I will keep this one short. This week I was in Huancayo Monday and Tuesday to pick up my new kid. His name is Elder Aguinaga and is from Pocatello, Idaho. He is a really cool kid and we are pretty sure we have played against each other in baseball.
This week has been full of a bunch of frustrations. With opening a new area we were shorted a lot of things normally every room has. For example we have an iron but not an ironing board. I tried using our square table to iron this morning but it didn't work. Luckily here you wear 3 layers of sweaters so no one will ever know that my shirts aren't ironed haha. Also we don't have a bathroom yet... and I haven't showered in about a week but it's an adventure. And as it is so cold here, I feel like I'm on a winter camp out that never ends.
We didn't get to our area until Saturday and we had stake conference Sunday, so I don't know a whole lot about the area. But here are some fun facts that I do know.
Carhuamayo is famous for its Pachamanka (food cooked buried underground) and my pension owns a pachamanka restaurant.
There isn't a church building here, just a small rented 1 story building and the branch has about 20 people coming to church.
No even up this high do the houses have heating or heaters...
The town is super small only about 6-7 thousand people live here.
Yesterday I had stake conference in the highest city in the world so you can say I've been to stake conference at the highest stake center in the world!
Sorry I can't find my device that lets me send photos so you will have to wait until next week. Love y'all!
