A little bit of what Elder Thacker sent to me and his mom this past week.
I'm freaking out about Kaitlyn's graduation. She can not grow up, in my mind she's still a sophomore! That's so weird for me. Everything will have changed when I get back. It's a good change though.
I'm still trying my hardest not to be an adult. To be honest, that was part of the reason I wanted to go on a mission. That way I could put off being an adult for two more years. Little did I know that the mission is not just fun and games and I actually have responsibilities. Oh well.
Our trip was really fun! I love Puno, I was so excited to go back there. Plus I saw a lot of friends that I haven't seen in a while. We went for just a day, took the night bus sunday night, we were in Puno for Monday, then monday night came back. When we got back to Cusco we were dead. It's so tiring. But I got a lot done, as did Elder Hogan so it was a success. Also, we may or may not have gone to the Bolivia border. We ended up with a couple hours free and couldn't pass it up. We took some photos with a sign that says "Welcome to Bolivia!"
Other than that, our week has been fairly normal. We were teaching this couple named Nikolas and Olga. Nikolas is from Cusco, but Olga is Colombian. On thursday Olga had to go back to Colombia to be with her kids. We were sad to see her go, she's super cool. She was baptized about 2 months ago in Colombia and was helping Nikolas a lot to learn about the Gospel and accept it. Now she's gone, but we're still going to visit Nikolas. If everything goes well, he could be baptized within a couple of weeks. But that depends more than anything on whether or not he can read the Book of Mormon. I don't know why but it's so hard for people here to read it. However as soon as they start, they get an immediate testimony. It's amazing. I really hope Nikolas can read it.
