Elder Roberts here with another week here in Peru! I am going to try and write a really good letter this week so that I will get some more poeple to write me! hahaha This last week we had changes, but I didnt get a change. My companion is the same, but now he finished training. I got called as a District Leader here. It is great to be here and be able to serve. I am really loving all of the expieriences that I have to learn and grown here.
Here in the streets they have living chickens in crates, and they let you pick which one you want. They then pull it out and get it all ready for you. Because of all of the chickens in the street, it always smells great here. There is also garbage in every street just thrown all over. But I have come to forget that these things aren´t normal. I have also come to forget how I am the only white guy in the streets. I really feel Peruvian. It is so wierd to remember that I am a 6`4 giant. But it all is part of the amazing expierience!
Yesterday we were out walking when we passed by the house of a member. We decided to go and talk to him when he told us that he wanted us to visit his brother. We went in and visited with his brother Henry. He has had a lot fo problems with his family latly. We talked with him and it was truly incredible to see how the lord had put us in his path at this time. Every single day has miracles like this.
I tagged a couple of photos to the email. One is of me eating a ton of pizza hut. The other is a photo with one of the members from my first area that we saw at the mall on P'day last week. I dont remember what the other ones are, but I am sure you will enjoy them. It really is great down here! I really have come to love this country.
Remember what great importance the family has. We had a 70 come and visit us here and did a workshop. He talked about how we have been put in families that allow us to recieve the ordanances of the temple. Ireally have started to realize how blessed we truly are to be members in families that we can recieve these blessings. God really is watching over us and has a plan for each one of us!
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Elder Roberts
