Hey!

Once again I don’t have much time to write but I’ll tell the important things. Last Saturday I went out on the streets again, one guy committed to coming to church just because he wanted to speak english with me at church the next day. We taught a couple lessons, one was with two deaf ladies, who couldn’t see very well and had to share the same pair of glasses, and switch every time we read them something. Then we met an old couple, the old man was in a wheel chair with a catheter from you know where, running to a bag on the floor which had leaked all the pee, then he gave at least a 7 min prayer, that lesson was frustrating. Then we walked out the door and some guy across the street yelled elders and wanted us to come over. We went over and he started yelling at us, saying we had no right to be here and that god was dead. It was really hard, not because what he was saying was true but it was really degrading after a frustrating day. Thanks for talking to me last night. I’m going to turn things around and man up or cowboy up as dad says, lol. Thanks for the support and look forward to your emails.

Hay, just got back from our tour of down town Lima it was awesome. Got some really good pictures and videos of the places of where the spanish inquisition happened, where the Gov. is a creepy catholic cathedral. The best part is when we went to pizza hut, we all ate a ton of pizza and its considered fine dinning here, we had waiters, fancy plates and were offered wine haha. I got a couple of cool peruvian things like a soccer jersey, backpack and beanie for about 20 us dollars. Today was the best day yet, really stress free and fun, we get to stay up tonight and wait for the new latinos to come in. I got a new comp. who’s name is elder barney, he’s from thatcher arizona and is really chill and probably the type of companion i need right now. my last one was a good worker and missionary but to serious and cared more about his spanish than the people he was teaching and especially me. All the americans that are getting latinos are getting them cause their spanish sucks, so i guess thats a good thing right? haha well I’m going go play futbol. Life’s good, thanks for writing me and I’ll have things turned around in no time.
