For those of you that don’t know, we had a pet
guinea pig once upon a time. Her name was Tym. Yes, it was a she. And she
was named Tym. Don’t ask why.
Anyway, as a farewell lunch, one of the families here decided to cook us an
Arequipan delicacy: guinea pig. They cooked it on a spit over coals. It
looks gross in the pictures (well, in real life, too) but it tasted fine.
Like always, it tasted like chicken. I just thought I was eating rotisserie
chicken.
As missionaries, we always have the
chance to share our testimonies. I, personally, don’t often share personal
experiences. I don’t usually say things like, “In my house…”,”In my
family…”,”Before my mission…” I usually just testify and say, “I know
by (the Spirit, prayer, personal experience) that these things are true.” A
sister in the ward this week told me that after sharing that my parents

I will only be writing home 2 more times
before I’m actually home. It’s really weird to think about.
I know that my mission is quickly coming to a close, but we’re still

Church. It was a really neat experience for the two of them. Here are some
pictures!
Another great week has come and gone. We
have a new mission president, baptisms this week and next, and lots of good
things planned.
Monday: We went out to lunch with some members. We went to eat pizza. Then
we watched Zootopia. I’m not sure if that’s the name in English or Spanish.
But it’s a new movie about a bunny/rabbit who becomes a police officer in
the animal society. I enjoyed it. We had popcorn and soda, too, while we
watched. It was good. When we left our room to go to our family home
evenings, Continue reading →
We broke our record of investigators in
Church this week! We had 10 investigators there! And 6 of our investigators
didn’t come, so we could’ve had 16! But 10 is good enough, for now. I hope
that it goes up next week.
Everything’s been great here! Our new mission president gets here tomorrow.
We’re going to have a meeting and get to know him on Wednesday. His name is
President Johnson from Salt Lake. It’ll be interesting to see what changes
he makes in the mission.
