Yup it's officially summer here.
Time to bring out the Christmas lights and fans. I remember my last
summer here, besides being super trunky and lost, it was miserably hot.
Climbing hills, teaching, walking, dying. Bring it on. One of the
greatest inventions of America? Air conditioning. I haven't seen that
since I got here. Lol I remember the only air conditioning in my first
area was the bishops office in the church, so we'd always break in just
to cool off in his office and drink his Inca kola. Any door in the
church here can be opened with a broom if you're a tall gringo. ;)
With
a trunky companion, I have a lot more personal study time (for those of
you who know what I mean). I've learned A LOT already and have also taken
Dad's advice to read Jesus the Christ. I got tired of studying Lehi's
dream. ;) Lol nah I'm still obedient don't worry mommy. My companion
super chill and does whatever I tell him. Just that he won't do a
single thing by himself. He's a cool guy, but doesn't show emotion. And
even though he tries to act in front of everybody that he's tough, I know
inside he has a heart of gold. :) Sometimes I catch him humming songs
or playing with children. One time I could of sworn he was humming Katy
Perry...
With investigators, I'll finally be marrying and baptizing a complete family this week!! The marriage will be Friday,
and, well the baptism will be next week because they had faena. There's
something here called faena and its Satan's numero 1 instrumento to keep
investigators from going to church. Because many people live in hills
here, they have some sort of legal contract to build a staircase every
other Sunday
at 9 in the morning. Pretty sure it should be illegal. And it's just
in time of church. But anyways! I'm super happy and excited for my
little family. :D Their names are Yovana, Luis, y ¨Paloma. And other
than that we have 2 snakes- I mean teenagers who will also be baptized
this month. :)
There was one moment thuper
scury this week as we were climbing the hill to my snake- I mean
investigator's house. Just as we arrived near the tippy top- BWAHHH!!!
The whole hill began to shake and everyone was going loco. I honestly
thought it was an earthquake and said my last prayer. But it turned out
just to be a super temblor. But I watched it as it went through the
whole city and shook the lights. The whole city was barking and
beeping. I really hope you guys get to see one of these when you come.
Well
Happy Hanukah or whatever holiday it is your celebrating back home.
I'll be sending Xmas letters to as many as I can, so if anybody would
like a letter from good ol Elder Quaker, send me your name and Ill send
one to home base for you. :D I love you all, miss you all, and ya you
know the rest.
Con Amor,
Elder Walker
