Mary's 5th Letter from Peru

of it. i am in a box that is my area haha. we still have freezing
water and so we are going to look for another house. plus, this house
has tons of strange cucifixes and the ashes of a relative. thats the culture and really, i respect it, i do. but it kind of
creeps us out and we would like some hot water. The heater for the
water is in the shower head, but we have replaced it and it keeps
frying! so, a new apt. it is.
Jorge was confirmed last night! yay!! The zone leaders got special
permission to have him confirmed last night but did not have a way to
reach us, so they prayed that they would find us so we could bring
to great a member in the chapel, and that was when the zone leaders
told us they had literally just finished the prayer, and here we were!
there. and the other day he has never felt such a friendship with someone like
this, he told me he feels like he has known me for years. He feels
like a grandpa to me, he is very obedient and patient with his family.
Also, is not my favorite thing, and yet i find myself praying for it
everyday. humbled and opened my scriptures to alma 26 12 by chance.
Thank you to everyone who has sent me letters through dear elder, or
regular.
