Greetings from the most beautiful place in the world! And I state that solely as an opinión. Not everyone is quite so natural of a jungler as I. The other day I killed a bee the size of a bird. (I was under attack. I would never willingly hurt another creature). I love it here so much. Green everywhere. As far as you can see. And so many different flowers and birds and pretty things.
This is a little off topic, but did you know that they sell bananas by the branch here? Crazy Peruvians.
We get to far-off appointments via “moto-taxi”. A moto-taxi looks like a ferris Wheel capsule was welded onto the back of a motorbicycle. It costs one sol (per person) to go somewhere. Its literally that vague. Weather its one block away, or twelve, you pay the same. We walk for the most part, though. And I like that better anyways. We greet everyone, and everyone greets us. Its chévere. The people are super friendly.
I baptized my first investigator on Sunday which was a truly incredible feeling. I also was really touched that she asked me to be the one of baptize her, because my companion had been giving her lessons for a time before I arrived. Ill try to attach a picture. Her younger son loves me a ton. Its really sweet. But on Sunday he was playing with a marble and I jokingly pretended to put it in my mouth and swallow it. Then I pretended to cough it up. I then offered it back to him, but he wouldnt take it. He said its dirty now, and I didnt know how to explain that I was just pretending in Spanish, so now I have his marble and I feel a Little bad.
But anyways… Its really interesting Reading the scriptures in Spanish, because its written in normal Spanish. Whereas its in Old English for us. Its almost easier to understand in Spanish. But somethings translate a Little differently. Like in Mark 4:39 Jesus says Peace, be still, or something like that. But in Spanish, he says something more like “shut up. Settle down.” Im not sure which translation I like better.
