HEY!
I went to Cusco (IN A PLANE. I
AM A PRINCESS.) to pick up my new compy. World... meet Hermana Sanchez from
Honduras! She is really awesome. She is a little confused at all the weird
things I do… Like, every morning I wake up, open the window, and scream GOOD
MORNING PUERTO or CUSCO or wherever I am. It’s become a habit, I’m not sure
why... But yes, I love my companion.
We went to Cusco and then
couldn’t come back. Something like the
entire highway fell into the river. I mean, its Peru, right? This meant I
was in Cusco without clothes (especially for the cold), deodorant (mistake), or
garments (bigger mistake.) THIS WAS FOR A WEEK, mind you. But thanks to my
woman, Hermana Sheets (our dads are Air Force buds, what?), I was well taken
care of.
I also got electrocuted while
contacting in Cusco. The doorbell zapped me so hard that I couldn’t even
control my t-rex arms. (My arms naturally hang in a t-rex position, I have to
consciously think about having them by my sides to not walk around like a
dino.) But after being shocked (and maybe saying a curse word in english?) I
had to walk around like a dino for the entire day. I have great luck.

Also, we finally got back to
Puerto. Eleven missionaries crammed into a minivan and made the trip. EVERYONE
was throwing up and I was just laughing and laughing and taking pictures. It
was great.
I also missed seeing the
wedding of my investigators because I was stuck in Cusco. That broke my heart.
I cried and cried. I worked so hard for these people to get married and I
couldn’t even be there! I love them so much and I am so grateful that I got to
help them. Their baptism is this week. I am so grateful that I was given the
gift to love so much. I really do love people. I love them.
And I love you all!
Hermana Alex
