We Found a New Home!

We officially found a new apartment and maid. We actually found it the night of the 29th so we cut it kinda close. Its funny cuz all the paper work and agreement we did with the landlord was a simple handshake and our word. Why can’t we do that back in the States? oh well. But anyway our room is very very nice, it has laminate floors instead of cement and the bathroom and shower are in the same building, lol. It’s on the third floor of our landlord's building and it has a balcony and we also have a really cool view so I can’t complain about that. Our new maid/pension is actually a guy and his cooking is off the wall! He was actually a chef in the Peruvian military for the past 30 years but now he owns a little store with him and his wife. He isn’t a member and we ran into him just as a contact and now we eat with him everyday, so little by little ...We are teaching him the discussions and he came to Elders Quorum yesterday too so that was cool.

Moving our stuff was interesting because no body has their own vehicles here so the only way to move things is by bus or taxi. But we were lucky and found a guy who had a very tiny pickup which was smaller than my Mazda, and a tiny rusted out flat bed, but he said he would charge 15 soles (around 5 bucks) per trip so we hired him. But being poor missionaries we were determined to only pay for one trip so we managed to get all of our stuff on one load. You should have seen it, this truck was loaded to the hilt and then some. It was sky high. So Elder Chavez and I rode of the back to make sure everything stayed on, and we took off down the PanAmerican Highway, it was definitely a sight to see!! lol. It reminded me of when we would move our sheep, llamas, and cow down the road all at the same time!!, lol. But we are moved and getting settled so all is well.
