Hey everybody,
This week was the bomb. After feeling sick Monday through
Thursday, Friday I felt a lot better, and now I am back to good!
Halloween this
week was a bust. I couldn't eat candy because my stomach was hurting but I had
bought so much. So I decided to load up my proselyting bag and during the
afternoon every kid that I saw I handed them candy. I called it reverse tricker
treating. The kids didn't come to my door, I went to their door and gave them
candy. Because down here nobody celebrates Halloween. But here the big
tradition is the day of the dead. Which is the 1st and 2nd of November. Everybody goes to the cemetery to visit their lost family members. So as a group
of missionaries we went and tried contacting people and teaching them the plan
of salvation. It was good, there were thousands of people in the cemetery so it
worked out well. Peruvian cemeteries are a lot different than American
cemeteries. Here they build big buildings, like 30 feet high, and have little
window slots where they put the bodies. Its super weird but also super cool.
The cemetery just feels like a concrete jungle.
Also yesterday we had 3 different power outages. The entire
town just went black, each one lasted about 15 minutes. It was super cool!!!!
We also had a barbecue with some member here this week, not like an American
barbecue. 3/10
We also found a bunny in our back yard this week, it was all
black with a small little white spot. We caught it and took some photos.
That's about it for the week! I love you all a ton!!!
Everyday here is the best day ever!!!!
Love,
Elder Luke Gruber
