HAHAHAHAHA Merry Christmas
Hey the internet did not work yesterday so now we got permission from president to write right now.. how are you.. this week went well. The past week we did a work visit with the elders from Pucala. It was a little annoying because it was scheduled that I would stay in our area and Elder Darrington would go to pucala. They called the morning of and changed it all. It was actually annoying, but what evers you go where you go. It turned out well.
The
only thing is work visits are always fun and something different always
happens... for example the penscion of pucala gave me a tomale.. the
last time they were delicious but thing time well lets just say i almost
barfed. I was half way through eating the tamale when I bit into some
chicken that was completely raw. How gross. I walked with elder Lozano
and block and then I threw it to the dogs... the sad part is the dogs
would not even touch the tamale either.... that is when you know it is
bad. The good part of the work visit is that it was the birthday of one
of the members there. We were just passing by and we saw all these
little kids eating cake, popcorn, and jell o. Next thing I know the ward
mission leader, a big fat dude, was calling the kids over... He
basically coerced the kids to show them what they had then he ripped the
popcorn out of the hands out of one of the smaller children. The sight
was hilarious a grown man stealing popcorn from a 3 year old. Later the
family ended up giving us cake, jell o, and popcorn. The best part was
that the little kids tried to get even with the ward mission leader of
pucala. The little kid ran in got some of his older buddies and they
started to attack the poor guy. His shirt was white when we started and
later it is completely covered in dirt and grime.. . Moral of the story
is do not steal popcorn from a peruvian.
On
friday we went and sang in the plaza de armas or the town center of
chiclayo. It was a blast to sing and see a lot of my friends and buddies
from the mission. The cool thing is the mayor of chiclayo was there and
also a whole camera crew, so we were live in the peruvian television.
We also contacted like crazy there in the square.. .there were so many
people. at the end of the night we stayed in chiclayo.. the best part is
we stayed in the room of the zone leaders of chiclayo central which one
of them is elder nordhoff my old companion. He took us to eat at a nice
american style pizza place, where I ate the best pizza I have tried in
peru... Why was it so good, well because an american made it... The
owner of the store is a guy named Bob that moved to peru married a girl
and started a pizza restaurant. . the guy is awesome... he is from
portland maine.... He also also taking the lessons from the
missionaries... he will b e a great member.
Pedro
pablo is doing well... Each time we meet with him he tells us more how
since he has taken the visits from us he has changed and become
basically a new creature... The man is inspiring... he lives in one of
the humblest houses I have seen, yet he is happier than ever.... Money
does not equal happiness folks... He is perparing for the 23rd of January.... This man is a testimony builder... you guys just got to meet him one day.
Well
feliz navidad,,,, Go UTES... 5 consecutive games in a row over the
BYU... Remember... Ha Nacido un Salvador
