Not a terribly exciting week as far as the work of salvation
goes. We went to a multi zone conference in Abancay last week. It's
about four hours away so we stayed in a hotel overnight. The president
was there though and told me that I read Spanish like a pro. I told him,
"Thanks! One day I'll understand what I'm reading!" It was nice though.
Elder Johanson told me that I pronounce things really well and read
better than most of the other new missionaries, I think I pronounce
things well because I've always done music and I have a good ear so I
can hear how it's supposed to sound.
We also
got a new house that is probably one of the nicest houses in the entire
mission. It has two stories, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living
room, and a kitchen. It's pretty legit.
It
rained really hard the other day and our pensionistas house and
backyard flooded so we spent about two hours just trying to keep the
water from getting any higher in their house. Their puppy also got hit
by a moto taxi earlier that day and they're still not 100 percent sure
if it will live, so it wasn't a very good day for them. I felt really
bad.
We've been teaching English to one of our
less actives and I gave an entire lesson by myself this week and shared a
spiritual thought at the end so that was cool. I can understand about
40 percent of 20 percent of the people we teach. haha! I also gave a
spiritual thought at a family home evening and I don't think any of them
understood me LOL. Peruvians are funny. They're very direct when they
talk to you. Most of them just think you're stupid if you can't speak
Spanish, and some of them aren't afraid to tell you that. The worst part
is if you don't speak Spanish you can't prove them wrong.
Other
than that we're still working hard and doing our best! I love you all! The Church is more true than it was
last week!
Love,
Elder Tate
