Those crazy parades.

Well, you know how I told you about those crazy parades and everything? Well, at one point we were walking by the plaza, and all of a sudden a huge crowd came around the corner and filled the street! They were walking in our direction, so we tried to push our way through, which we found was not a good idea, because they decided to push their way through as well. Someone shoved me, and yelled "dance gringo!" Then, a few other people, in agreement, also screamed "dance, gringo!" "I dont know how to dance!" I proclaimed, but they persisted. So.... I danced. It´s not even really dancing. They just walk with their hands out, like their wearing an invisible hula-hoop, and take little tiny steps. So, I did that. Apparently well. Until I saw a member on the side of the road, which I used as an excuse to escape, acting very ecstatic to see her. It was, over all, a rather frightening experience. I know now that the little-step parades are something to avoid.


 So, right now, I´m writing from Huanuco. We´re here for a couple days, doing p-day and tomorrow multi-zone conference. It´s super pretty here. But, on the down side, I´m a little sick. I threw up getting off the bus, here. I think it´s just the crazy climate change. It´s really hot here. Is summer really almost over? I feel like I missed it. Tell me what time you guys pray as a family, and I´ll pray with you at that time. Maybe like once a week. Anyway, I love you guys dearly. Stay cool! You´re always in my thoughts and prayers!

Much love,

Elder Alexander
