Cuy - Guinea Pig



Hey Mom & Dad
Sorry for not writing you guys on what's been going on here in Ayacucho. I figured since you've been craving for more photos, I'll just send photos with short updates on what has been going on.

Well, a bit on what has been going on. Here in Ayacucho, the rain continues to fall hard, and every day my shoes or my pants get wet. Yesterday as Elder Llontop and I were walking towards a cita, some crazy people threw a water balloon at me, and my pants were instantly soaked. Here in February, it's Carnaval, which means people throw water at each other.

The only thing I can think of that would be super awesome for you to send would be blueberry poptarts. Elder Arellano received pop tarts in the mail, and instantly my craving for hot pop tarts consumed me. Unfortunately, sending stuff here to the airport won't be that easy. Mejor mándalos a la oficina de la misión. That's my only request. Love you both very much and I miss home, but not too much. Take care and say hello to everyone.

P.S. About the man with the guinea pigs, I call his shack the Cuy Machine. He raises them to be eaten.
