Feliz Dia de Madre y Matrimonio, casi...
It does sound like it has been a pretty crazy week and it will probably be 10 times as crazy this week. I can't believe the wedding is this week. It feels like I just found out about the wedding a couple weeks ago. Time really does just fly by out here in the mission. I can't believe I am already at 10 months. Woohoo, double digits. I hope everything goes well with the wedding and you need to take lots of pictures, especially of me. Why do you always say that I look like I have gained a little weight? I am not fat. I have only gained about 12 pounds, and I am actually skinnier in the waist.
That is really great that Kyle was able to get an internship in Salt Lake. It sounds like it should really help him out with his profession and it should be good to help him settle in to the married life. That is cool that you got to see where Kyle proposed. I still don't know how he asked her. I have not got a card or anything explaining it. I thought one might be in the package you sent me but I still have not gotten my package. It is either in the mission offices, or has been stolen there in the post office. I have kept waiting for it but it has just never gotten here.
I had a pretty interesting week. On Wednesday, all the mototaxi drivers went crazy. They started a protest that the people lower down the hill would not let them pass through. They all got really mad. Background information, they didn't think how they would protest and did an awful protest. They started to stop other motos from taking other people down the mountain. They started to punch out the plastic windows in other motos. They then started to kick people out of motos and were reaching into the bags of the mototaxi drivers and robbing them. It started to get pretty crazy. We were about to get into a moto to go up the hill but saw that and we decided to walk. It was a little scary walking. We were a little worried we might get robbed but nothing happened.
Then, on Friday morning, I was on a work visit with the ZL. One of the ZL's had went to my area with Elder Rivas and I was with the other one in his area. In the morning we were both a little confused. There were a lot of people passing by the house and there were a lot of police officers. When we went outside to teach, we stopped and asked someone what was going on. They told us the president of Peru was coming to open up a new staircase. About five minutes later his car passed by, and about five minutes after that we saw him come running down the hill to where he was going to give a presentation. I have now seen Peru's president more times than the President of the United States.
Sunday was really good. We had 7 investigators in church. Three of them are going to be baptized this Saturday. A lot of them are progressing but need to get married to be able to be baptized. Sonie, our investigator who got married but there is no documentation of her wedding, will probably be going to the place she got married to go to her husbands, grandpa's funeral. Hopefully while she is there she will be able to find documentation of here wedding. Sunday afternoon while we were out teaching, we ran into some recent converts hauling bricks up the stairs to add onto their house. We ended up helping them haul bricks for about an hour in our white shirts and tie. I am pretty sore this morning.
That is about all that happened this week. For skype, I remember how to get in, I do it through facebook. I will probably be calling at about 4 oclock here, which is 3 o'clock there. I am not a 100 percent sure where we are going to write because the computer we were going to use broke and we are not sure if it will be ready or not. I am going to buy a camera this week to use to skype. They are only about 20 soles. I will find a place to skype and will call you during the week to verify the time and place.
Love you lots and can't wait to see and talk to you,
Elder Isaacson
