So yeah I got your package with the shirts in it like Friday
but I didn’t get any other so you could write the lady. I’m doing great this
week was tough at the beginning because it was just a lot of responsibility I
had to lead the lessons really with my investigators but it went well and
worked out great. We had a tough couple days because Elder Jemin (Elder
Jackson’s companion) was kind of grumpy because he was leading the blind a
little and was just not happy so me and Jackson took over and just led and
talked the whole time it was pretty great but Jemin apologized the next day and
we’ve all been great ever since. Yeah nobody is coming for me I got 2 more
weeks with Jackson and Jemin were everywhere in Rioja. It’s cool leading myself
and having responsibility it kind of pushes me so that’s good. I’m trying to
focus on people and what they need because I know the lessons but each person
is different. It’s been a great week really. Ok so the funny thing this week
that happened is we started fasting Saturday at like 2 and we went strong for
like 2 hours and we taught a lesson and I made a joke about popcorn and so
guess what they made popcorn totally forgot I was fasting after five fists of
popcorn Jemin looks at me and says we’re fasting idiot. I had the biggest eyes
like oh my gosh I’m a freaking idiot so Jackson and Jemin are dying but ya boii
isn’t gonna let this popcorn go to waste so finished it and went and said a
prayer in the lady’s room and started all over it was pretty funny Jackson and Jemin
still give me crap.
That’s great that Meagan is going to the I so is Jackson he
told me this week so operation get Jackson to the I is complete now operation
get king to the I is a go. I thought Alex got like a job till the end of the
school year. I’m doing great mom I’m having a ton of fun and the food is so
good thank you so much it’s good to know your parents love you sometimes lol. It’s
not that hot here but there are somedays where it gets up there. . that’s about
it the thing is mom I just have fun because of my stupid little jokes that I
have with people like there are fruit venders here and we just make fun of how
they talk and stuff like one big joke is “4 eggs for 1 sol [Peruvian dollar]”
so we will just ask people if they have heard the good news and talk about “4
juevos por un sol” and it’s just stupid stuff but it’s so funny. I’m doing awesome
my Spanish is definitely growing.
Yeah the jerky is the best! OK another story I just remembered
it was carnival in Rioja and we still had to go out this was today, but
everyone in the whole town was just crazy lot of drunks but they just throw
water on everyone. So we left the house and first thing Jemin the Peruvian gets
pegged with water so me and Jackson start dying. We teach a lesson and go to
dinner then Jemin has to potty so we go back to the house and I unlock the door
go in and just water gets thrown all over Jemin. Jackson avoided it but Jemin
got soaked it was so funny and we had to stay in the house they were partying
in the street and had like a huge tree in the road it was weird but so funny
they tried to throw water at us but we were to high it was really funny.
The tri-comp is lit. It’s kind of hard for everyone to talk
but it’s really fun me and Jackson are having so much fun we just joke around
all day its awesome. The week was good the investigators are still the same we didn’t
get any new ones but I think we will this week. Church attendance was terrible
for both of us. I feel a lot better but like my mouth hurt like just the inside
I don’t know why. It’s been like that but I think it’s getting better. I got
moms package so ya boii is eating good and Jackson got his so he got all candy
we are eating real good. P-day last week was pretty chill we went to a jungle
place but it was flooded so we just chilled and ate ice cream - it was pretty
fun. We play a lot of chess. The weather is great here I’m going to die when I
go to Iquitos though lol. I’ve given my testimony multiple times but ok this is
the weird thing - in Spanish I don’t cry! I’m like mom too like even in a
lesson I still haven’t cried there have been times when I have felt the Spirit
super strong and haven’t cried it’s crazy I think its Spanish versus English
thing -I don’t get it. We teach a class just for the investigators and for
recent converts and we are in there and they have like an 18 year old kid lead
it and we are just there to help. We are a branch so it’s not a lot of people. I
feel like my Spanish is definitely growing but it’s still tough I can understand
basically everything like some guy told me a pretty long story and I got it for
the most part few words here and there but I’m getting there. I’m doing great Jackson
is so much fun. Love you tons.
