Well seeing how it is so high it gets pretty cold. So the first day i was here I bought the two sweaters and have been wearing them ever since! So much for Peru being warm everywhere. The district leader just gave me my third blanket today, because they didn't have them my first day, and all I can say is thank goodness. It is going to be nice to be warm at night! Well my area is called Marcavalle, and everything is really going great. We have 4 people with baptismal dates in this next month, and we are working on 2 or 3 more. We are teaching constantly whether it be an appointment or contacting in the street. We have a goal for 30 contacts a day. So we are pretty much going non stop. We had 50 people at church on Sunday, and it was fast and testimony meeting. These people really have such strong testimonies in the gospel, and they are all so nice.
Our pensionista is great. I have definitely been eating my fair share, and if I'm still hungry we can always by bread in the street. 8 pieces for 1 soul! thats like 33 cents. Now that is what I'm talking about! I'm going to take some pictures of the area, and send them next week. hopefully this is the last time there will be a post poned e-mail. I'm really appreciating now how nice the CCM was. They took such good care of us there and we got to play fùtbol everyday. It is just a whole different life down here, where people live and how they live. I love it though!
Today is seriously like Christmas though. I haven't gotten any mail in like 2 or 3 weeks, and today the District leader just handed me a package with like 20 letters in it. I really can't wait to read them. I think we are going to play risk as a district today, so that should be pretty fun. I would much rather play soccer though, but if thats what they want to do I'm not going to complain. I am so happy to be out here doing this, and happy for all of the support everyone is giving me.
It sounds like things are going well at home. You won the chili cookoff mom, that is great! It really sounds like the house is amazing, you guys should send some pictures of what is going on over the e-mail. I really miss seeing you guys. How are things going with dads work and the commute, and stuff? How is school for Allison? What did Steph swim, and what were here times in the meet? I am so excited that swim season has started, I really miss swimming competitively. I'm sad that I have'nt heard anything about cross country season, but I guess it is over by now. Its hard to believe how fast that went. Those were good times. How is andrew doing, is he running still? Jen tambien, how is she doing. You probably told me all of this in the letters I am about to read, but I'm just curious to hear more about what is going on.
I am so happy to hear from you mom, and read what is going on there. Don't worry at all about me, things are going great, and I am so happy to be out hear preaching the gospel. The spanish is still coming along. I understand what people are saying most of the time, I just need to continue to learn more words, and continue to practice my conjugation. I guess I will have no problem with that considering I'm probably the only person who speaks english in La Oroya! Its great though, and my knowledge of the gospel has increased so much already. It increases more and more every day. If there is any advice I could give the kids is to pay good attention in seminary, it is such a blessing to have it. Well I love you family, and love hearing from you. i can't wait to read all of these letters! Yo amo!!!
