Week 2 in San Roque


Things are flying by. We are doing our best to get to know all the members, less actives, WHILE finding new people to teach, but it is coming along OK. It has kind of been the routine for 20 months. Elder Walker is from Farmington, Utah and we have a lot in common. The things that are fun about here is the amount of service projects we get to do because everyone has fields to harvest, houses to build, or any sort of other tasks. We harvested some peas and beans on Wednesday, wired on the rebar supports for building a second floor of a house on Friday, and then on Saturday we were putting buckets of materials into the cement mixer and then it would be hoisted up to the second floor for construction. That one was the hardest. 3 buckets of rock, one of cement powder, 3 of sand within 2 minutes. We were just working like dogs. I am beat today.

We had a baptismal goal set for 3 kids of the Picuasi family, but it seems like there is a lack of desire for the whole family to come back to activity in the church. If you guys could pray a little bit for them it would be great.

I am a litte down on the health, I have a fever but things are looking up.

We had a really fun secret pday activity with the 4 missionaries who did not go and play soccer last week. we went to Cuicocha, a crater lake with 2 islands in the middle. I would send the beautiful pictures, but there are like 20 people on this same internet connection and it takes like 30 mins to upload each picture. I sent a letter like 40 mins ago to Adam, but it still hasn't sent.

Love

Elder Blackwelder
