Hola amigos y familia!
This last week was rather... interesting. I'll start from last P-day.
P-day:
Last P-day me and Elder Vargas had a little Peruvian stand-off on a roof of a building... unfortunately there was no one else on the roof so I have no pictures to show, but oh well.
During my time in Perú for P-day I've watched Cool-Runnings, Howl's moving castle, and the Lego Batman Movie. I checked the list for allowed movies, and there are some pretty epic movies on the list! (I.e How to train your Dragon, Cars, and Narnia, just to name a few)
Like, Thursday I'm pretty sure:
I had a lesson in English! This man wanted to practice his English, so I got to teach him the plan of Salvation in English! However, during the lesson, 2 things happened. First, he started chewing cocaine in front of me and my Comp. Second, turns out he's gay. So when I started talking about the 3 kingdoms, he asked kinda forcefully where gay people went. Did they go to hell, in our beliefs?
I explained to him our non-traditional view of Hell, and said that in the end, (because God loves us so much) we all obtain heaven (albeit different levels)
He seemed shocked because I think he thought I'd say they went to hell. He sat back and said that was "very kind of us" and the discussion continued.
I have mixed feelings about this lesson, because I'm sure I could have handled it better (there was unfortunately a good deal of rambling involved) but all things concidered it went pretty well.
Then yesterday my area got blitzed by my entire zone! Not only that, but we had a member with each companionship, so we got so many members to lessons! It was LEGENDARY!!!
Ah yes, my final point.
Gringo sauce.
For those that don't know, I call Chick-fil-a sauce gringo sauce.
I'm sure yall see where I'm headed with this.
For reference, my mom (what did I do in the premortal existence to deserve such an awesome mother???) On my birthday sent me some Chick-fil-a sauce that I've been saving. Well, we were having chicken and rice (again) so I thought I'd whip out the gringo sauce. My American ZL was ecstatic, and every latino in the room was very confused (including my penchanista, hermano José)
After me and said ZL take a few delicious bites with said Gringo sauce, everyone else wants to try some of it.
I gave some to Hermano José, and he said "I don't see the big deal" but everyone else loved it. My comp even gave my sauce a look as if he was going to steal it.
After a couple of minutes of me pouring sauce Hermano José asks me to stop pouring it and to save some for him 
Gringo sauce is something I'm gonna miss when it runs out.
Long email sorry.
Quick spiritual thought.
I've been thinking about virtues a lot lately. I feel like since my time here, God's put obstacles in my path to teach me patience. So, I've been focusing on that for the past week.
I encourage you all to search for a characteristic of Christ to focus on for the week, and make a goal/plan to improve on that characteristic. I promise, through God's help, you can make progress on that virtue!
I knlw that God lives, and through him all things are possible.
En el nombre de Jesucristo, amén.
1. Comp be real
2. Peruvian food be like
3. Sushi and peruvian burgers!
