Hello all,
How´s it goin? I hope everyone had a great week.
This week was good! My companion and I are super close now and are teaching better together. We have a lot of promising investigators and are working hard in the work of the Lord. I´m grateful for this time I have as a missionary to share the gospel and experience a new culture firsthand.
Today for Preparation Day we went to Los Cañones! (the canyons) and took some cool pictures. It was a two hour drive both ways but worth the view. My zone is super fun and I love hanging out with them.
I began teaching English classes with Hermana Valenzuela and its super fun! Every Friday at 6pm we have a class, and its so good. The sad thing is, cambios are in two weeks so if I get transferred, I wont get to teach English anymore but its okay. We´ll see what happens.
We have eaten a lot of tuna this week… and no, not the fish. The prickly fruit that grows on cactus. It's everywhere here and everyone is going to the selve (jungle) to pick tuna and sell it here in Huamanga. It's like girl scout cookie season… kinda.
There has also been a lot of rain this week… what's new. Haha
We explored to the end of the world (the end of our area) this week in a place we had never gone so that was fun. We walked along, dodging vicious dogs and curious children. Also we almost got hit by water balloons. Since it’s the month before Carnavales, everyone likes to throw water or water balloons off their roof to hit the people walking down below… Which unfortunately is always me. And I stick out like a sore thumb so I'm an obvious target. Luckily I haven’t been hit too hard yet, just a little. But one time we were in a bus and someone threw a balloon at the open window and it almost made it inside the bus to splash the innocent people inside. Its cruel.. but keeps things interesting haha.
We are having *invasions* as las hermanas in my zone. We all meet in one area, and divide and conquer for two hours, looking for old investigators, contacting people on the street, and knocking on doors to look for people who are interested. Then we give all of these references to the hermanas in this area and now they have a lot of people to work with! It's cool. So far we've done Garcilazo and Mariscal 1. Americas 1 and 2 are this week.
Well my friends, and fam, I have a lot of pictures to share like usual. Enjoy J
I love you all! Until next Monday!
Hermana Lowe
We didn't receive a call from Brittany this week but in regards to the new opportunity for her to call/text family on a weekly basis as needed, she said: "I will let you know what I wanna do!" which to me, means that she is doing well, and I know she is happy and is going to do what is best for her! Even though it's hard as a mom to want to talk to her, it brings me more joy that she is happy and doing well, and eventually she will probably call us.
Hey momma...Here's some random facts about my life that I was thinking about this week that I could tell you.
1- I'm officially a curb walking expert because it rains so much the curb is the only dry place to walk.
2- I do my own laundry and have been since I got to the field. We were gonna find a lavenderia but it's easier to do it at home and cheaper.
3- One time we were taking a bus and we were in the very back seat and we went over a bump super fast and I totally CAME OFF THE SEAT. Terrifying. Absolutely crazy! hahaha
