Dear Famiadamilia,
So the weeks just keep flying on by, and there really isn't anything I can do about it, because every time I turn around I learn that it’s Monday again. So.. I guess that’s really not a bad thing as this whole missionary gig is mostly all about time. The thing is there really isn’t enough time. I realize that I need to make better plans for the future because there really isn’t time for all that I want to do in my life. It's really interesting, lets say... to be here doing the same thing everyday...having a blast and at the same time dreading the fact that someday it will all end. then, I will have to go back to the pressures of life, grades, making lots of money etc., but down here its like a bubble of stress relief. Although at times, I feel that my body always remembers the stress. Sometimes I dream that I have a homework assignment due, and I wake up in a cold well...hot sweat because there isn’t anything cold about Peru, thinking about how I don’t even have my school schedule and worrying about all of the papers I should be writing and then I realize...Hey, that’s my companion...wait I'm in the mission...wait I'm not taking any classes. .. . oh I only have 5 more minutes left to sleep...crap!
Jajaja oh the life of a missionary. But really we are doing awesome in our area. if only it weren’t for the cohabitator ways. We have 3 that we are teaching, and it's just tough because we only can encourage them to get hitched. BTW cohabitating not cool!!! But that’s not too bad, it's just normal for down here. Also normal is that everyone works all the time and no one para en su casa or to say it in English....stops. But that is normal too, the thing that’s really killing us is that we haven't been able to find new people to teach. With the cohabitators, we just have to teach and wait to see if they want to marry. If they don’t want to, then we have to move on...because they can't receive the blessings alone. I think that just might be profound...you can't receive the blessings alone. You always need to work with someone. . . I don’t know if it's doctrine... but I like it.
Oh and btw I made banana pie with cornstarch and not flour well...it turned out alright.... all like masamora, if you even know what that is. Elder Credo said and I quote ¨I like it¨ lets just say he has been practicing English a lot. Oh and a new thing for y'all to try if your down with new plates....cebiche de pota (I think its written right) lets just say its really lemony and has marisco, which I have no idea what it is in English jajajaja.
But to be honest, although my comps a little wacky, and we have lots of racist conversations...as in which race is better. Jajaja Let's just say all is well and practically normal. I have decided that relationships as elders will never be 100% calm. There will almost always be some sort of disaster to deal with. Like him not having money and eating your food, or that he smells bad, or that he spits in the house or that .. . . but the best is when they work like crazy. All of the difficulties in life's relationships can be overcome if we have the same goals. Because at least when we fight, we are moving in the right direction.
I love you all and wish you a merry happy Monday.
May the force be with you,
Elder Preece
