So we were suppose to leave for Culca this morning at 2 so me and Andia were sleeping at a members home that lives around the chapel because our house is so far away and its dangerous to take taxi´s at that hour. so here i am asleep on a couch that is made for a small child and our zone leaders called and said the bus that we were going to take broke down so they were searching for a new bus...then at like one they decided we werent going. so we called a taxi and headed back to our house...so yeah were not going anymore hah. Anyways...
This week was good. its been raining for like two weeks straight and yesterday was FREEZING. I decided i dont deal with the cold well hah i hate it. our card board ceiling is by some miracle holding up. our shower on the other hand....cold showers are never fun and i dont think im ever going to get used to them haha I have to give myself a pep talk every morning before i get in but oh well. I feel like I dont have alot to tell about this week. last p day hermana andia and i went on a little adventure (ill send pics) so that was fun. we went to this old church thing in the middle of arequipa (i think) that you could climb to the top and over look all of arequipa. then we took this ghetto tiny bus through the back roads (on accident) and ended up in the plaza de armas were i bought the coolest llama ring ever (you know i was in love) and this llama fur jacket thing that everyone thinks is hidious but i love it. so that was a pretty exciting pday. Eating with the members is going good....People are so serious about food here. you could have a two hour long conversation with anyone here about food. One thing I can not handle though is la mazamorra. People have it like with every meal. I dont even know how to get it down haha its horrible.
One thing that ive been thinking alot about this week is the fact that we are all brothers and sisters (obvisouly i know) but its sometimes really crazy to think about. when you are teaching someone who wants nothing to do with you and the gospel and your just thinking like hey you believed in this at one point in your life or you wouldn't be here. or that you could have known them before this life. its weird to think that you could have pormised people before that you would find them here. You just want everyone to accept this gospel so bad because you know the blessings that come from it. Especially when i think about my family and the people i love. You sometimes just want things so bad for people but after you do all you can its really up to them...during a lesson this week we were reading in Revelation and we came accross 21:4 and me and my companion were in instant tears. idk why it hit me so hard and i feel like im just babbling a little in this letter but its been on my mind constantly this week. I feel so blessed to have the family i do and live in the circumstances i do. Anyways..I hope everyone has a great week. I love you all so much!
