could to improve my circumstances and to
help me succeed with all of my endeavors. My father works harder, plays
harder, laughs harder, and loves more than any man I know, or will ever
know in my life. My father changes lives and does nothing but love. To
my great father I would like to say Happy Father's Day!
I loved all the pictures! All the elders tell me I have a good-looking family. THOSE CHERRIES LOOK DELICIOUS!!!! I am beyond
jealous. Yea it's winter, but it's like a Spring day in Utah. My
companion hates the cold. Guatemala is really hot and the cold is tough for
him. Well this week we don't have any baptisms, but the other
district baptized a 91, yes 91 year-old lady who only speaks Quechua. Yea hahah that's whats up. And this is the Elder's last transfer. Pretty
sweet. Cifuentes and I have three new families we are teaching and
they all need to be married!! ahhhhh!! It is going to be a lot of work I just hope and pray that we can get it all done before these last 6 weeks
are up and I'm off to who knows where. The three families are: Linder and Milagros and their daughter Angie who is 12, Henry and Consuelo and their son Angelo who is 9, and George and Estrella. Estrella is a member we just need to get them married so he can
be baptized because they are living together. Our service this week was
moving bags of dirt up a huge flight of stairs to help rebuild a house
of a member. I had a blast, I felt like I was at wrestling practice
running up stairs a thousand times with Chase Orwin on my back. All
the Latinos we huffing and puffing and sitting down, but the new Zone Leader (who is from Montana) and me were sprinting trying to get a workout. Oh man
was it a workout! Almost 60 50-lb bags per missionary up a huge flight
of stairs. Also I know you guys are going to be jealous of this, but
yesterday for father's day we ate at the bishop's house and he made us
cerviche. Cerviche of swordfish! Oh my goodness gracious
¡Alma-the-younger-saw-an-angel! it was good!!! I almost cried! Raw
swordfish, lemon, onions, and who knows what else. Oh it was heavenly. Also
last night while we were walking to out last appointment there were like 9
gunshots. We didn't know if some drunk was just having a great
father's day and shot up in the air or if someone got shot. We just
walked down the next street. People were screaming but I don't think
anything happened because after our lesson there wasn't a commotion. Anywho, hopefully we get these baptisms and get the ball rolling. Hopefully I don't get shot! haha, just kidding.. but seriously.
¡VIVE PERÚ!
