''Que in el mundo"


What a week it has been! P-day is Tuesday, so I got to go to the Temple today. It is an A-frame...almost like Dallas. It is super tiny and it smells like soup. Everything inside is a cream and gold color. I have never seen anything so beautiful. 

The food is good; they make it bland for us Americans…for good reason too. So even though the food is really weak, everybody has some issues.  When we got here there was a sickness going around. People were sick for 3-4 days just throwing up and being miserable. Luckily I did not get it nor did Hna. Nelson (my companion).

Hna. Nelson and I contacted and taught our investigator! His name is Marcos Escobar. He has 2 kids and is worried about the problems in the world. Marcos is actually our maestro (teacher) Hermano Bejar. He acted just like the real investigators will. The Peruvians don't like to make eye contact and they always mumble. It was hard because we don't have a ton of vocabulary to teach with. Both Hna. Nelson and I were able to bare our testimonies and pray in Spanish, which really set the tone for the whole meeting. I am so glad that I am here and that I can teach a little bit. 

PS. My favorite phrase is ''Que in el mundo". It doesn't mean anything in Spanish but in English is means “what in the world”. It’s the thing to say here in the CCM (MTC).
