Ready to enter the MTC
Kayleigh, Cassidy and Kindee
Cerro de Pasco
After finding out where Cass was transfered to, we decided to look it up and this is what we found.
There is a mine that is 2 miles deep in the middle of the city! He is also in the highest stake in the world!! Elevation: 14,107ft.
Six months into the mission
February 11, 2011
Dear family,
So I don't know if you realized, but today I complete six months in the mission. I'm still a greenie, but pretty soon I won't be.
How time has flown by. It seems like yesterday I was calling you from the airport when I left to come to Peru. Well lets see, I've made it through the Provo MTC experience without gaining to much weight from the all-you-can-eat cereal bar. I've made it through the Peru CCM and luckily all my visa and passport papers made it through so I can legally be here. I've completed my 3 month training and now I'm just a regular junior companion. I've already had some very cool, very spiritual and some scary experiences. It's weird thinking that I have been a part of bringing people to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I can't wait to see what the next six months brings.
So we had a BBQ at Angela's house last P-day. It was pretty fun. We had a good time trying to get the charcoal lit. She didn't have any lighter fluid, but my comp tried using olive oil and liquid hand sanitizer. Finally got it lit and they cooked some really good strips of beef.
I went on splits with my zone leader Elder Barnes. I went and spent 24 hours with him in his area. We had a ton of fun, we taught lessons and contacted like normal, but then we could talk in between, and we could talk in english. He's from Star Valley, Wyoming and he knows the Saunders. He graduated with Carolee. Darylyn might as if Jessica remembers Elder Barnes. It's such a small world though, isn't it? So we worked together and we even played basketball in the morning with some neighborhood kids from the church. It had been such a long time since I had played anything but soccer, and I was so rusty.
The weather is kind of ac ting weird right now. It's hot and humid, really humid, and it rains almost every day now. it's kind of refreshing when the rain comes, but when it stops it's more humidity. But the heat is nothing like home. They actually have a very mild climate.
So the other day Junior went out with us and worked. It was really cool to have one of my converts out Proselyting and in the lessons with us. I can just see him with a plaque, preaching the gospel. And now that we are teaching his mom, I can see the whole family going to the temple.
Tell me how you are all doing? Hows Ali and Sam and the little girls? Whens the nephews due date? And Darylyn found a job yet or is she still looking? Tell her to have fun and not stress too much. Whats Jed's situation? And don't forget to tell me how you're doing. Give my love to the rest of the family. I love you.
Love Elder Capps
