This week has been pretty good but also pretty bad. Pretty good because we had a lot of success in our area. Román, who has a baptismal date, shared his testimony this week at church and it was super awesome. He really does want to get baptized but his family doesn´t know if he should get baptized so soon. They said that want to have a big party for his baptism but don´t have the money to do it this January. We are going to explain to them that it shouldn´t necessarily be a party moment and that it is a sacred moment. Let´s hope they can give up the whole Party idea. But Hermana Katty, who also wants to get baptized but needs to get married, is hoping to get married this February which would be awesome! We are going to try and help her with what we can. Hermano Neville and Hermana Esteffany will probably get baptized this February, they are so ready but they just have fear putting a date. But we also found a family of 5 this week and they seem super awesome. We were digging a whole for them while contacting and then they invited us in for like two hours and gave us lunch. They said that they would like to have more peace in their lives and I was super excited to hear that, because that´s why we are here! But we have a visit with them this Saturday, I hope it goes well!
We also had a service project this Saturday which was pretty uhhh, exciting. We were cleaning and basically rebuilding a house all morning which was super hard. We had to clean out a bunch of trash and stuff inside the house because it was really gross. There were straight up tarantulas inside which as you can imagine, freaked me out a ton. But as we were loading all of the dirt and trash into trucks, I cut myself pretty bad with a piece of glass that was in one of the bags. The bags weighed a ton and I tried to use my leg to help me load it into the truck, but the piece of glass cut me pretty bad. I ended up going to the hospital (I am ok do not worry about me) and getting 12 stitches in my leg. They just numbed me and I watched stitch me up haha which was pretty gross. But they said it´s clean and everything but I have to do check ups every day at the hospital. Unfortunately, I am not able to leave and proselite this week at all which sucks. My companion it leaving and working with members in the area while I stay with members and rest. It´s only been about a day since it happened but it´s super boring and I just want to work. But seriously, don´t worry about me, I am fine and just need to rest. I have pics if you want to see haha but I wont send them unless you guys want to see them.
Some of the parade people marching past my apartment, i will send a vid of them dancing sometime this week.
There have been a lot of protests this week in Huánuco. The president of Peru is supposedly doing something with the potatoe market of peru and the people who grow them in peru are hardly able to make money anymore. They are protesting a lot but none of the protests that I have seen have been too dangerous.
More pics of my area and the tie progress for week two, i will probably finish it this week
Some more pics of my area and some food I bought which is really close to ceviche. It´s ceviche de Pota or squid but it was super good, don´t know how safe it was to eat haha.
