the biggest milagro happened last pday!!!!! first off while you were all celebrating memorial day i was celebrating perus dia de la papa!! haha it was funny. i had no idea but holy cow!!! they had potato everything! we even ate potato ice cream. it was interesting.. but as i was sitting there trying the potato ice cream someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. it was Jhonny Bernachea! my first convert from cerro de pasco! i had been looking for him forever. i knew he moved to huancayo but no one knew him. so i figured he went inactive. he said he is still going to church and he really wants to go on a mission still! he is still praying about it especially now because he acompanies the elders at their citas. he goes out with them and loves it. it was the biggest joy of my life seeing him still sooo happy! i wanted to hug him but couldnt haha. it was such a happy day. so im so glad to hear that he is moving forward and even wants to go on a mission. que alegria!
also for our last p day we had a huge game of capture the flag in the woods of peru. we had to come with a made weapon. i made num chucks!!! its all out of toilet paper rolls... it was so sick. no one wanted to touch me haha. hna crawford and i went dressed up as ninjas. we looked the coolest can i just say. but we werent even playing for more than five minutes when the cops came and kicked us out.. booo. i think we will do it another day. it was super fun though. family be prepared. we will play that when i get home in the woods.
this p day we went to a city called Izcuchaca on a train! it was fun! it was a legit train and we just got back so thats why im writing late. it was this cute little city and we felt like we were on polar express haha. but they only served sketchy tea in gatorade bottles not hot chocolate haha. but it was super fun!
yesterday was elections for peru. it was crazy. once again we didnt have church. kind of weird but we did get a new president of peru. kind of funny how the only candidates were a japanese woman and a white dude. where are all the peruvians??? they need to represent better.
Not going to lie. this week was a struggle with a sick companion so we werent able to work like we wanted. but we are going to work a lot harder this coming week. we got the strength and the motivation we just have to go do it! YAY for the work of the Lord!
XOXO
