Hey family!
Well, I just got back from Quillabamba yesterday. The concert went really well, but the song his hands... got slaughtered which was so sad because it should be the best song in the program. so we decided to take the choir out, and make it into a solo or a duo piece. i think it will go much better. Quillabamba is sooo pretty, but i was so sick. I flew to cusco, then the asistents, myself and elder ryan, and president and his wife drove out to quillabamba, 5 hour drive. it was really fun, but i got super sick. its a dirt road on the side of a mountain that is super curvy. As your coming down, it looks like land before time. soooo awesome. The bathrooms were they typical peruvian bathroom on the side of the road... a hole in the ground with a tarp for privacy... special.
I know there is a blog.. this part i dont really want on the blog for everybody, but its whats happening. In the rama, They named me the unofficial relief society president because i kept asking for one... i dont know how many times we have asked for a president, and they keep telling us... una se va a nacer... wow. thats like saying you blew up a library and a dictionary was born. so finally my comp and i organized the visiting teaching companionships, we are also organizing a better plan misional working with 5 families for the branch mtc, and also trying to work with 5 less active families from the relief society and 5 less actives from the quorom of elders... and on top of it, traveling, and still have to get 2 or three baptisms a month, and get all the key indicators. How is this all possible you ask? Well to be honest i am not sure it is, because we are falling short. a rama means branch fyi. but I am pretty sure i am going to have a change because i have been here 6 months, and thats normally the longest people have in an area. Its a long time. i dont know if you know.
thanks for the letters!!!!! i got a few already!!! wow. Letters help sooooo much to boost el animo... i dont remember how to say that in english, but its true. Welp, love you all soooo much! the mission is the best thing that has ever happened to me. i have never been so tired, the black circles under my eyes are impressive hahaa. i love it. I also heard that president wilkinsen got called to be a mission president in costa rica!!!! oh my gosh how cool!!!! Welp, gotta run. love you all.
