Sweet is the Work

dearest family and friends

had cambios. 

 

staying here in california peru with my companion hermana paiva

 

this week 

we rescued another soul. this less active is now active. 

we have rescued every weekend but not baptised in a while.... i just need to accept that in not here for baptisms. im here for CONVERSION! and it is just as sweet to see someone take the sacrament and renew their covenant. it is so sweet!!! 

this week we are finishing the final prearations for our talent show. its called CALIFORNIAS GOT TALENT. and the sister missionaries are doing CHIN PUPPETS as their act. we are opening and ill pray my uke and sing you are my sunshine. yes even the latinas will sing you are my sunshine. its gonna be good. 

 

then my comp and i are participating in a skit called THE CONVERSION. we play the roll of the missionaries.... duh 

but its all music! its a bunch of latino songs put together in one. (obv i dont know them but im learning) and its pretty sweet. im excited to see how it goes. 

also this weekend we have the devotional in Esperannza ( kinda far) two other sisters and i arranged "abide with me tis eventide" in spanish with the ukulele. its gonna be pretty. its a devotional of all music and mormon messages and nothing else! no talks, just pure music and videos. what a strong spirit. we are pretty excited about that. 

 

 

El brujo

 

 

this week my companion hurt her foot in football so i had to go out and prosolyte with a member for a day while my comp stayed in bed. but she is better now (thank goodness). but then the next day she all of a sudden got sick to her stomach and we couldnt figure out why,,,, the pensionista said " its CHUKAKE". let me explain.... chukake happens as a result of deep embarrassment and it makes you want to puke. there are only two ways of getting rid of it. one, by passing a guinie pig (cuy) over your body, arms legs, head.... then cutting open the poor animal in the gut and there, you will see (physically) what it was that you had.... you find THE CHUKAKE and it is now in the animal and not you and you feel better,,,,

second way.... if you dont have a guinie pig on hand, you use an egg. well in this case, we used the egg. my pensionista took an egg, and procedded to run the shelled egg over my comps stomach in the shape of a cross then her legs and arms then her head, then turned her over and her back.... and i just sat there in awe.... more like terror at this which craft. she then took a glass of water and cracked the "infected" egg into the glass. she skeptically analyzed the raw egg in water and then exclaimed "there!!!! THERE IT IS! your CHUKAKE... its out! youll feel better very soon". i looked at the glass and saw..... nothing.... but i wasnt going to tell her that. i then proceeded to be excited with her..... yay its out..... i guess. 

 

hahaha it was pretty wierd. but cool 

and that was my week 

 

i learned spiritual things too dont worry. like how to rely on the spir it and have charity and be PATIENT. lots of patience this week. 

 

i love you all 

happy july
