Hi Gang,
It was Masen’s birthday yesterday. Our family put 20 candles in a Hersey’s Pie and sang to him and then sent him a picture of the pie aflame. Of course my big worry was that nobody would know it was his birthday and there would be no celebrating. A Peruvian birthday tradition is cracking eggs on your head and then covering it with flour. He will refer to this. He thought he would have to eat fish all week because of Easter. April is his 6th month mark…can’t decide if it is going fast or slow.
Here is today’s e-mail…

Wow I am old!!!!!
ha ha ha love the pictures of the mega fire. and everyone. ha ha way sweet thanks
but your prayers were answered to the max. word got out that it was my birthday in sacrament meeting from someone in the ward. so every meeting we went to that night there was dinner for me. It was overwhelming. i went from lunch eating rice and chicken to eating tacos to eating rice and chicken in another meeting and then to family night with the bishop where he had refreshments. wow i felt so fat and sick. the miracles that happened this week. i did not eat fish!!! second i didn’t have a funny guy crack an egg on my head. if that happened i would have been mad, but all is good cause it didnt happen.
miracle that didn’t happen. . .. . .getting my package. but thats ok cause i wasnt expecting it.
oh ya another cool thing that happend was one lady gave me toblerone. i didnt think about it at first, but when i got home i remembered that in the airport they were selling this for 20 soles. That is like 7 American dollars. and for a sole 50 we can buy a coke. so thats way expensive. another cool thing is that one of our investigators gave us food.
wow. out of time. sorry for the crapy letter. im trying to write everyone a letter and send it with all my pictures of my mission. we will see what happens this week. hopefully i can send it.
love you all have to go.
sorry again.
