10/24/17 - Let's Do This!

I'm out of Lima!! I'm in a little town called Huaura and it's so great!! It's so green up here! I'm about 2 hours north of Lima and really close to the ocean. We played soccer on a field that was legit on the beach - it was amazing! And it cost less than 3 dollars for all of us together to play for an hour. Peru es lo maximo. I love the openness here.  I almost started crying the other night because we were walking and I looked up and saw more than 5 stars like in Lima - instead there were thousands!!!! I haven't seen stars in over a year... it's good to be in nature, it's good to be where the sky is blue and there are animals. The other day we were searching for a reference and ran into a farm. We talked to the man whose farm it was and he let us pet his baby cow. He was milking a cow by hand, walked over and grabbed a plastic cup, dipped it into the milk, and gave it to us to drink! Five second old warm bubbly milk -the maximo!!!!

It was crazy and kinda sad though because when sacrament meeting started there were only 13 people in the whole ward... oops. It should be a branch but there are a lot of priesthood holders, they are just all inactive. It's all good - let's do this! I love you all and I'm happy to be here. The church is true and read the Book of Mormon!!!
