Week 56: Stranded



Hey, Everybody! 

Sorry for the late letter, Internet was shut down yesterday. This week was awesome, not a whole ton went down, most just work work and more work. 

One of the highlights is that our bathroom got worked on, we now have a toilet, and a shower, and a sink!! But all week to shower or use the bathroom we had to go to the members house that lives across the street. and in our new bathroom after 9 am the water gets shut off so we can only use our bathroom from 5 am to 9 am... 

The members here don't name their kids after other family members, or after bible names. But they name them from the Book of Mormon. There are two kids here the first is Nefi, and the other is a girl named Alma. One member named his car captain Moroni. Its pretty sweet. 

But Nefi is very rebellious and says what ever comes to his mind, and while we were eating lunch this week he asked us ¨Don't you think that the Catholics are nasty?¨ 

Also this week we went to Sullana Sunday night for a meeting and a member said he could take us. But he forgot to fill up his car with gas, so halfway between Sullana and Huangala we were stranded. It the middle of nowhere at 7 pm. We had to wait half an hour for a friend to bring us gas. 

Also this Sunday here in Peru is election day, the entire country shuts down so people can vote, and if you don't vote you get fined 270 soles. So nobody works, or does anything. Which also means we cant have church, or in other words, we cant watch conference :(. so we will watch conference Saturday for the 2 sessions, and then wait till the following Sunday to watch conference. So you will have to email me next Monday all the big changes cause I wont know. 

Also the members here are on a mission to get me fat. They call me gordito Gruber, and say they want to make me fatter. That by the time I leave Huangala I'll be over 100 kilos. every second they get they try to give me more food. 

That's about it! I love you, miss you all everyday, here it the best day ever!! 

Love,

Elder Luke Gruber
