So this last week was pretty interesting. It was overall a hard one.
But to start off, more about my interesting life here in Peru. We have a pentionista who cook breakfast and lunch for us and then we either don't eat dinner or we buy something or snack. I usually am really not all that hungry with the heat. Also, address here SUCK. They are super hard to find. There aren't street signs and the majority of houses don't have numbers on them and most people don't even know their address. This makes it a bit difficult to find people in our Area Book.
So we have a new zone. 10 new people (half of our zone). It is super fun to have transfers. A little sad to see everyone else leave, but fun to meet new people and learn new things and more excitement.
This past P-day which was moved to Tuesday with transfers was THE whole day because a lot of the sectors don't have people to work in them because we are putting companions with other people who don't have companions. So it was me, Hna Olivera and Hna Creek the whole day. We just enjoyed ourselves. We walked around. We went to the biggest bridge in Peru (don't be too excited, it's not THAT big) we bought smoothies, painted our nails, talked. AND...... we put our mattresses on the floor and built a fort. It was legit. We slept in our awesome fort and told stories :)
So I have found that my new favorite fruit is copasu (but it's not in season until spring time...) and I LOVE Ahi de gallina. Definitely the best meal I have had here.
So to start off, my camera was stolen... I was super worried about what to do. And then the next day, I found out from my pentionista that she had my camera! What a blessing! Her grandchildren were playing with my backpack and had taken it out!
Well, then, our guy Fransisco who is working to be baptized, we haven't been able to find him ALL this week. Plus, our family of gold, Richard and Delsy, they are leaving for a month for Cusco. We will definitely call them to see how they are, but that is a LONG time to be gone. Hopefully they will still be excited when they come back. We will be praying for them.
Also, our convert Fransisco is moving..... This broke my heart a little bit.
Next, I had this goal to run every morning this week. Monday-Wednesday, we weren't able to leave our apartment, so Thursday, I was super excited to get up and run. We leave our apartment and the park is closed. No big deal, I'll just run around the perimeter. We saw a couple walking their dog on a leash (which I've never seen someone use a leash here btw). The dog was super friendly. So I begin my run. I am about 3/4s of the way done with my circle and I pass this couple with their dog. Well other dogs in the street started to bark and this sweet little dog got scared and so it jumped....... and..... BIT MY LEG!!!!!!!! I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. So we went to the hospital. I have to take these pills for infection and they told me not to walk for a couple of days (oops! I may have been walking right after we left the hospital). It's starting to bruise now, but at least it has stopped bleeding.
Well, so we went by the house of this guy with the dog later so they could pay for the costs. Come to find out, she's a less active member, their neighbors are this family where the grandpa is interested, the son is a member, and their granddaughter found us on the street and we have been trying to find her ever since. What a miracle! Then we contacted the house across from them. The lady there is interesting. She won't be baptized but says the church is true and has read the Book of Mormon. We asked her for a reference and we met the girl next door. Alexandra!!!!!!! Alexandra wants to be baptized. She knows a little bit about the church already, but not a ton, but we taught her the restauration and she is AWESOME!!! So we'll see her Wednesday. Anyways, super awesome! She's 18 years old!!!!!! Anyways, there are always miracles when you look for them, but overall, this week was hard.
Well, I love you all, but haven't heard from you guys in about 2 weeks! Write me emails!!! Ya??? Love you!
Love,
Hermana Carly Jo Lang
