Monday,
after I wrote you guys, Elder Bell and I just chilled in the room and slept for
a little bit. Later we went and played basketball. After playing, when I picked
up my phone, I noticed that I had a missed call from President Henderson. So I
called him back and this is what he said to me, "Hey Elder Durante, I
would like you to train another missionary." Of course I said yes. Tuesday I arrived in Huancayo and there were
sooo many white people in this group that just came in. We had pizza from Pizza
Hut, which was really good, and it was fun seeing everybody.
Wednesday
we had a training in the morning for the trainers and we found out who we are
going to be training. I am training Elder Gonzalez. He is 21 years old and from
Denver, Colorado. His dad is from Mexico and his mom is from Seattle,
Washington. We got back to our area on Thursday and then had a full day of
work. We are working hard and had really good success. I was wiped out at the
end of the day. I was super tired but we are killing it.
Friday
we had another full day of work. That night we played some volleyball and had a
good time. I received some pretty sad news. Hermana Avila received a phone call
from President Henderson saying that her grandma died. Her grandma basically
raised her and so she was devastated. I hope she gets to feeling better soon.
Saturday we had a service project for the Espinoza family again. We made this
oven/grill for them made out of brick and mud. It turned out really well. They
are so happy, they really have been wanting one and it was great to be able to
help them. Afterwards we had another full day of work. Sunday was stake
conference in La Merced. All the missionaries from Satipo and everywhere came.
We had a good time but we did not have any investigators there, which kind of
sucked.
