Hey Everyone!
We had a baptism last Saturday! It was a woman who'd been investigating the Church for about 8 years and had decided to be baptized finally. It was awesome to have that opportunity, and I hope to have it many times. We also had a "send off" for one of the members here who's going on a mission to the "Peru Trujiho North Mission". That was cool to see the Branch put that together.
Today we went to Puyo and ate "chontacuros asados" (some kind of worm they eat in El Oriente). The taste wasn't bad, surprisingly. Texture was a bit weird, though. Cuy and chonticuros down. I wonder what else I'll eat here, hahaha. We also went to another zoo, and there were Racoons there! That was funny.
I also found out I'll be in Pelileo for another 6 weeks! That'll make 18 weeks, which is awesome! I'm really excited to be here, because we've got a couple families progressing and my Spanish is better everyday. I can talk with some measure of confidence now, and I'm learning to laugh at myself when I mess up more. Patience with myself is definatly one of those "things" I'm learning.
I hope y'all have an amazing Thanksgiving. I'm definitely eternally grateful for my family and those experiences we've had together. Even half the world away, they are helping me through those hard times I've had, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
¡Adios, queridos amigos!
