So first, Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. its wierd to think im not a teen anymore. I have alwasy felt like i was over 20 and now that its here i feel like a little kid again... haha.
Thanks to the hovanski family for the birthday card. and Collin Willardsen i finally got your letter haha. I will write back to you soon.
So this week has been long. we have had a lot of service projects. (one being digging a sewage trench for a brother in the stake, hence the fotos) haha... we have been travelign to caracucho a lot more lately to help the families reactivate. they are becoming stronger members. and we will be able to baptized their kids soon. sister gladys, the mom of one of the families, bore her testimony this sunday. it was amazing. she expressed her gratitude to us as misionaries and then said she was so happy to see the hand of god again in her life through us as missionaries. it made me think a little about the importance of our calling. Im so glad we have been able to be worthy tools in the lords hands.
school for all the kids starts this week so everyone has been freaking out the last 3 days. haha. it will be a new experience to work around the school schedule here in Morrope.
This week i got to try two new foods. squid, and guavana. squid was good (just like chicken haha) and guavana... wow... the weirdest fruit i have ever seen. its a long green fruit like a banana but when you open it there are seeds with a sugary substance that looks like snow all around. so its like eating warm sugary snow... strange... haha but delicious. im sending a foto i hope it gets through. (oh i also got to try goat this week. super flavorful but tough, but good) haha
so BIG news!!! i just found out this week they are opening 2 new missions in peru!!!! what!!! haha its so awesome. its due the sudden rise in number of missionaries. :D there will be an iquitos mission now and one other that i cant remember the name. (iquitos is in the middle of the jungle haha, that mission is going to be INTENSE haha)
sorry this is so short,
I love you all,
Always turn outward, and keep smiling!
