Hola Familia!!!
Ok first let me hurry and answer your questions. I have not
heard anything on my package yet. I
might this week and possibly next week. When
the newbies from the CCM come to the mission, someone said sometimes that they forward
packages with the next transfer. Also mom there is a courier that goes to Peru.
They have a Facebook page. Hermana Marble was telling me about it. And
apparently it is a lot cheaper. One Hermana in the mission gets a package every
month from her parents. Crazy. Also the picture you took of my apartment last
week is correct. Go through the small window on the second floor and that’s my
front door. pretty nasty... jk I’ll
admit it, It does look pretty sketchy. Do not send mail to that address! I will
not get it. Send it to the mission home
or to the mission offices. All that information should be on the mission Facebook
page. Hermana Marble has a bunch of info and all that jazz on there.
So I’m doing better this week. I’m not fantastic and I
probably wouldn’t say I’m good. But I’m taking each day by day and pushing
through it. I’ve discovered one thing about the mission this last week and it’s
that the mission brings out emotions in a person they didn’t know they had.
This last week’s I’ve been struggling a bit with anxiety, it’s been rough
because I’ve always been a super tough person and now here I am finding myself
freaking out over little things that don’t matter. It’s even worse when my
companion doesn’t talk to me for like 5 hours. Ya that really brings out the
anxiety. lucky me I’ve got an awesome mission president who has been helping me
a lot. And there is a book they gave us at the beginning of the field that’s
really been helpful. And again I’m just taking each day 1 at a time.
ok now for all the good stuff.
I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luis got baptized!!!!
Anyways I know he is gonna be a great member in the church. He’s already
started being a missionary! He invited his friend to come to church and he was
really happy to have him there because none of his family came for his
confirmation. he’s 11 and his friend is 9 and they came alone! I am so proud of
him.
Oh and something weird happened this week. My companion got
sick Wednesday and she had to not proselyte for the last part of the day
because her head hurt so bad. Well the next morning at breakfast she was
telling our Pensinista about it and I kinda zoned out for a minute and then I
looked up again after zoning out and my Peninista is wiping down my companion with
a piece of newspaper. ok weird... well it gets weirder. After she finished
wiping my companion down she crumpled up the paper went off to the side and lit
it on fire. Did I mention that we are in her house? Which is technically our
house too!!!! ya apparently here in Trujillo
there is a disease called "chucaque" its only in Trujillo and you get
it from someone who looks at you with strong eyes. (when they glare at you) so
basically it’s a curse. These people are very superstitious. Very. It’s kinda
funny but can we keep the lighting things on fire for a different place? Like outside?
Also mom can you send me the lyrics for the song Michael Jackson
sings in Free Willy???
Oh and I learned that here "freaking" is a really
bad word. Ya I learned that the hard way. We were in a meeting with the ward
mission leader.... ya I am never gonna live that down. Anyways it’s been fun here!!!
This next week will be better I know it!
Love you all!
Love
