Week 19

Yeah we are really working hard and our numbers are picking up! We have 5 baptisms scheduled for this moths. I hope they all work out. 2 of our investigators have cancer. Two have families that are drunk all the time and interrupt  our lessons with drunk stammering and yelling. And one golden investigator! We also have 3 others that are so perfect but aren't married and just living together (like everyone here) so they can't get baptized :(

But one thing about Peru and the people here. They don't see a real need for refrigerating  things ect... Hermana Odar will pour a bowl of cereal with yogurt...leave it out for all day and night then go to eat it and I'm like NO! Hermana that's been out all night. Yeah so? uhhhhhh. Also meat here....no need to store in cold areas. Its great.

The other day we are in a house for dinner and the member start preparing her fish in front of us. It's like yeah yeah nasty looking and smelling fish then, yep yep she just dipped her hands in nasty used water bucket that her dog is drinking out of then touched our fish agian. Oh then just cut up our salad with a knife she found of the floor.. MMMMMM Im going to die!

Oh and I literally watched a dog get ripped apart the other day. A pack of dogs just picked on a little dog and I'm pretty sure killed it. We were kinda scared out of our minds. I don't think you guys comprehend how many dogs are here.

I'll be walking in the street and I just hear some guy call out ¨Barbie¨. One time my comp said back Yeah but you're NO ken! ( like the barbie Ken) She thought she was so hilarious. He didn't. 

We are really animated for this next month and I am so ready. BUT our branch is so sad right now. It's almost funny how ridiculous our ward council was. Just a bunch of old men yelling at each other. I am actually pretty frustrated with them. I want to be a missionary in a ward like ours in Cali!!!!!!!!!! Where the memebers actually help! And the pres or bishop knows what he is doing. 

Your Peruvian food looks different...delicious but different. haha Thanks for trying
