Hey how is everything at home? So, I tried to send some pictures
home, but the computer stopped reading my camera after one. Here is the one!
A few quick things for home. I lost my credit card this week. I have no
idea where it is. I didn´t even know it was gone until about a half hour
ago. The last time I saw it was last Monday. So, could you cancel it
and maybe see if it would be possible to send a new one out here.
Aside from that little fact, I have had a slow week. True to tradition, the
week before transfer week is always the slowest. We had a combined
total of like 10 lessons all week. Haha... terrible!
But for this week, no, I am not getting transfered. I am going to be
training a new missionary in this area so for sure, I will be here for
at least 2 or 3 more months (12 weeks). I was hoping to get moved to
the mountains, but maybe in July or more likely, August. Sounds like
the mountains and Cajamarca are for the more experienced missionaries.
I am really looking forward to training. It will be interesting.
SO... stories for out here. Well, the other week, we got to do service out
here for a bunch of people. We were working with the other two missionaries
that we live with to clean up a carpentry workshop for a
less active member. It was actually quite a bit of fun. Elder
Fernandez and I are always messing with each other. We were making fun
of each other for two hours. He was making fun of me in Ingles and
yo estaba molestándole en español. It was great fun. Then, we got bored and
started rigging new ways to do things. We built a rig with a couple
barrels, a steel piece of pipe and a rope with a metal platform we
lashed together with cable. We worked a way to move a great deal
of stuff from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor of this building. It was
hard work, but we found ways to keep it interesting.
This next story was kinda cool, and a touch overpowering. For
the last couple weeks I have been studying about the power of god and
how he does things. I came to a partial conclusion that was
correct, but not complete and I didn´t realize that until the other day.
I was asked to give a blessing. During the blessing, I felt the
power of our Heavenly Father for just a moment. I
felt it for only a few seconds. I realized he can do anything he wants
in anyway he wants. It was a humbling experience.
I will keep my eyes open for the packages. I am now
a 34 waist, I think. My 36 inch jeans are a touch a bit big now.
However, I did fit into a 32 inch waist for the baptism, so 34 is
probably about right.
I hope all is well and I will write again next week.
