Dear Family,
Today we got 3 letters from Jon in the mail; dated 5/12/08, 5/19/08, and 5/26/08.
They said mostly the same things that he had told us on email. He also sent 2 pictures of his area, Huanuco. I will post them on the blog http://elderrogersperu.blogspot.com .
Jon tells again of his experience in the small town of Ambo with Elder Davis.
He said that the taxi rides back and form from Ambo to Huanuco were so scary. The mountain roads are so narrow, twisty and steep. The taxi driver would think nothing of passing a semi truck up a hill. He and Elder Davis had to try and get both towns investigators to church and so they were a little late to Elder Davis’s ward in Ambo. When they arrived at Elder Davis ward they were almost ½ hr late and the ward was singing the intermission song. After the song the Bishop stood up and introduced the 2nd half on the program and it was that the 2 elders would be speaking for 15 min each. Jon did not have anything prepared and so he just gave the 5th discussion. He had just passed that off so he was able to do that.
Huanuco is a beautiful area and Jon so enjoys it. It is moving into winter there and so it is getting chilly at night.
This is a picture of Jon on the bridge going into Huanuco and a picture of some of the beautiful farming areas.
Thanks so much for all your support to Jon. He does not have time to write to all but we will try and keep the blog current. Thanks so much Jeff and Mitzie
