Oxypampa and Chanchamayo.

 I only have 15 mins. today. But here is what I will write. I don{t even know where to start. On the previous Monday we went to Oxypampa and I taught a bunch of kids how to make a whistle with grass, which they thought was super cool. In return, they taught me how to play all their patty-cake style games, which was much, much cooler. 


Later, we went proselytizing and I taught a lesson to a gringo family in English, which was super difficult, actually. My Spanish kept slipping out. We actually stayed an extra day there, because of the crazy landslides on the road to La Merced. We were driving and there was road and then there was just a giant heap of dirt. Apparently there were two houses inside of it, too. The more recent Monday we had a multi-zone p day, with more than 50 missionaries. We did a tour of Chanchamayo, with a guide, buses, and all. Man, I saw some of the most beautiful things in the world. 



Then, we dressed like natives, and, respectfully, were taught by natives how to do their traditional dances, and I may or may not now be technically married to an 11-year-old. We're going to have to see about that. Then we went to a butterfly zoo, and wow, I have way too much to say and not enough time. I love you all so much! 
Much love,
Elder Alexander
