Hola Familia,
This week has been
so crazy. Time goes by so fast it is unreal, I can’t even believe it in the
first place ha ha. Last P-day we played soccer with our district and that was
way fun. Other than that we just knocked on doors ha ha. We try and talk to as
many people as we possibly can. We have meetings with our district all the
time. It is nice to see other missionaries. A lot of the appointments that we
set up fall through. Which is so sad, I wished that they would all work out and
that the people would be able to hear our message. I love to study in the
morning and learn more of the doctrine.
One of our
investigators became sick and had to go the hospital. We went to the hospital to
visit but were unable to find him. The hospital was filthy. I can’t believe the
situations there compared to those that we have in the states. It is unreal how
people in Peru live and how humble they are.
Part of our area is
so far way that we have to take a bus there. It is where our laundry is done.
The people are very poor but seem more than willing to accept the gospel.
Church is always so nice to be at. It is fun to see when our investigators come
to Church and keep their promises. But it is frustrating when they don’t come.
We only had 3 people come this past week to Church. We do have a couple of investigators
that will most likely have a baptismal date for some time in Septiembre
(September).
This past Sunday we
ate at the Bishop’s house, geez I have never eaten so much food. It was so
good. I didn’t eat dinner that night or breakfast the next morning because I
ate so much. But the food here is good and nothing else has made me sick yet ha
ha. I will be able to hike anywhere in church shoes after this ha ha. It is
like going straight up mountains. We pretty much eat chicken, rice and potatoes
all the time. Pretty much every day is the same. I like it though, it is nice
to be able to spend time talking with people. My Spanish is coming along but I
do wish I could speak better. I can understand a lot more than I am able to
speak. They all talk too fast but it will come, I know that. Thank you so much
for all the support. Everyone take care.
Love,
Elder Cooley
