Good afternoon all from good ol Ayacucho. I'm still just learning my Spanish and Quechua, a phrase I learned from Quechua is "Imaynalla cashcanki", that means "hi how are you". I'll definitely take Spanish any day haha, I've heard there are areas in Cuzco that are completely in Quechua.
To answer a few questions, I am teaching an English class once a week on Friday. It isn't necessarily a suggestion from the mission but yeah it attracts investigators so we do it. Usually the classes are easy to teach because it's always lesson 1 "to be" for all the new people. I will have to explain a bit of pronunciation, that will be a pain to try to explain, I have some English language study to do. But yeah, the piano class was just something I did 1 time for another area. It was hard haha, we just had it at the chapel, they had a few keyboards to use and it was all good.
A bit about my crazy week haha. This week was a bit more difficult than the rest, I'm thinking hard about what was different with Elder Gutierrez and I did our plans for church because the past three weeks we have had none. All 5 of our baptismal dates fell through leaving us with our 1 progressing baptismal date left to postpone a bit haha. His name is Luis, he was excited to come to church and everything but the member we made a plan with never showed up. You know what they say, if you want something done you gotta do it yourself, I'll be stopping by next week myself haha. The good news is we have 18 new investigators from these 2 weeks. We taught an Israeli this week! His name was Victor, it was awesome! I'm not sure if he is a new investigator or we are haha.
It's awesome to hear from all of you this week!! It made me way happy to hear about Ethan's whole deal with the marble Olympics!!! Tell Dad thanks and tell Ethan I would love to participate haha. Awesome to hear about everything with the roof! Praying everything goes well with it! Awesome to hear everything in music with Brady and Ethan, tell em to keep at it and keep practicing every day!!!
That's my time, thanks for reading and I love read all of your letters!
Con amor
