Enchanted

Jan 19th
This week has been a change in the missionary work for me. This week we were able to work a lot with those members to do a lot more visits, We did some splits and also we visited with a lot of the members. It was much better to work with them, plus we didnt knock so much doors either.

As far as the food, I am still eating a ton of rice everyday for lunch and dinner. But I guess it is a good thing that I am not allergic to nuts anymore, because the pension that we have now is the only person that cooks with nuts! She makes a lot of creams o sauces and in almost every single one of them she puts some nuts in them. But the food is still good, and so far I have not had my throat get selled and I have not gone to the hospital yet. So things are all good now.

Also Here in Cajamarca, it is one of the only citys here in Perú that celebrates carnivales. And it is really big here, pretty much what carnivales means is just big water fight for a whole month straight that everyone plays, and gives people the oportunity to ¨party¨. Here it is so big that people even through paint at people or cars or houses. And the carnivales doesnt even start until the 14th of February, but some kids are starting early and are carrying water guns and water ballons.- Also it is usually just a battle of the sexes, boys vs girls. But for some reason, when anyone sees a really tall white kid that is from the United States...me...everyone just gets him wet (at least they try). So we are now focusing on the roofs and trying to dodge water balloons, rather than looking for someone to teach. But it is actually fun to tempt the kids to try to hit me, but they havent yet.

Right now it is raining pretty hard, and I forget my coat, so I am a little cold right now, but stilly loving the sound of thunder and lightning, and downpouring rain. Hope you all have a good week and stay happy.
