Hey everyone, hope you all had a great Mother`s Day weekend!  If it makes you feel any better, I did.  Not a whole lot this week but it was  a good one as usual.

So first off I talked to the family which was pretty cool.  It feels like not too long ago I talked to them on Christmas!  It`s crazy how fast time goes.  Maybe it`s because I have a gringo companion.  But it was super cool to talk to them.

We had a conference with our mission president this past week which was pretty cool.  It`s always fun to hear him and his wife talk.  And afterward they came over to our pension to eat dinner.  I love talking to the mission president.  He is way cool.

So we got news this last Sunday that President Uchtdorf is coming to Cusco this Sunday!  But I will still be in Puerto and I don`t even think the missionaries in Cusco get to go.  Hopefully we can watch it through transmision though...

We also did some service this week.  We helped Gloria move some dirt from the road to her back yard?  I don`t know if it really counts as a back yard but that`s what we did.  Afterward she gave us breakfast which was nice but we didn`t really want it because we were going to go to breakfast right after.  So we had 2 breakfasts!

Then we went to do service for someone in our branch.  We just helped him move some engine thing back to the city from his shop.  We rode in the back of his moto/truck thing then I rode on a trailer back.  It was pretty cool.  Also the Hermana prepared us soup even though we told her we already had lunch set up for us, so that was kind of annoying, but nice of her.  So we had 2 lunches that day also!

Also about the soup, I don`t get why she had to give us soup on that day.  The whole week it`s been cloudy and a lot cooler than it usually is, then the hottest day of the week, we get a big bowl of hot soup...  It wasn`t something that I really wanted but we ate it anyway...

So with Gloria we have tried to put a baptismal date on her several times, and she pretty much told us that when she decides she will tell us.  She is awesome and knows everything is good and true, but she won`t commit to a date.  She is still helping us though, giving us references, we are teaching one of her friends now, she is trying to get us to teach her sister-in-law.  She is great, but won`t commit to a date.

Well that`s about it for this week.  Hope everything is good back home.  Love you guys!
