happy valentine´s day

Dear family,
First off happy belated birthday to Sheila and early birthday to Aunt Janie! Thanks for the letters they lift my spirit every week. Yes, mom, some of them I read at the computer and others I print off and read later, or over ´cause they are just that good :). And yes, they do celebrate valentines day here. I´m pretty sure that is similar to the states. Although everything here is less commercialized. There are not constant remainders of it every where like there would be in the states. It´s kind of nice.
I´m so glad to hear that you all had a great week. Sounds exciting. Mom, Thanks for informing me about Mallory.
Oh I almost forgot to tell you. I had lunch yesterday with a family from Peru. Well they gave us purvian food...Mondongo, something like that. This was in a soup with corn. Well I had no idea what it was and my companion didn´t say anything to me. Well after I had eaten it and noticed that my companion had only eaten one or two pieces of hers I did what I knew I should not have done...looked in the dictionary. Yep...intestine. Yuck! Ps. it didn´t taste good so you don´t need to try it, take my word for it.
As for this week, work work work, like usual. It is really interesting to see how the lord prepares people in advance for trials that they have. One of our investigatores is going through a really hard time right now and to top it off his dad died yesterday. It is amazing though that he has God again in his life and that he knows were he can find solace.

I love you all.
love Aleta
