This was a good week. Lots of crazy kind of weird complicated situational stuff happened but we had a great week down here in Valle de Azapa. As I said last week, Elder Quispe got his appendix out and him and Elder Patterson were told to stay home this whole week. They didn't come to district class, and we went there to do interchanges so that Elder Patterson and I could buy medicine and go to work a little bit. The same night of our interchange the power cut in Elder Quispe's house, and we all had to sleep in our house so that we could keep Elder Quispe heated and well. That was fun, and it was good to be able to help them out. Poor guys didn't get to work all week. Thursday was my birthday, and it was kind of funny because I knew that when I said that I would go on the mission, I surrendered all of my time and effort to the Lord, including my birthday. So Thursday we worked just as normal, and bought sushi at the end of the day to celebrate. It was a really good day. Besides that it was basically a normal week, we met a lot of really cool new people, which was definitely a plus. We were able to find new people to teach, and meet people that we've been trying to track down for the last couple weeks. It's been a really good week. I also got some presents from some people in my ward, including a pair of dope brown knit gloves from a sister in the ward. We finished off the week with a family night with my favorite Haitian family, and they made us rice and really good chicken and fried chicken a lo haitiano. I'm afraid that I've run out of time, but know that I love you all and love to be a missionary. I love the Lord and am so grateful for every opportunity that I have here on this earth to make the difference in somebody else's life. If I can help any of you with anything, let me know.
Have a great week.
Elder McCurdy
