So I just got in to Cusco a few hours ago - the 30 min flight was a lot better than the 12 hour bus ride, ha ha. Hey that's sweet that Aunt Margaret and family are going to visit you guys! You'll have to let me know how that movie (Monumental) is, you know I like stuff like that. So conference is very soon like you're saying. I'm not sure where I'll be for right now. Tomorrow is the change meeting. I'm in the mission office right now. So things were pretty crazy this week! There was a huge riot in Puerto and we had to stay in our rooms for 2 days. We could only leave to eat. It was pretty crazy. The miners there are upset, so they decided to trash the streets and cause a big mess. It was like a movie, almost. So that's why we took a plane today, because the riot was supposed to start back up, and the roads get shut down. Tomorrow I find out where I'm heading to - pretty exciting. It's weird to be back in the dryness and not sweating again ha ha. Like you're saying, it's hard for me to really understand too, why the family here isn't such a big deal. You would be surprised. This week we were in a lesson with a couple and the "wife", Victoria, is progressing - awesome. She has a testimony and goes to church and everything, but her boyfriend doesn't want to progress - and he doesn't want to get married or anything because he thinks if gets married that he automatically becomes a member of the church. We explained that if they get married SHE can baptized, but he could still keep investigating the church or not and he said flat out "No, I'm not going to marry her". We said, "you guys have been together for almost 10 years, you have a kid, you're basically married now." It's sad and frustrating. I've gotten used to hearing that though. I'm out of time and next week I'll let you know where I am. Love you guys. Have a great week!
