Mary's 16th letter from Peru

Hey mom! you know me so well. i keep forgetting to bring my license with me, but i will try to remember to bring it. What time should i call for mothers day? Life is good here in the jungle. most of my rashes and insect bites are clearing up as i have been wearing more insect repellent so that is good. I have become accustomed to eating and drinking ants... normal. protein. One elder just showed me pictures of him eating worms. there is a white, fat worm here people love. sick. Nobody tried to shoot me and i havent met anybody from the mafia, like some people on missions.... haha but it was a good week. we had 2 baptisms on saturday, oscar and jhoan. they are the cousins of Jorge who got baptized about 2 weeks ago, and all three of them received the priesthood yesterday!!! I am overjoyed with all three of them. yesterday in Gospel principles, jorge introduced himself and said he was grateful to have found the true church. He always bears his testimony and always wants to pray. This week, his mom told us that she walked into the cuarto (almost nobody has an actual house, just cuartos, or a room with a bathroom.) and she found him reading the book of mormom just crying. he is 16 years old. I love the gospel sooooo much! I have never seen people change so much, so fast than i am seeing right now on the mission. anyway, thats all for this week. I love you guys, like destin said hearing about the family dinner makes me excited to eat mashed potatoes and roast with everybody! I love you all! Hermana Swartz
