Hey momma and daddy and family!
Bad news. my camera has been stolen. not sure how to be honest, i had
it yesterday in my back pack and last night i went to pull it out and
it was not there. so sad, I mananged to print a few off before, but
for the most part my pics are gone. I should be able to get a bunch
of good pictures from people when I get home though... also i am
considering buying a new one eventually, I think I have enough money
in my account should i decide to... right momma?
Esta es la semana de los cambios - transfers. I am not going anywhere
because I am in training, so that is good. I love Ttio, there are a
lot of good people here. my spanish is improving little by little. I
can definitely hold a conversation no problem, as long as the accent
is not too difficult. Hey, destin mentioned that you sent him some
stories about tithing, or different things that you have a testimony
of, and some experiences you have had with them? that would be sooo
wonderful if you could maybe do a dear elder with that, i think that
is free and is a lot faster! I just got your first email this past
week.
We are helping a couple get married this week! so great, and he is set
up to be baptized the 25th. They are amazing. The kids are soooo
great. there are two, clayder and cluber. Clayder is 4 and reminds me
of david. he is alll over the place and is just like a tornado to the
tenth power. my comp loses her patience with him, but I jut adore
him. but holy cow he is tiring!!! cluber is 1 and a half and is just
adorable. we have had to help this family a lot between teaching,
helping them find a house, helping them get married, but we just love
them so much. they are wonderful.
Jose alvarez is awesome, but we havent been able to reach him because
his wife hates us! I dont know what is going to happen with him, but
hopefully the lord will soften her heart so that he can be baptized.
We definitely moved this week into a better apartment, but holy cow is
it tiny! we have to pray on our beds because there is no room. There
are cockroaches, but there is hot water!!! THis week has been the
first week showering with hot water since I got here, and I have
never been more grateful. The family that we share the floor with and
the bathroom with are members. They are amazing - Rocio, Patricia,
miguel, and luanna, or lulu. lulu is 2, miguel is 9, patti is 17.
Rocio packed up her kids, and left her husband who is a drunk, and
left Lima to come here. she literally had nothing, not a place to
live, no job, no food to feed her children, but the lord told her to
come and she has been majorly blessed because of it. She was a less
active but is returning and miguel is going to be baptized the 25th,
his birthday!!! The more time I have on the mission the more I
realize how much i have blessed to have such a wonderful family. I
also have such wonderful friends! for those of you who read the blog,
and write me, if i dont write back its because i dont have plata -
money to write! super expensive, but i hope you all know i treasure
your letters and many times, your letters have answered my prayers.
I love you all soooo much!!! I have been so blessed to
be able to serve, and i know this gospel is true.
