This week went by SO fast.... !!!
Monday: The Birthday of my friend here in the Mission Elder Porras!!! He`s awesome and from St. George, Utah. We celebrated with pizza and we watched Megamind. Funny stuff.
Tuesday: We had our zone meeting with practicas. We teach each other and do feedback. we were teaching Leccion 2- The Plan of Salvation, and I accidently said Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Gethsemane.... HAha--- Besides that, the practices went well and I can feel my spanish improving!
Wedenesday: I GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!! Woot woot! Family History had a trip planned for the recent converts in our ward, and I got to go with Hermana Evans!! It was stressful to get there (The people in Peru run on their own time... hhaaha) But when we got there it was nice! We didn`t have time to do a session or any ordinaces, but we got to watch the recent converts do baptisms. They were so happy and I could really feel peace. a Little pause in the world to reflect and think about my time here and my purpose as a missionary. We took the train there and back and WOW... it was packed! So fun! I got squished in the doors, but the train didn`t leave without me!! Haha. That night, we went for Tacos and these giant Fronzen Pinapple drinks with Hermano Miguel and Royer. He`s a guy in our ward who`s preparing for his mission!!
Thursday: Just lots of work, as usual. :) Hehe
Friday: We visited our investigator Nora. She is AWESOME!! She always has a ton of questions, but it`s good! She wants to learn! She isn`t married, and so this week we`ve been working with our Zone Leaders with her--- talking about marriage and baptism! Her husband, Alexander is awesome! so sweet! Elder Garcia had them talk about how they felt about each other and he told us there were no words to explain how he felt about her and their son Aaròn. He told us his sons smile gave him the motive and energy for every day! So sweet!
Saturday: HALLOWEEN!!! Haha- It really didn'`t feel like Halloween to me... Haha. Maybe becuase it wasn`'t very cold and the kids on trick-or-treat really late at night and in the shops.. not houses! Haha. It was sweet to see how excited everyone was! We went to lunch with Hermano Miguel and Royer and we ate the Sees chocolates Mom sent in the package!! So yummy and a sweet Halloween treat!
Sunday: Was a short day! We had church in the morning and then went to Norky`s with Hermana Jeni-- She lives in Comas, but LOVES helping the sister missionaries and considers us her daughter. She comes and helps us with divisions sometimes and yesterday she brought her family since it was my comps last sunday in our ward (The next two, she`ll be visiting other wards) and her husbands birthday! Norky`s is this delicious restaurant that serves chicken and papas fritas and chaufa (fried rice) and tres leches... Ahhh.. so good! Hahaha. The rest of the day was short-- we had a stake meeting and then just taught!
Family, seriously the time this week flew by! I can`t believe how fast it seems! On a happy note, we got our scale in our room working and I found out I lost over 20 pounds!! woot woot! All that walking has payed off! Now I just have to keep it off, which will be difficult with all the delicious food here--- Seriously... we ate hamburgers one night that were SO good (hamburger, ham, papas fritas, and a fried egg... don`t worry--- I took pictures ;) )
I miss you guys like crazy cakes still, but I know the time until Christmas is going to fly!! I love you! Keep an eye out for my letters... I still haven`t gotten to sending them out.. whoopsies... but this week I will for sure!
I love you guys so much! hope things are all well at home!
