Hello Friends and Family,
This week has been full of buses and taxi rides. Today I'm in
Jaen and we will be traveling to Chiclayo in the afternoon for a multizone
conference. This week, I will be in Jaen and Chiclayo for the entire week so I
will not be able to see much of Chachapoyas. From what I have seen of Chacha is
absolutely amazing. Its about 8,000 feet above sea level and it is filled with
trees, hills and amazing people. It honestly reminds me of Park City. I have
seen lots of american and european tourists. The price of living is also a lot
more expensive here. The climate is perfect, not to hot and not to cold either.
Our pension is really nice and cooks well. My companions name is Elder Flores
from Chosika, Peru. We get along so well. I feel like he has been my favorite
companion so far. We go running in the mornings and it is so refreshing to see
the beautiful mountains and greenery. The branch here in Chacha is small but
strong.
I gave a sacrament talk and I feel like the Lord helped me
speak what the people needed to hear. I feel it was the best church talk I have
ever given. I feel so blessed to be in my area. Not to many missionaries here
get to see Chachapoyas. Elder Stout is our district leader and we get along too
well. haha. He is a cowboy that lives down near Kanab, Utah. He is also from my
CCM group. We didn't get much teaching time in this week because we have been
traveling so much. From Chiclayo to Jaen is 6 hours. From Jaen to Chachapoyas
is another 4 hours. We are 10 hours away from the mission home. Life is so good
right now and sometimes I have to fight back tears because I feel so so
blessed. I promise I will send lots of pictures next week.
Love,
Elder Goold
