Cow Stomach

This week flew by! Probably the fastest week so far. Happy 16th Morgan!!! Hope it's awesome! Stay away from boys. This week was very uneventful and just filled with walking a thousand miles in the rain and mud contacting with very little success but I loved it!! Yunguyo is turning super green and it's getting very pretty. Everyone is on vacation in Puno until March so when we knock doors like 1/15 are actually home so it's pretty dang hard right now we're doing the best we can. My companion goes home in 3 weeks so I'm excited to see what happens this next change. I'm really hoping to stay in Yunguyo for at least one more change, there's so much work to do here and I feel like I gotta do it all haha.

 I did have a cool experience with Elder Stevens from my group in the MTC. We were doing splits in Ilave and there is a little pueblo (town) across a bridge that has never been contacted yet so Elder Stevens and I decided we should go across and get some contacts and see what happens, we were walking along the bridge and it was so dang gorgeous cause the sun was setting and the sky was purple so Elder Stevens and I weren't talking but as we got to the end we both got the impression at the same time to stop and pray to ask what we should do because it's an unfamiliar area. After we prayed we started to walk one way but we got like 5 steps and an old lady started to talk to us. Yah she started talking to us first. That doesn't happen to two white dudes in Peru haha. She said that it's getting late and that we shouldn't be over here right now. Usually we would be like yah whatever you're crazy but we literally prayed 10 seconds before so we listened to everything she said and obeyed perfectly hahaha. So we turned around and started walking back across the bridge and I looked back and the police were coming back from the direction we were gonna go so it just gave me so much comfort that our prayer was answered somehow. We didn't ask for protection or anything crazy we just asked that we'd know what to do. I don't know what could've happened if we kept going but I knew that Heavenly Father used that kind old lady to guide us and keep us safe.

I ate cow stomach this week that was weird, we pension in an amazing restruant for lunch now and they gave me food so I just starting eating without asking my companion what it was, I thought it was like squid or something and I was actually enjoying it. After I finished I asked and the answer was gross but I already finished so that was cool haha. Always ask after you finish the food. We also played basketball with the branch which was a terrible idea I'm still not used to the atltitude, I was dying after 5 minutes and all these old dudes were destroying me it just wasn't the greatest haha. I hope you all have an awesome week!!! "En todo vivir, divertanse y rian. La vida es para disfrutar y no tan solo tolerarla."----Gordan B. Hinkley
