HEY EVERYONE still alive and well here in Abancay with my gringo Comp who's birthday is today😉 It's been an interesting last 4 weeks with a lot of people on date but none of the baptisms going through and more roller coaster traveling than I've probably done in total here in Peru so it's been exciting😅 I'll slip in some cliff hangers or things that happened and if you want to know more just send me a quick message and I'll try to explain more in depth!!!
Soooooooo like I said we put a lot of people on date and welp... 0 of them happened but we have plans for a couple more this month. Transfers are coming up and as I mentioned we have been traveling so much in the last 2 weeks and there is more to come! This weekend we travel to Cusco so Elder Solum can go to Macchu Picchu so in order to prepare accordingly we kind of need to know transfers before we leave so we'll see how thay works out😬 I'm thinking we are both outta here but we'll see. Got the chance too to have a Multi Zone in a place called Andahuaylas which is a 3 hour high speed rollercoaster ride (adding on to the already grand amount of traveling I've done) and after all that I'm pretty much invincible to whatever type of motion sickness there is haha!
I partially wrote an email 2 weeks ago so I'll toss it in to finish this one off so y'all can be completely filled in...
"Well well well have these last 2 weeks been crazy haha! Sorry for not writing, our P-day 2 weeks ago got moved to Thursday because we had transfers and well it wasn't much of P-day with Leadership Council and Everything and then that following Sunday President told us that we were going to this place called Humantay and that we had to find some way to get there so we spent a ton of time trying to find rides for all 6 of us to go and so we ended up waking up Monday morning at 4am to leave and didn't get home till 9pm😬 a lot of uncertainty but hey we got back that's the important part. Between that Thursday and the following Tuesday we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off going to Cusco (5 hour bus ride) and then having to come back the same day and then with the rides and the trip just....... insane.
Did you know running like chickens with your heads cut off brings blessings?😅 Anyways we have 8 people on date in total having put 5 people on date this week with 4 of them being in their 1st lesson. It's really interesting how people will do "anything to follow God" but as soon as you tell them they've gotta change it's like... "nah I'm good" It's fun... not really. But we basically just said "hey if God answers your prayer that this is the path you need to follow... will you be baptized into his church?" Sometimes they say "Baptized again?" And we say "Yupp exactly!" But with that pattern none has said no🤷♂️ So that's cool!!"
And so now you can do a bit of reflection and see that all of those people didn't progress very well because as I mentioned before... none of them happened when they were supposed to😳 Anywho that's all I got I'll stay more on top of this in the future but the next time you'll be hearing from me will be after transfers so stay safe and take care!!!!
