Beautiful

Hey Mom and Dad,

Right now I'm in Huanta, which is about 40 minutes from rest of us.
The ride had a bunch of turns and twists, and we all got a little sick
from the ride, but it passed. All of us are here for our P-Day.

So how are you liking the Peruvian food? Everyone says it's one of the
top cuisines in the world, though I'm not sure how accurate that
statement is. Either way the food is freakin amazing. How many
Peruvian restaurants did you find? I'd recommend you both try out some
Arroz con Pollo, and make sure the rice is green. Also try out some
Aji de Gallina, and if they have pan chapla, eat it. It's the most
delicious bread you can ever eat, and it's from Ayacucho. Some people
call it Jesus bread because it's similar to the unleaven bread.

The waiter from the restaurant, is he a member of the church too? Inca
Cola is delicious. At first I didn't like it, now I love it. Our
bishop's name is Jose De la Cruz Quispe, barrio Mariscal Caceres. I'll
see if I can dig up more infor on him. That's cool that Leissy posted
a message on my missionsite. I didn't baptize her, but I taught her
little brother, and she tells me that now the missionaries are
visiting her older brother and father. Before her house and family
were like, WE DONT LIKE MISSIONARIES. I guess things have changed.

That's too bad Van Dusen's health declined. You should pay him visits,
and then pray for his safety. Something the bishop here taught me was
that if we pray for something, we have better done our part. Faith
without works is dead. If we pray for someone's health, but haven't
visited them or talked to them or served them, it will be almost in
vain, because we didn't demonstrate our faith.

Well, that's all I got for now. When I get back, show me all of the
Peruvian restaurants, and I'll tell you which one is the best. I don't
recommend you try out Cuy, because supposedly only good Cuy is from
Ayacucho, and man it's delicious. The meat is a bit stringy, but good.
My time is running out so I'll talk to you both later. Take care and I
love you both. Say hi to everyone for me!
