I miss Hansen, Sandy

 Peru is wild. It's seriously so crazy. 

I went and got my stomach checked this week. Everyone please do not take for granted your health care. The nearest doctor is 3 hours away. They said I am probably ight, but going back tomorrow to get checked again. I was skeptical from the moment I walked in and people were negociating costs for heart surgeries. Also the fact that the same guy that was examining peoples feet and ears then examined my stomach. You guys don't understand how good we have it. 

We taught a lesson outside in the street this week and a goat came and liked my face while I was talking. Pretty Peru

There is a weirdly large Chinese population in Motupe. Extremely random. They speak very little spanish. I need mr clay and connor dawg oneal to help me. 

Members dont want us walking through the mountains during the night because of "big cats". So they drive us now. I didn't ask questions. I have my dog zapper though. I figure that should work on a panther. 

We met a cool new guy and taught him. There were about 15 guinea pigs running around the house. The next day there were no guinea pigs. Again, didn't ask questions.

Grand total for bananas eaten was well over 50 for the week.

I found purple sporade. This is a huge victory for the Ecy crew (shoutout roque and diego)

Shoutout Hansen, Sandy. I miss it 

I kinda realized I am a little too happy go lucky in my emails... Im going to be more real from now on. It's not all sunsets and baptisms here. It's more dust, rejection, and weird body issues. We get rejected a lot. It's hot as fech. My hair is falling out. We walk all day. But I am happy. I was told my whole life that the mission is hard. This couldn't be more true. However I think when we use the word hard, we also need to include that the mission is also humbling, very fun, rewarding, an adventure every day, weird, hillarious, perspective changing, unique and incredible. I am convinced if we aren't having fun as missionaries we are doing something wrong. I have been here for a month, and the stories I have to tell my kids one day are already incredible. I love these people. They are so easy to love. A requirement for my wife is going to be come back here with me. Love you guys. Don't take for granted what you have. 

P.S It's my moms birthday tomorrow. Everyone give her a hug for me. I am convinced she is the greatest women on earth. I am extremely imperfect, and still have a lot to learn, but I could not possibly put into words everything she has done to help me be the person I am. I love her so much.
