First Week!

So I´m here! The first couple of days were so stressful I was

overwhelmed and it was just a bunch of crazy emotions. But fast

forward one week and oh my goodness I love this place so much. The

plane ride was extremely long and terrible cause I think all of us

were nervous and everyone just said goodbye to their families it was a

mess. People looked at us so strange in the Atlanta airport i loved

it. One lady asked us if we were models so that was pretty great. 

So, the first day I met my district and my companion they are both

awesome. Our district is like a family and my companion is awesome we

get along so well. That night I was interviewed and got called to be

district leader. It was pretty overwhelming cause it was my first day

and I felt like I was younger than everyone and very inexperienced but

the 3 weekers have helped me out a lot. (Every 3 weeks new

missionaries come in so thats what the older ones are called.)  

I'm doing very well with the language, like enough to where I surprised

myself. The spirit is so strong here and the gift of tongues is so

real. We taught our first "investigator" and it was so cool actually

being able to understand and know what she was saying. Hopefully we´ll

get her "baptized" this week. 

We play a ton of futbol (soccer for you

white people). I tried to play volleyball with the sisters but they

destroyed us so Im not doing that again. The best part of this whole

experience already is the Peruvian missionaries and locals. I cant

even explain how happy and funny they are. I get to practice my

spanish with them because some of their rooms are right next to ours.

Its so awesome to actually know what theyre saying and it gets me so

excited to study more and work harder at the language. In one of the

pictures im standing with Elder Jañez from Chile. Such an awesome guy

he talks to everyone and is always so happy.

 The food here is alright.

Theyre obsessed with rice. Like we have other food but its always with

rice. Sublime ice cream is the bomb though like I really hope its in

America and I just havent heard about it cause I want that stuff when

I get back. The city of Lima is insane I honestly dont think they have

traffic laws here. Sitting in a bus going through that traffic to

interpol was probably the most dangerous thing ive ever done. Theres

cats everywhere, but not like the ones you have in your house, like

when I see one I go the opposite direction theyre terrifying. If youre

wondering what Inca Kola tastes like, imagine a bubble gum soda.

Peruvians are also obsessed with that stuff and Ive grown to like it.

I stashed a bunch of it and other peruvian cookies in my closet after

we went to interpol. 

The CCM is so tiny everyone knows each other.

When we have devotionals we just watch devotionals that happened in

the Provo MTC haha. This has already humbled me soo much. Today we

went to help clean a catholic school for physcially disabled and it

was crazy how humbling it was. I just want to take all these Peruvians

home to America when Im done here. I guess its good Ive already have

so much love for the people. They seriously have nothing but are so

much happier than we are. It shows you whats really important and what

you really need to be happy.  Oh and another picture is of me with

Star Wars chocolate milk wearing my star wars shirt because its

awesome. Alright well I hope all of you had an awesome week and please

let me know how everythings going! If I dont respond just know that I

did see it, I just dont have time to respond. You can ask questions

too cause I really dont know what to write about haha. Ill do my best

to respond to all of you. Have an awesome week!
