Hey all! So this week has been another fairly normal week in Quillabamba. We've met a couple of new people, we did a couple of service projects, we got super cool jerseys where they spelled my name wrong, nothing really out of the ordinary.
I told my dad on mother's day that sometimes I don't know what to write in these updates and I was just going to start writing about the drunks we end up talking with. Today will be one of those emails. So there's this little park by our house that has these statues. The other day we're walking past the park when we see this guy, wasted out of his mind, approach one of the statues of a woman. He walks up to her, takes off his hat and bows, then slowly walked up to the statue woman and kissed her. A second later he turns around, sees Elder Santillan and I watching him, and yells "Elder! Don't laugh at me!" It was impossible to hold back the laughter after that.
Anyway, today's the beginning of a new change and my companion, Elder Santillan is being transferred. He's going to be a zone leader in Juli which is between Puno and Bolivia. I'm not going to know who my new companion is until Wednesday, and I have to go to Cusco to pick him up so this week should be pretty interesting.
Hope you're all doing well! Talk to you guys next week!
That's an awesome story about the drunk guy! And I love the pics! Work hard out there!
