Chimbote Interviews!

Dear family and friends,

The craziness continues! This week was another wild one.  The main event was interviews in Chimbote and Casma.  Chimbote is about 2.5 hours south of here in the bus (I'm getting awfully used to taking that bus after 19 months of commuting back and forth!), and Casma is another 45ish minutes.  We headed down on Tuesday night and stayed with some zone leaders down there, Elder Rhoton (Idaho) and Elder Pierce (Arizona).  They're pretty fun guys. Then we were super busy the next two days! There are four zones in all, so we did one in the morning and one in the afternoon both days.  Elder Rice took a district and trained, I took a district and trained, and President took a district and interviewed.  Tell ya what, giving the same training about the area book ten times wiped me out haha.  It was really good though, it was fun being with all the missionaries and feeling their excitement! Also got to see lots of old companions and such; I even saw one of the members from Bellamar when we went to their church which was another highlight!  We've got three more zones this Wednesday and Thursday!

The food situation is interesting as well.  Almost all missionaries have a pensionista for all three meals, where we only have on for lunch.  We do our own breakfast and dinner.  Add in the traveling, and there are lots of nights we're eating in nice restaurants and lots of nights we're eating crackers or soup.  It's a lot more like any other mission in the world, I think having a pensionista kinda spoiled me a little!

Well, that's all for today.  I should have used my hour of internet time better but I didn't, so that's all she wrote! Love you guys a lot, have stellar weeks, and keep living the gospel!

Love, 
Tanner
