as for my week its been the equivalent of two train wrecks, a hurricane, and an avalanche. mixed into a smoothie with too much salt. and then spread all into a gaping bullet wound. or in other words it stunk.
fortunately it wasn't anything that happened to me, but it's super sad at any rate. but i will spoil the story, and tell you the most amazing thing my mommy put my name on the temple roll just because she ¨felt¨ i needed a little bit of help. just between you and me, i cried a little when i read that because this week has been horrible.
This week Elder Martinez suffered a huge blow. his little 7 year old brother was killed in an accident, and it has been so hard for him especially because his family is not supportive of his mission at all. he worked for seven years for his uncle to pay for his mission, and his uncle at the last moment pulled his support. his parents are sickly, and it's possible that they won't be there when he gets back. but still he is here and just to top it off his little bother gets killed. I FREAKING HATE SATAN.
not to mention that our area is super tough and nobody wants to listen. it's just been a sucky week. but do you want to know the best part? I know that we receive help. i know that there is a mountain of 15 million members and the billions of righteous spirits cheering us on and praying for our protección and guidance. this gospel is so vacan(cool in peruano slang)
I am so glad that you are doing great and that although still cold you're breathing and alive mostly. keep up the fight. and remember there is always always hope. that's what we need to help people see is the hope they can receive
More than that it's just the same old same old. with the new twists.
new favorite things of peru: the market of course. i found where it is in peru
other thing bodoques of milk and peanuts. they are the bomb. it's like a popsicle in a bag like otter pops but more vacan
other thing: tiendas in every street
cell phones. we finally got one, and it costs a fortune to call anybody. It is like 5 dollars for 30 minutes. it's nuts
keep the faith and can't wait to hear about your lives. rapido comes the navidad.
oh we drink hot chocolate and eat fruitcake. yes you need to buy panaton for this christmas dianafria is my favorite brand.
and my mom is the best mom in the whole world.
