Email from John's companion (his mom sent it)

hey fam. whats up im just in perù working like a mad man!!!! yeah im with cheesman in one room with two other misioneros in the same room. but we have a seprate area with cooler investigators. ha ha it is a blast having a gringo comp, cuz they acually have a sense of humor. ha ha the missionarys here think we are all new until they hear us talk.... yes we understand you too!!!!! so the mission here in perù is different .....way different. but oh well. hey you guys need to pray for bolivia and the people in bolivia. i miss bolivia so much i just want to go back everyday. man yes i got a suit coat and pants and it is good looking, it is blue and it fits me fine. man the mission here in perù gets less money and the things here are more expensive so i might be taking out some money later if i need it. sorry. i left all my carry ons in santa cruz. my back pack and guitar, and my other luggage. man so i dont have my real scriptures. or my bible. all i do is carry a bom and pamphets. that is it!!! oh well im gonna email the prez Maynes about sending my bags here. you guys should pray for me and my patience. i think that is why im here.... to learn patience.....man i want to learn it NOW!! ha ha oh well what can i do? this is not my work and when ever im down i just think of the hymn "ill go where you want me to go" that is all i can do. no clothes no books and no guitar.....just a message. wish me luck. tengo muchisimo amor para vosotros, hay que recordar eso. soy misionero y a donde me mande.....irè Señor. chau chau, Elder Austin Taylor. oh man i forgot the funny story time. so cheesman and i were buying shoe laces for like thirty cents for two. and he accidently did the math wrong and gave her a little less than i cost but thought he should get change. so he was like "give me my change woman!" and she was like "No" you owe me money. and his wallet was out and he bent over and spilled all his change on her and her little store (cuz it was on the side walk and she was sitting down) then he pick up his changed and still demanded his money but he finally gave in and gave her the money. then after he said to me ha ha did you see that? i just poured money on a poor person!
