I´m honestly loving it hear, in Tingo Maria, despite this crazy heat. The people are incredibly receptive and loving towards us. A few days ago, we felt like knocking a house. When we approached, making our way through the mud and trees, before we even said anything, they invited us inside. We taught the restauracion and all the family accepted a baptismal invitation. And during the lesson, their little daughter kept bringing me flowers and leaves from outside. So much that I had about 20 by the end of the lesson.
The kids are so funny here. The other day, we were talking to one of our investigators out front of her house, while above us, there was a football-sized wasp nest just swarming with giant wasps. It was only worrying me slightly, me being so accustomed to insects by now. When suddenly, her little cousins come outside and throw a big rock at the hive, causing the wasps to go loco all over us. At one point I had at least three on my face at once, and got bit in 3 different areas. My companion got bit once on his hand, our investigator didn´t get bit because she stayed completely calm. I, on the other hand, screamed like a girl and immediately threw my book of mormon on the ground and then ran all the way down the street like a mad man. And her little cousins thought it was the funniest thing on earth. Anyway, I love Elder Gonzalez to death. He´s super funny. We´re always laughing and enjoying the work.
Much love,
Elder Alexander
