Well this week started off with a taste of Peru. Not a good taste, it is called... tocush and it is horrible. The Peruvians eat it as a cure-all and I had heard about it from all the Peruvians. I finally got a chance to eat it, I had one ... one! spoonful. If you know how a horse stable smells, that is the taste exactly. It tastes like a horse stable. Haha, but now I can say I ate tocush and didn't puke like my companion. This Wednesday was the conference for the zone leaders and at 7 in the morning we got a call saying that the district leaders in Lima are supposed to be there as well. So my companion and the other district leader left for the mission office leaving Elder Maldonado from Honduras and me alone and unprepared. So we are both brand new missionaries walking back and forth from our areas and we ended up at one of my investigator's house. We taught the third lesson and I committed him to baptism and he accepted for the 21st so that's pretty sweet. He also came to church this Sunday so now he has two attendances. This week we are going to finish the lessons and get him interviewed. I am about 20 chapters away from finishing the Book of Mormon again. I started the first day in the field and I'm about to finish it. I plan on tossing it in my suitcase and never reading in English again haha, but we will see. We have dropped almost all of our investigators because none are progressing and we have been contacting like wild Laminites so hopefully our efforts will be positive and we can find those golden children ready to listen in these last weeks of this transfer. I'm jealous of all your 4th of July fun, but its fine because Saturday and Sunday was the Dia de Amigos so all the drunks were really nice to us haha .
the church is true.
its for everyone, me and you.
tocush tastes like poo.
peace love baptisms
