Hey all,
This week was pretty good, but also pretty bad, but also
crazy, but also calm and relaxing. On Tuesday we had a dessert night, where
people made a bunch of different desserts/cakes/flan/ice cream, etc.. I made no-bake cookies. Then the night turned into karaoke. It was super cool,
very sweet and sugary but fun. We met lots of new faces and friends of members
who we are going to visit this week!
Thursday we slept in Sullana and I had a pretty bad fever, I sweated the entire night through, then woke up at 6 and didn't have time to
shower because we went to Piura for a zone conferences. Friday we had a conference
with Elder Held. A general authority, he is the second councilor in the South
America Northwest area (our mission is a part of the area). He gave a really good
talk and we all got to shake his hand. It was also nice to see half the mission
all at the same time. I got to see a lot of old friends I hadn't seen in
forever.
Also Tuesday night we were called at 9:15 pm to go give a
blessing to a sick mom. She gave birth 20 days ago, and was super sick. Then
Saturday morning at 1:30 a member came knocking at our door saying the lady
passed away. She was family with almost all the members here in Huangala. So
the last few days have been pretty rough for the members here. But we were also
invited to give a little talk at her funeral service. It was really odd and
uncomfortable but a new experience for me.
Also this week I found the most awesome dog! Its a small
like baby dog, its super friendly and loves to bite. We'll be teaching his
owners a lesson and its just comes and starts biting my shoes and pants. Then I go to pet it or push it way and it starts play biting my hand, he's super
awesome!
Also this Sunday we are all super hot in our Sunday school
class, all dying of heat. We were super hot! but there was a solution, the room
had a fan. So my comp went to turn it on and a member rejected him, she had her
baby of 5 months and the fan would kill the baby because it pushes out
artificial air. So we all suffered for an hour.
That's about it for the week, everything is going really
good!! Today was transfers but I am staying in the same area with the same
comp.
Everyday here is the best day ever!!!
Love,
Elder Luke Gruber
