Another Peruvian 4th of July!

As a zone we also had our own little 4th our July celebration. Saturday morning we got together and decided to cook breakfast. It took little debate as to what we were going to prepare: AMERICAN STYLE PANCAKES. I say American Style because here a normal pancake turns out to be a crape but American Style entails the warm fluffiness, thickness, and girth. Since stoves are very difficult to find here in the Jungle, we all gathered in our church building where we have a little two burner stove. Elder Sanchez and Elder Sweet (who worked as a chef before the mission) were put in charge of grilling the hotcakes while the rest of us sang patriotic songs. While we were eating, we were lucky enough to see the new documentary about President Monson, “On the Lords Errand”. To finish the whole get together the four of us Gringos formed a quartet and sang the National Anthem. We obviously can’t sing in English anymore but we had fun trying and it was a great reminder of just how blessed we truly are.
