This week was frustrating, I’m glad i got to end it with General Conference. It was kind of a fat waste of time, but thats ok. Still smiled and enjoyed it and at least we tried.
This week was the celebration of San Miguel in Llave. The city was absolutley insane. Every store was a beer vendor this week. Every store, internets, clothes, banks, hahah doesn’t matter, it sold beer this week. Everyone in the city was mad partying. The streets were filled with marching bands. They've got like 10,000 marching bands here. So weird. Everyone was dancing and jamming to marching bands and drinking. NO One talked to us.
Also we traveled to Puno twice cuz my companion had a doctors appointment, both times the doctor wasn’t there. Hahaha good times. Anyways. We went on splits this week. The other missionary in my district is not actually a missionary. He is a temporary 3 week mini missionary. So we were working together. Very interesting. I dont know spanish, and he doesnt know much about the mission, but we got it done and had some good success.
Anyways, really not much to tell this week. Last night I were teaching with Eduardo, the 12 year old, when we walked he is jamming to some Snoop Dog. Conference ruled. watched in Spanish but some how got some great notes out of it. I cant wait to watch in English and see if i actually understood. I loved how Thomas S. Monson got up in Priesthood, said obey the word of wisdom, and sat back down. Genius. So genius. I thought conefrence was great, alot of emphasis on the plan of salvation and the atonement. And thats all we really gotta remember.
Finished the week with some major down poor, because God thought that Llave needed to be baptized after this nasty week of partying. Haahahhaha. Me and my companion would yell in English " repentance, you all need repentance". Good times.Since the whole city was crazy, we took on a cool service project. We were painting this schoool out in the fields, we were painting a mural. I decided to go with mickey mouse and the gang, and my comp was doing his own artsy thing. Anyways I'll send pics next week, it was pretty cool. Yah nada mas. Good times, looking forward to a week of more success. Peace and blessings.
