So this last week was interesting. It was super hard trying to find where directions actually were and they were all mixed up. I learned that there are 3 streets with the same exact name in very different parts of my sector and on top of it all, I was dizzy the entire week and we had no clue why.
But we just keep chuggin' along. Like the Little Engine that could. And you know what? Just like every letter I am pretty sure that I send, at the end of the week, I look back and I say ''Wow, God loves me way too much!''
So a little about my sector, it is small, it is relatively close to the Center of Cusco. And there isn't a lot of dirt roads... I'm actually pretty positive that there aren't any which is nice because there won't be a TON OF MUD when rainy season really gets started pretty soon here.
To start off, this last Monday was pretty good. We made BBQ chicken (thanks to the BBQ sauce that Spencer sent) and we had a delicious AMERICAN lunch as our district. So Last Monday was a good day.
Then during the week, it was so hard to find people, but we have been working with the Aguilar Family. They are SOOOOOOOOOOO cute. Tifany (9 yrs) and Michael (8 yrs) are going to be baptized November 16th. We are just working a LOT with the dad so that he can baptize them!!!! The family has gotten to know a lot of the ward here and I have just fallen in love with the kids. They are so cute and so loving and I think I may bring them home with me! haha
Then we visited Oskar. He was baptized in April and recently hasn't been coming to church. The wonderful part is that I really feel like I am where I am needed. When we knocked on his door, I was pretty sure I had been there before. When he answered, I then remembered. When I had recently gotten my cast off, and was no longer on crutches but still in Cusco, I went with one of the sisters to visit Oskar RIGHT before his baptism. It was so nice that he remembered me and my foot. Haha he asked if I was running and jumping now! But Oskar has been having a rough time lately and luckily we came just in time because their family was not sure exactly what to do. Long story short... Oskar LOVES us and made us dinner... FISH!!!! Which was DELICIOUS!
Other news is that the Bishop asked me to help out with a Young Men's/Young Women's activity... which means that I got to play the piano a lot this week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a blessing because it takes out all of my stress!
The last exciting news... for me at least and anyone that has been out of the country and missed American food is that my friend sent me Nutella which I have savored every bite and spoonful. Well, one of the sisters who lives with me made crepes last night... There is NOTHING better than nutella crepes with banana slices... Made me think of my sister Cassie and Mexico... best breakfast ever! But... not super healthy.
So this pretty much sums up my exciting life. This week my companion and I travel to Valle Sagrado (Urubamba and Ollantaytambo) then next week is Andahuaylas and then the following week to the selva (jungle)!!!!!!! Quillabamba! It should be fun and exhausting. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Love you all!!!
Love,
Hermana Lang
