hey, so i am struggling SO hard core. i was moved to the Tarapoto Zone, its south. and its still jungle. so for the plane i had to downsize my stuff by 100 lbs....so i have less tan half of my things and i know that the lord will take care of my needs........but its hard to consider the lillies while i toil and spin over here. i{m always wet with sweat or rain. which is fine...but i{m getting a Little sick. i need to buy a blanket. but my money for the missionary card doesn't get into my account until tomorrow! but we{re not allowed to shop accept on, p days, today. .....so another week. i also forgot my contact solution. i{ve been using purified water. it hurts. but it Works. my glasses sweat off my face, so thats not always an option. my companera is sweet. but she doesn't speak any English. so i never know whats going on, or where we go or why we go there. i have no clue how to be a missionary! and i{m not really learning very quickly. we{re trying to fast, but they do it differently, and i{ve been drinking wáter because were supposed to in the jungle mission. its MUCH needed, but it doesn't feel right. nothing feels right. and like everything is too different. i feel unprepared because of my lack of essentials, my lack of English companionship and most of all my lack of knowledge! knowledge of the language, knowledge of what the heck is going on. i am just her dog, i follow her around and i never know where were going, or who were trying to find. maybe contacts, or less actives or going to teach a lesson???? who knows. not this missionary.
ok, well. that being said, i receive tender mercies from the members here
the other day the príncipe family celebrated the birthday of their two children and me! i told them i had it in December. and they just celebrate birthdays by the month. which is swweet for me. we had cake, and inca kola. wow. i love that stuff. anyway, good stuff....um, well they give us food alot. which is cool, except i{m getting fat. um.....uh oh. the other day we drank some juice, because they always give you refreshments! and we were hot. so we tried it .EW! so nasty. but we kept on sipping to be polite. yuck, when we left my companion told me it was fermented banana stuff. YA KIDDING ME! why she didnt try slapping it out of my hand idk. we told our DL, but he said we{re fine. just be careful and ask next time. woof.
if only i could read spanish and know the rules here, i{d love to follow all of them. oh yea, i{m NEVER punctual. because no one does anything on time here.
i love you, i{ll figure out a way to make it better. i know that the lord will help me, its just really difficult until that happens, because i don teven know how to put in my effort. anyway. i love you all, bendiciones. i pray for you always, and i know the Lord will keep you guys all safe because i am here serving him...or trying to! adios
