this month is the festival of the virgen here in huamachuco and people from
all over south america come and friday, saturday, and sunday were the
central days with concerts and 40 firework castles in the plaza which was
the root of literally tens of thousands of drunks, and its horrible to see
how an entire city can become a place where Satan is present. i really felt
like i didnt want to be here those days. last week i had to go to trujillo
thursday night for a meeting friday morning where i got to start the
training and teach the Doctrine of Jesus Christ, i felt the Spirit very
strongly and was able to learn a lot. then after we went to the
dermatologist for my companion, and a miracle, last thursday the branch
president and mission leader from Otuzco, my first area in the mission, came
to Huamachuco to repart materials and fill out the inscriptions for seminary
and institute.......i dont know for sure, but i think that its a 1/1000000
chance that a family group has the church educational program in such little
time. the members are so excited, and our pensionist who served his mission
in chile, is going to teach institute, and a convert sister will teach
seminary. im pretty stoked to see the testimonies and faith of the members
strengthened! tonight the assistant to president with another elder are
gonna come visit us which will be sweet. they havent come for like 5 months
since president mora made his last visit here. not much else in news right
now cuz my brain is frozen i cant remember anything right now, maybe cuz the
cold. but ill attach some pictures!!! love and miss you all, and hope all is
well back home in your family lands as they say here in peru. i sent a box
of beanies for mom, my 4 sisters, peter, for their birthdays, dont worry
tyler will come! and audrey, lucy, and elyse for being the older neices, my
neighbor only makes small enough for them. ha.
