Ok i finally can write a letter to everyone and i have time! my hands are freezing write now so i cant type very fast but ill try cause i nhave a lot to say. also the spell check is in spanish so everything is undurlined as spelled wrong so my spelling is gonna bad as well. anyways, cusco is super awesome the mountains are amazing! next week i am going to include photos in the email but today i left the camera in Izcuchaca. every mon our district in izcuchaca travels to cusco for our zone meetings and for our activities because we have pensionistas that cook and do all the laundry! speaking of food the food here is surprisingly good for me being picky! and they have a billion different types of drinks! i think i have a different one everyday i have been here. we always eat chicken almost every day and rice. and one thing that is wierd is lunch is the biggest meal of the day and always consists of a soup first then a plate with rice, potatoes, chicken and then desert which is always really good! i think its a miracle that we have a rule in this mission that we cant eat salad! ive never been a fan of salad. ok next our house is actually abave the church and we have 4 elders in our house (Elder nalli from chile, elder barrett from south jordan, elder coti from guatemala who is my companion) the church is very small and has a small electric keyboard piano for meetings and i think it only holds 45-50 people max this last sunday we had maybe 20 but the sunday before we had almost 40. its very difficult to get people to come to church even the members because the best day for work here is sunday. our, well, i dont know what to call it cause its not even a branch yet haha but all we have is a president and us 4 missionaries that run meetings on sundays and do everthing! so some awesome news i already had a baptism thios last sat! her name was hermana milagros and she is very cool person. she always reads and prays and tries to come to church but has to work a lot like everybody else on sun. and she wanted me to baptize! so next week i will attach some of those pictures as well. sorry this letter is kinda random but there is sao much that has happened. another problem we have here in peru is a habit of always finding people that live togehter have kids but arent married and it cost a lot of money for them to get married so its really hard to help them progress through baptism when they cant get married. i cant believe its halloween today it sure does not feel like it here in peru ! but i do miss that american chocolate haha i cant find anything that tastes quite the same haha one last thing for everybody its ok for everyone to email me but when i write back it will be hand written cause i know its hard to try and send mail to peru well out of time but love you all and im sorry i forgot the pictures but i will remember next week and i love you all!
Love,
Elder wilkinson
