Well one more change gone.
Monday we had P-day in Soritor which is super far away. So we traveled like an hour and a half to get there and then as a zone we ate cuy. This was my 4th cuy and I was very excited. Because I love cuy. So this time was a bit different because I decided to eat the head as well. I didn’t have the stomach to do it in Lima so I was like yea I’ll be cool in front of my homies and do it. So I ate its face off sucked out the eyes and munched on its brain. And surprisingly it was quite delicious. I enjoyed it. It might have been 4 days early, but that was the closest thing to a Thanksgiving dinner that I had. On Tuesday I had paid money to Elder Robles in Rioja to buy a skin together and on Tuesday he brought me the finished product. My awesome tigrillo bible and then right as you thought I was done I have had a member who owns a jungle gift shop to search for more skins that might pass through moyo because it’s against the law to kill animals in this part so they have to get them sent from Iquitos so they are rare. Any who Wednesday she got me a nice boa for 30 soles which is a bit more that 10 bucks when they sell snakes for like 55 and like 70 for gringos. Cause she is my homie. So my companion and I are making wallets and hymn book covers for that. So while all of you are doing your crazy stuff with Bree getting engaged and Brandon leaving and Thanksgiving. I was eating and skinning wild animals in the amazon jungle.
On thanksgiving my companion and I dropped almost 95 percent of our investigators because none are progressing and we are starting over. Only with those that have baptismal dates for December it was difficult, but it needed to be done. We’re going to change a lot of things about this place. We have one date for the mom of the girl I baptized with Elder Castro for the 15th and we are hoping to get Nils in the water that same day and we are fasting and praying hard to get the Salazar family baptized. We just need them to exercise their faith. We are also teaching the brother of Clara, who is getting baptized, who is a recovering drug addict. It will take a lot but we are helping him change his life and from the progress he made this week all is well. I’m not changing this change I got at least one more with Bustos. Which means I will be here for Christmas? Don’t worry I have all the things written down my passwords and your usernames. And I have already arranged for a member to let us use his internet and his camera so don’t worry were going to be skyping soon ha-ha. Not much is going on. We haven’t baptized in a while, but God tests our faith to see if we really trust him. I know we are going to baptize like mad. President sent me to the toughest zone for a reason I just need to learn these lessons quick yaknowwhatimean.
O yea the Catholics put a giant Jesus statue on top of their church so that was a nice Friday surprise haha.
O yea I need new oil vile. Mine broke... blessing like Jesus I guess.
I sure hope there are some nice photos in that package ;)
Vitamins help missionaries stay strong when they are in the jungle eating rice and eggs.
I would like a nice journal if you could send one. I kind of gave my other one away to my trainer and never wrote in it and I kind of want to start writing so my kids can know how crappy of a missionary I was ha-ha I nice hard back nothing too fancy
