Hey everyone. I am doing well here in Tacna. Also, ratchet keyboard of the day doesnt feel like doing uppercase so sorry for all the errores. If you google map tacna you will see that it kind of looks like a star wars planet. I miss the mountains in Arequipa but oh well!! the sandunes always remind me of napolean Dynamite.
Also, Happy Halloween!! the daughter of our pensionista always tries to scare us so we borrowed a really creepy mask and we are plotting to get her after dinner tonight. I will let you know how it goes.
this week has been really long. We dont have a ton of people to teach so we have been walking a lot a lot alot and have been knocking on doors and contacting in the street and using the area book. My companion is very hardworking and obedient which I am thankful for. We dont have a ton of support from the ward but we are hopeful that we can work with them and improve things. My spiritual experience of the week comes from my book of Mormon reading. I really liked Mosiah 20:11 "and it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them; yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites. but they fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children; therefore they exerted themselves and like dragons did they fight"
Sometimes I look like a dragon at the end of the day and I feel I have exerted myself but every morning I wake up and say prayers and thank Heavenly Father for the opportunity I have to start fresh and work hard again. things are a little slow right now but I know if we work hard and are obedient and do everything we can, we will "win". Love you all.
