A WEEK IN TRUJILLO

Well, this week I sure did have a lot of fun out of Otuzco haha.  I was in an area called Florencia de Mora, dont ask me to translate it because I really dont know how to translate it haha.  I am starting to forget the words in English, oh wait, that happened a while back haha...  So anyway, this ward is an actual ward...  wow strange...  There were only young men blessing and passing the sacrament and it was in an actual chapel.  wow.. It was weird.  I almost felt like I was back home.  The ward is huge!!!  Thats the biggest difference between everything here and there is well Spanish haha.

So this week I was working with an Elder from Chile.  He is awesome haha.  His name is Elder Riquelme.  He has definitely become a close friend of the mission haha.  

So things about Christmas, I will be calling home this Friday to set up the time to call.  I honestly dont know if I will be able to use skype.  I will be in Otuzco for Christmas.  There are places but Idk if they will be open on Christmas.  This wednesday, thursday and friday i will be looking for somewhere to go.  Dont worry I will have the answer for friday night of how everything will be working out there.  and yes, i was thinking about calling dad first with nickolas austin and susan and then after calling mom just like last christmas... wow last christmas.  this is my last christmas... wow...

I got the christmas package honestly 1 day before I took off for Trujillo haha.  So most of the stuff is there in my room.  Wow I really do like those drink mixes more than anything haha.  They are amazing haha.  So it sounds like you guys all had fun this week haha.  The Christmas program huh. second row?  Crazy haha.  So tomorrow, we are going to be singing in the plaza de armas in Trujillo.  If I read right on the Blog of the mission, the thing will be broadcasted for the blog so if you guys want to watch it, I think itll be there tomorrow like starting at 7:30.  

Grandpa, Happy Birthday haha.  the 16th.  It was funny. here there was a kid that had his birthday the 15th.  I said that day that his birthday (cumpleano) was that day and the day before was my birthmonth (cumplemes).  the kid and his family just started laughing a ton haha.  

Oh this week I was staying in the room of the Elders in this area.  I wanted to take my camera prosyliting but its way dangerous here.  I didnt know at first but wednesday night I saw President Turk.  I then later that night found out why there arent north americans in my zone in trujillo.  Like 10 years ago, north americans were kidnapped in the area where im at and so after paying the ransom, the Mission President pulled the missionaries from the area and put only latins here in this zone.  I was extremely careful after that haha. 

Well I have fotos to send this next week.  Sorry Ive got to go but I will be calling Friday probably at 8:30 your time haha

Love you guys.
