Okay, for you who don't speak Spanish, I have a change! I head out tomorrow for Cusco, then on Wednesday for Puerto Maldonado, in Madre de Dios! Like, NOW, I'm legitly going to the jungle. I'm pretty stoked about it, but I'm not looking forward to sweating even more... the one nice thing, is I'll lose more weight? I hope. Haha.
Monday, we went to Mondor, a big old waterfall! I have a few pictures of that for ya'll. It was really cool. Got a great picture there of Elder Nolan my zone leader/brother... haha seriously, I'm gonna miss him when I go to Puerto!
Tuesday we did a mutual, but since there wasn't power, we were forced to play games and stuff, rather than watch the church movie we were planning on... but it was really good! Made me happy cuz a couple of the youth that weren't coming, are coming now. I feel like I have helped the youth here at least a little bit. One of them, Sunday, when we were saying there might be changes, she looked kinda startled and said to me, "Well I hope not, cuz you're someone real cool!" She is like 13, so it's not anything weird, but it seriously made me feel so good. It's nice to know I made a good influence on someone.
Did splits with Elder Haefelmann again on Thursday, so that was fun. At the end of the day, we said bye to Elder Mendez, cuz he went home yesterday. I sent a picture of him to ya'll too.
Ummm... Oh! One of the families that I have helped activate, the familia Medina, is now officially activated! So, that makes me happy. We did a family home evening with them yesterday, and I'm super glad we did, now that I'm leaving especially.
Got my package! That was nice, thanks for that haha. This week I had the opportunity to work in a restaurant. One of the less actives we are working with has her restaurat, and we went to teach, and she was super busy, so we helped for like an hour serving people haha. It was fun! Also, got my bed this week, so I was no longer sleeping on the floor!
Well, today we emailed late cuz I packed everything and said bye. I almost lost it saying bye to the pensh cuz she started crying, and I was like, "AWWWW!!" But, I kept it together. I also was able to say bye to the family Quispe, which made me super happy. I hope they can keep progressing, and finally get married!
Sweet. I think that's it for this week. OH! Yesterday was our penshs birthday, so, I ate Cuy! It's a little guenia pig! It was interesting. Not gross, but not my favorite food. But, I like the picture I took. the other picture is with Hno Pascual, the guy who walks 2 hours every Sunday. He's the best.
Well. Now that's it. I think. It was a good week overall, and I'm excited to go to the jungle, even if it feels like sitting in an oven. I know I'm here for a reason, and I know that someone in Puerto needs me, and that makes me excited! Thanks for the love and support, hope all is well at home. I'll let ya'll know about Puerto Maldonado! Until next week!
Les quiero mucho!
Elder Richman
