"Life is for learning, and I sure do a lot of that here."

My companion had to travel to Lima so I stayed all week in Cerro de Pasco with the zone leaders. It was cool because we did zone leader stuff all week and we ate mirkapa four times in four days and then we all got sick. No regrets!

Me and Elder Dixon. Zone leader and good friend.

 There´s this old lady who busks on the sidewalk downtown with what seems to be a can and a metal spoon. And she does the same rhythm all day every day. Click-a-click, click-a-click. And people give her money. So,  took a picture, to remember for forever, you know. But then this man next to me suddenly became very angry at me and I didn´t understand why because he was yelling in Quechua. But then I think he realized because he suddenly changed to Spanish, which I do understand, and told me that it is very wrong to take a picture of an elderly person. But life is for learning, and I sure do a lot of that here. We do have two very important investigators right now. One of them wants to get baptized super bad, but her mom is from a different church and says she will no longer pay for her schooling if she gets baptized. Also, there´s a girl we are teaching. She´s 16, and her family are all members aside from her. She´s pretty closed-minded about anything to do with the church, She listens to us, but just because her dad makes her. That´s about it. I've been downgrading the quality of the pictures so they send faster, but Ill try not to do that anymore. I'm really loving the camera. I've been taking everything in manual mode, which makes me very happy.

Selfie.

I love you all so dearly! 

Much love,

Elder Alexander
