Hey all,
This week was a great week, not a ton happened, but it
was still the best week ever. Started on Tuesday with our multi-zone conference. The theme
was repentance, it was really good, I learned a lot, and it was nice to see
friends that I haven't seen since the beginning of my mission.
Tuesday I also
completed 6 months from when I entered the MTC. 1/4 of the way done, its crazy,
its starting to fly by so fast now. So to celebrate I bought a liter of coke,
and burned a tie. Funny story of the week, we were at a mission call opening
for a member that got called to Lima, but we were sitting in his house
after wards really bored, so we put a fake call on our phone. So in 5 minutes we
would get a call and pretend something came up and we would take some snacks
and leave. But we got handed some food right as the phone went off, so when my
companion went to reach for the phone, he smacked his food out of his hand and
all over the floor. We then had to clean it up, and then we had to stay another
20 minutes until we could find another good time to bounce.
I also saw a dog
this week that had a leg with out skin, the entire leg you could just see bone
and muscle, it was super cool, I wish I had my camera to take a photo, then I also saw a huge pitbull that got strangled to death by its owner with metal
wire and throw into the street. Classic Peru. I also spent 20 soles this week
only on soda dias (saltine crackers), I eat them for breakfast and dinner
almost everyday.
Sunday we had our stake conference, and we confirmed a
baptism that we are going to have this Saturday. If all goes well we will have
2 baptisms this Saturday. Then today we went to a big mall here in Piura, ate Papa Johns Starbucks, and went shopping, I bought 3 cool pairs of socks for 20
soles. That's about it for the week, it was awesome, but crazy that its already
the half way mark of the transfer.
Love and miss you all a ton,
Elder Luke Gruber
