Hey all,
So this week was the bomb! Every week keeps flying by and I got robbed this week, just not quite how you would think.
Last week I went to Paita and paid the driver with a 50 sol bill, he accepted
and everything was cool. But then this week he found us walking in the street
and claimed I paid him with a fake 50 sol bill, he pulled it out and it was
paper that was peeling apart and claimed I payed with it. Which I know for a
100% fact I didn't. Then told me that its because us gringos just don't know
money like Peruvians. And because I didn't want him going around telling everybody
that the Mormon missionaries are thief's and pay with fake bills and put a bad
name on the church, I had to trade him and he robbed me of 50 sols, it was
rather frustrating. (the bad part of standing out in a crowd, people can find
the gringo dressed in white shirt and tie and hold him to false claims)
Also we have some new rules as missionaries,
1. We now have to wake up everyday at 6:30 :( 1 less
hour of sleep
2. We have to be in our bed sleeping at 10:30 sharp (before
it was 11ish)
3. We cant eat dinner after 8 pm, normally we eat dinner
around 9:30 or 10, but now we have to eat before the 8.
4. We can watch movies but we cant download or buy pirated
movies (which is literally the only way to buy movies here)
I also used the waffle maker this week, and made waffles 2
times! one time we added to much baking powder and flour and they were very
dense, but the second time they were perfect!!! Then we also made grilled
cheese in the waffle maker and it was the bomb!!!
Also we had a lesson with our investigator, and the first
thing he asked was "When are we going to the river for my baptism," he is super excited to be baptized, and attended again yesterday, the plan is
to be baptized this Saturday if all goes as planned!!!
That's about it, we got transfers, and I'll be staying here
for the next 6 weeks with the same companion which I am super happy for!!!
Every day here is the best day ever!!!
Love,
Elder Luke Gruber
