11/20/17 - All in All Good Week

This week was really good. Peru is going to the World Cup!!!!!!!!! First time in 36 years!! Let's wind the clocks back about a year - the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 107 years. I lived in Chicago most of my life and as soon and in the early months of my mission they won. Now, I'm not taking the credit but the prophets have always said that missions will bring blessings for your family and friends. Now look,  Peru hasn't been to the World Cup in almost 40 years. I get here and BAM. I'm starting to scare myself......

But in all seriousness, this week was good. We are working hard and seeing a lot of the fruits. We are having a ward temple trip the 8th of December. No, my companion and I aren't going, but we are working hard to get as many people as we can to go. We are working hard on bringing back a few less actives families and Juan de Dios and his parents are gonna go!! We are really excited- they are great. They showed us their little back room that has over 50 cuy!! That's guinea pigs but they eat them here so it's ok - it's pretty good, tastes a lot like rabbit. All in all good week. 

Love,
