Hey family!!
And everyone else!
So, looks like
I am going to finish my mission in a place called Sicuani,
Peru. (Look it up on Google) It’s a small-ish zone tucked up
in the Andes about 3 hours outside of Cusco. Its also just 3
hours away from where I started the mission – Puno! Haha.
It’s a really cold zone, and I am stoked to be Elder
Burboa’s comp. He’s from Chile, and we are the Zone Leaders
here. We have lots of plans to be visiting all the elders
and to work with all of them. We have the highest altitude
in the mission at Espinar. It’s about 2-3 hours from Sicuani
and has an altitude of… uh… something like 3,900 meters,
which is in feet somewhere around 14,500. Its pretty cold
there, haha. So, I’m stoked to be here, even though its
pretty cold, well, at nights and mornings. Its actually kind
of like a mini-Juliaca. Hahahaha, I never thought I would
come to this zone, but I know that the Lord needs me here
for one reason or another. Elder Williams and I actually
came here to have a baptism like a year ago. Oh, and my
pension ROCKS. We are all a family it feels like. We
actually live in the same building as another companionship,
and its really fun. She made French toast the other day!! Seriously, I’m loving it here! I’ve
learned that in the mission, its not where you serve, but
how you serve. And attitude is everything! I personally feel
like I have a great attitude coming to this zone, and that’s
a key ingredient to having success. I’m confident I will
have success this change. Especially with Elder Burboa, he’s
really awesome. We get along great, seeing that we have been
friends before.
So, MOTHERS
DAY! I thought it was like 5 months away?? Now its next
week? What? Time is really flying by. Goodness! So, we will
be talking most likely toward the nighttime, I think.
Sometime during the afternoon. I will be letting you know.
No worries! I love when I hear from my little brothers!!
Thanks so much for writing, Ethan. You da best! And shame on
the rest. Ha, that rhymed.
So, the work is
kinda slow for now, but we are working hard to have some
baptisms this change, to find those chosen souls that are
out there looking for the truth. I don’t have much time to
write, I’m sorry! But Internet is faster here, so next week
I will send pics!
I love you all!
Please pray for us and the Sicuani Zone! We need it!
