Thankful for Letters

Zac finally received some letters through dearelder.com and was so happy to hear from Alice and Olivia.  It looks like it's taking about 6 weeks for  the dearelder letters to come but they do eventually get to him and he really appreciates hearing from friends. He wanted me to be sure and thank Alice and Olivia for taking the time to write and update him on what's happening. He really enjoyed their letters and hopes they will write again soon! One more waterfall picture came through this week.  I have no idea why it's sideways but here it is:

Missionaries Love Packages

Looks like some packages came this week. Zac finally got the Flamin' Hot Cheetos he requested! (We have no explanation for the hats.)

Hike To A Waterfall

On Zac's P-day last week his whole zone took a harrowing ride up a mountain in a vehicle packed with twice as many people as it was built for to hike up to a waterfall. He has more pictures but it takes so long for them to upload that this is all that came through this week.

Thanks Neil! And an attempt at audio . . .

First of all, Zac thanks Neil for his letter and his highly entertaining method of applying postage (ask Neil).  Zac really appreciates physical letters.  So, if you have a chance to send him an old-fashioned letter or note please do.  Here is the address again for letters and/or packages:

Elder Zachary Farnsworth
Peru Trujillo Mission
Avenida Larco 849, Piso 3
Urb. La Merced
Trujillo, La Libertad
PERU

Zac also appreciated the comment posted by the LDSSA which I copied and pasted in my email to him as soon as it was posted. Thanks, Kylee!  Here is a picture of Zac's room:

I don't know what that wire is hanging down but it doesn't look very safe.  I guess they don't have a closet which is why their suit coats are hanging on the bedposts. 

Zac sent audio again this week. I'm attempting to post a portion of what he sent which wasn't meant for the blog but I don't think he'd mind if I posted it. 

First Audio Attempt

Zac's sister, Amanda, created this for the blog.  I think it will work. It's an old picture but we thought it looked much better than staring at his room picture while the audio plays.

Peruvian Treats

This is a picture of me eating what's called a Pela Pop. It's an ice cream thing that is basically frozen banana jello on the outside and vanilla ice cream on the inside. You peel it and it looks like a banana.

General Conference One Week Late

So, we got another audio letter this week.  We love the audio letters but they take forever to transcribe.  I am still working on the transcription from last week's letter. As soon as I can I will post some excerpts.  Here are two pictures of Zac listening to General Conference this past weekend. Every April and October the Church has a conference for the members of the church all over the world. Zac wasn't able to hear it live the first weekend in October because they had Peruvian elections and churches were not allowed to be open that weekend. Even though the English speaking missionaries understand Spanish now with no problem, they gave them the option of watching Conference together in English.  So, here are pictures of them watching it in the Branch President's office:
