Week 35: Eight Months


Hey everybody, 

Wow how time flies, yesterday was 8 months in the mission. That is crazy and this Sunday is Skype!!!!! YAYY. This week was as really good week. It started with an intercambio with Elder Newell, Tuesday morning, we ate crepes with a member. Then on the way back to Pueblo Nuevo Tuesday my comp and I got thrown into the trunk of a car (they fit three in the front 2 seats, 3 in the back seats, and 2 or 3 in the trunk). It was very tight and then our car broke down half way so we waited for another car to come, and we got thrown into an even smaller trunk. Two huge gringos shouldn't be put in 1 trunk, but we survived. 

Wednesday we had an open chapel in Paita. On Saturday morning had a super awesome service project. We woke up at 5:30 then went and for 3 hours we torn down this members house, we started off by ripping off his tin roof, then removing the doors and windows, then with hammers, sticks, and our feet we took down the walls. They were made of sticks and mud, so it was just a matter of strength and destruction. It was super fun and dangerous. The hand of the Lord saved us a few times.

 Then we made American pancakes with syrup on Saturday and it was super delicious!! Funniest moment of the week was in church this week we sang a Christmas hymn as the closing hymn of sacrament meeting, it was super funny nobody even batted an eye. My comp and I lost it. But in good news, our investigator Pierina is progressing really well and will hopefully be baptized on the 19th if she gets permission from her mother!!! 

Today we went to Piura bought material to make some awesome ties! Then ate at Chili's and drank venti caramel frapps!!! That is about it for the week!  Next week are transfers,  we will see what happens, I just really hope I stay here, I don't want to leave, I am loving Pueblo Nuevo!!! 

Love, 
Elder Luke Gruber
