¡¡Hola mi amor desde el país que comen más arroz que cualquier otro país en el mundo!! ¡¡¡¡¡Sí!!!! (You can google translate that if you want!)
Thanks for the information about what life is like for you back in Rocker Bay! I'm so jealous you got to go to the Cottage and just hang out. Are you getting a sick tan like mine? Kara wrote me this week and gave me some great... information... aha... Today Jarom is supposedly proposing to Ashley... And today Dad and Pierrette are going to the temple to be sealed together. Honestly it's really hard to describe my feelings right now, you know me, APPARENTLY I don't like to show my feelings that much. But I think it's just really... strange... right now. It's going to be SO different when I get home, so much is happening there, it's really weird to be so detached from it all, and slightly difficult aha. But that's okay, I knew it wouldn't be the same coming home when I left, and that my family have their own lives, and can live them as they wish, therefore there's nothing that I can do but respect their decisions and hope for the best. So that's what I'll do!
Speaking of lot's happening. There's quite a bit going on down here in Rice Land! I mean, garbage land! nonono, spanish land?... shoot, I forgot where I am, oh well, it's not important! This week was a great week! Breno, like you know, had his baptism! It was a great baptism, and Elder Iglesias and I went with his Aunt to decorate for his baptismal service, even though it looked a bit more like a wedding then a baptism, it was beautiful and a very spiritual and peaceful experience. It's been a great chance to work with Breno over these past 6 months and help him develop Faith and know that God DOES exist, that he loves us, and will help us in every moment if we seek his support and help. He's a great kid and this following Sunday we'll try to see if he can receive the Priesthood and start helping to prepare the Sacrament. What's even more awesome is that Elder Iglesias had the chance to baptise him! I'm not frustrated at all, it was his first one and he did a great job and really made him happy. Photos to follow!
We also had a Blitz in Jardines this week, which is basically when all the missionaries in the Zone come to one area for about 2 hours, and just contact people! It's to strengthen the other areas and help them with find new people, which was much needed after the 2 recent baptisms we've had. Now we're jam-packed with people to visit this week and I'm looking forward to see what comes from it!
I want to thank you, for being such a great support to me here in the mission. It's not an easy thing to be a missionary, but friends, and family definitely make a huge difference. Thanks for diligently writing me every week, keeping me informed about what's happening back home, and more then everything, for making me smile :) You're a bigger blessing in my life then you know!
Anyway, that's pretty much my report for this week! Oh but before I forget! You asked me about my Culinary Adventures, and today a member is going to teach us how to prepare and cook Anticuchos! Which, if you remember, are Cow Heart! Mmmmm!! I'm super excited... photos to follow next week! But other than that, nope, nothing strange... Just a ton of white rice!
I hope and pray everything is going great for you. I hope you're happy, you're enjoying life, and that there's nothing too terrible happening in your life. Always remember that we have trials, difficulties, and temptations in the life to make us better and to bring us closer to our Heavenly Father and Christ if we approach them and deal with them correctly. You're the bestest! Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you here in Peru! Anything you want? A nice knitted poncho? A hat? A bracelet? Ahaha
Love ya!

The glass says "Moo..." anyone who knows of Elder Hatt's obsessions for cows and milk (both of which he will probably deny) will appreciate this!
