It
literally just took me 10 minutes to open up my email and the missionary portal
to write prez still has this gold spinny circle thing that its loading. Psh at
least I hope so! Testing my patience right here yo. Things are good here in
Otuzco, hard adjusting from the amazing Santiago de Chuco but its aight. We had
a karaoke night with the branch members on Thursday that was pretty fun! And
hilarious. My companion and I sang the primary song Child´s Prayer duet. A 9
year old recent convert Anthony has been in the hospital for a week now, poor
kid and we´ve been visiting him for a little bit each day. He´s getting so
bored just chillin in the hospital. Him and his friends were lighting stuff on
fire and he got really badly burned on his hands and on one of his legs. We
decorated his hospital room and made these cool magnet things for his bed
frame. And have been bringing liahona´s to read and his mom cause she´s always
in the hospital too. And our branch president is literally dying of cancer,
super sick. Can´t even talk cause it hurts too bad. So all the members of the
branch have been asked to visit him cause he doesn´t wanna be alone. So we work
more with his 1st counselor and he´s a wonderful leader. I just feel
bad cause he has tons of responsibilities:like the whole branch presidency. 3
in 1. We went to Trujillo
for pday last week! It was pretty fun to get out and see a real city again. Got
a glimpse of my old district too, they were walking in the plaza de armas when
we were headed to McDonald´s to eat lunch. Good pday. Escept the ride to and
from Trujillo
is so crazy! Tons of fast turns and crazy hills. We´ve been finding a ton of
new investigators and have been trying to dig up potential people to teach in the
area book from when the elders were working in our area. We saw a bad moto
accident the other day. I just gasped. 2 motorcycles ran into eachother as they
were turning a corner. Ugh it was so bad!!!
We live in a room next to the other hermanas in our area
which is pretty cool, get to see them tons. otuzco is divided into 3 areas:
otuzco 1 where we are working, otuzco 2 with the other hermanas and otuzco 3
with the elders.hna. gonzalexz actually served here in otuzco 2 for 8 months,
so I don´t know how long she´ll be here. our area is by far the most
spread out and generally has lower numbers than the other areas. but whatevs,
we´ve seen some pretty incredible miracles so far. the streets are really steep
and up-hill and with the change in altitude, phew sometimes its hard to
breathe. the majority of the people live in adobe homes with dirt floors. pigs,
horses, chicken, and wild dogs roam the streets. everyone´s always headed to
the chacra to harvest their potatoes, veggies, and corn. gotta love the people
from the chacra, especially when they always just stare at me as we walk by.
haha love it. the drunks are worse, but eh I´m used to it.
hope everyone´s doing really well! please tell aunt mary
that I got her letter, thanks! and that of course I´ll write her back asap. clark, for real thank you soo very much for your package!
psh the oreos, snickers, sour patch kids, and twix are all gone. thank you,
thank you!! crazy that it was 4th of july, just was a normal day here. chillly
here in the mountains. we have permission to watch 2 of the world cup games as
a district, isn´t that cool? I´ve been following it a little bit. and
