Last week I had a district meeting, and everything went well, (with the 4 of us in our district). All of a sudden this kid, that is being trained, like me, starts packing his bags. What?????? I didn’t think he was being serious, so I was cracking jokes. Turns out it wasn’t a joke. I told him that no duh the mission is hard, but we gotta make it through the next couple of weeks. Anyways I bet him 100 soles he stays. Turns out after an interview with president he is staying. Good roast. I’m the only white English guy of the four of us
Me and Elder Aguilar wrote on our white board Forget yourself and go to work. He wrote above yourself, the name of his girlfriend, and I wrote Lucy, cuz Lucy is always on my mind.
Speaking of Lucy, we taught this awesome recently converted family a lesson, and before we started, this little girl was totally dancing to shake it off, she was 6. Can you say lucy??? Good times. I totally jammed with her.
People are totally placed in front of our path by God. My very first contact in the mission, Paula, has gone to church twice already, and we haven’t even taught her a full lesson yet. So impressive. Also Solidad, a nice lady, literally said, I have been looking for religion. who says that?? idk, but it is not coincidence that we found her.
I had a bible bash. This lady was being so laaaame. I even proved her wrong. Eventually I cut her off and said no more, I know this is true, take it or leave it. There is a reason I am in peru with nice people. I probably would kill someone if i was in the US. I about punched a whole in the wall with that conversation.
Something cool I found in 3 Nephi. In the last days there are gonna be tons of peeps who try and claim to know Jesus, and Jesus will be like, Who are you? We can’t be on that Christ bandwagon. It may not be a number one seed now, but how great is it gonna be to finally have our 16 seed win the championship. I’m taking this cinderella story all the way.
Last but not least. So my face and body are scabby as ever. So gross. We met with the doctor in Puno. and he says uh you probably have some skin infection. How in the heck. What the heck. Anyways we have another appointment later today. We shall seee. But the skin infection is totally worth it, because when we were in the big city for my appointment, we found a grocery store that was like the US. and guess what? I found DEW. I FOUND ME SOME DEW: Skin infections are totally worth it for some dew. hahahah jk, but my companion was probably so confused. Who is this gringo, that is infected, and now he is freaking out over some soda I never heard of.
Good times. I love you all. Things are looking up. I see Gods hand in my life everyday. Sometimes life is the hard, and honestly there is nothing you can do about it. But you just gotta see the light at the end of the tunnel, because you’re never gonna be permantently sad. much love. Elder Hat
