Basically we've just been going around saying goodbye to everyone and whatnot for Elder Andrade. He will finish his mission on Tuesday and will be heading home.
Last Tuesday I was with Elder Jorgensen and on Thursday I was with Elder Mott on interchanges. Elder Mott and I had a really good lesson in his area and put a fecha (baptism date) with her.
During the week we taught Jennifer and Luis about the sacrament and it was an awesome lesson! They came to church on Sunday and loved it. In the second hour the teacher talked about the Law of Chastity in depth. At first I was worried because I felt like the teacher was low key, kind of burning everyone. At the end of the class Luis thanked the teacher for teaching that and said he loved the class and now understands the importance of respect for his spouse and marriage. Super cool. We felt hyped.
My son, Elder Aldea, (the missionary Cory trained) came to town with my grandson (the missionary that Elder Aldea is training right now), Elder Boren, on Wednesday night. We got some dank burgers that night and stayed up talking until.. late.
Eating giant burgers with my son, Elder Aldea, and grandson, Elder Boren. My, how time flies.
These burgers were huge!! At first, I thought they were expensive at 10 soles, but they really weren't when you consider that is about $3.00 in American money.
The next day I stayed with my old Zone Leaders from Laurels, Elder Salazar and Elder Chapman. They stayed with us Saturday and Sunday night because they're finishing up their missions on Tuesday and wow, was that fun! But we stayed up super late 2 days in a row with them, PLUS the night I stayed up with Elder Aldea on Thursday, PLUS we have eaten like crap these past few days! We have had hamburgers, tacos.. Saturday and Sunday, lasaña from Hermana Ana, and 2 pies.. Yeah, it's been good but I've gotta change my ways or I'm gonna get fat like I was in Moche.
Eating tacos with familia Goicocheya.
Elders sleepover.
So yeah, basically doing nothing significant these past 3-ish days because my companion has gone to the temple and had a bunch of meetings and whatnot so I've been chilling in the office or other areas. Not too much crazy stuff happening.
I'm just SUPER tired at this point and EXHAUSTED! Oh yeah.. haha oops, my new companion is going to be Elder Torres. He's from Chiclayo.. also finishing in 3 months haha, so I'll most likely be sending another one home. I knew him before in Viru. He trained Elder Greer. He seemed super cool so we´ll see how he is! But yeah.. life's fun. I'm still exhausted. Gonna sleep all day. Love you all! Have a good week.
Tu misionero fiel, Elder Rokovitz
Something I found in the street...... Poor ol' putty tat.
Buying my water..... I drink a lot of water.
I found this story in the Liahona..... Reminds me of my accident and looks just like my car. (Cory was involved in a roll over accident when he let a friend drive his car one night, shortly after getting his driver's license. Six kids in the car, no one wearing seat belts and miraculously, no one was hurt....except the car. The photo laying on the magazine is Cory's car.)
