Also, my bike had no brakes...

I´ve been up to the usual, you know. Ate some funky foods. Taught an investigator, on accident, that Sunday is the day to poop ourselves, spiritually. Last Monday, we went mtn. biking. It was super cool, but the thing was that I got the last bike, and the rental place had run out of the nice ones. Everyone else got cool mountain-bikes, and I, of course, got a shiny-silver, low-down, tall handlebars, gangster cruiser. On our ride through the town, I was not short of strange looks and giggles from the natives. Also, my bike had no brakes, and I´m sure all the hikers thought I was out of my mind, speeding down the hills, screaming, on the completely wrong type of bike. My companion leaves today, and I get my new one Wednesday He´s going back home to Arrequipa! I want to see Arrequipa after my mission. That´s where the good chocolate is.

The "last supper" with our pentionista! Classic Diego (the crazy kid). They took us out, and we ate cow. Cow throat, cow foot, cow steak. Just... cow. It was delicious!

We did a lot of contacting in the jungle this week, which was fun. Except one man gave us dirty water in old dirty mugs with sticks and bugs. And, of course, I drank all of it, with a prayer for health in my heart. I´m actually a little used to the bugs at this point. There´s usually bugs in the food, but we just look away and eat it anyway. It´s those bear-necesities, you know.

Our awesome mission leader, Hermano Hendry. He got bit by a bug and is undergoing some nasty treatment, and barely has energy, but he still is always super animated and looking to help. Just a great guy. He owns the Recreo Tirol.

Some of our best friends. Hermana Betty and her daughter, Hermana Paola. They were less active, and now they´re super active. They always give us food and soda. Yes, we´re standing on their roof.

"Pffffff. Freaking Reddit´s down again."

At this school, they learn very uselful skills. Such as:

-Play futbol like an egyptian.

-Do yoga while tossing a ball over a little lamp-post.

-Streaking in the moonlight.

-How to avoid sharks, and water, while swimming.

I don´t have much to tell you because I´m putting it all in my letter. Which I´ll send soon. We´re working super hard, but in a way that doesn´t really feel like hard work because we love it! No packages, yet... I was joking about the dubstep. I don´t want to be a doctor. I haven´t met any not good missionaries yet. We have mostly good ones in our mission. And in this zone, especially. My health has been much better! We have two couples getting married and baptised soon! Whooo! The investigators are great. Yeah!

Much love,

Elder Alexander
