So I said last week that I didn't catch a monkey, but I actually ended up getting to hold two that night. Their names were Carlitos and Martin, and they were super cute. I actually caught Martin, if you count him jumping to me and me not dropping him as catching :) We were at a hotel for dinner with the foundation, and they had a couple monkeys in a cage and let me and Jenny go in and help feed them and hold them. I want a pet monkey now. We saw a guy here in Moyo yesterday who had a teeny little pet monkey just hanging out on his shoulder on a little leash... Ashley, can I have a monkey?
Other than that this week has mostly been work here in Peru. I've gotten pretty busy. I got to do a few fun little things like help judge an art contest at the school. We also had a fire in our backyard one night with the other volunteers, which was fun. This week was mostly just quiet and busy though. We did have another couple of roommates (Jenny and I have had five girls in and out of our room since we've been in Peru) who were both native Peruvians, which was fun. One is actually LDS and graduated from BYU, so it was a lot of fun to have her there. We had a hymn singing night to Caleb's guitar one night, which was cool. Anyway, I love Peru and being here and working with the people here. It's a great place, and I'll be sad to go, but happy to come home.
