Hey all! So this week has been kind of boring. I wasn't even in Quillabamba for half of it because I had to go to Cusco. That said it was still fairly fun.

 

Tuesday we were supposed to head to Cusco. Well we have an investigator named Ulysses who offered to take us in his truck because he had to go to Cusco too. The only downside was he had to leave at 5 AM. So by 5 AM we were headed to Cusco, we got there about 9:30 and basically just had PDay there. They gave us the whole day to walk around and see the sights. It was fun because I ended up meeting with Elder Ramirez who I haven't seen since the CCM.

 

Wednesday we had a training with President Harbertson then I got to meet my new companion. My comp's name is Elder Montero, he's from Lima, he was baptized two years ago, and he's crazy about the work. I've never seen a missionary get so excited to leave and proselyte. I feel like we're going to get along really well, I'm pretty excited to be working with him.

 

Thursday we came home and this hermana in the branch called us. She wants us to take her son with us to work everyday because he got kicked out of his school and she thinks leaving to preach with the missionaries will help him learn. It's an interesting situation, and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. On one hand I do feel like we can help the kid, but on the other hand I'm a missionary, not a babysitter. I guess we'll see how it goes.

 

Oh more news! They just took the other two elders out of our branch and put them in another branch here in Quillabamba. So now Elder Montero and I are the only ones in Santa Ana which means we have a lot of work. That's going to be good, I'm excited to get to meet all the people the other elders were teaching and be able to help them.

 

That's about it for this week! Talk to you guys later!
