Peru 2/9/2012
So the keyboard is way weird here. so there wont be a lot of capitalization. or question marks. sorry.
first off.. please do not send me any packages to peru. the reason why they didnt give me a mailing address is because it takes about 2-3 months to get a package while im in bolivia and peru. and people almost never get packages sent to bolivia. they say it is better to just deposit the money into my account, and then i will go buy the stuff.
the peru mtc or ccm is really small. there is about 80 people here right now. my companion is latino. you are either latino or north american. latinos are here for 3 weeks and everyone else is here for 6. We flew all yesterday and got to peru about midnight, and then took a reallllly long time in customs because we have a german with us who is not the sharpest, or the humblest (hey he is german) tool in the shed. so we got here at the ccm about 3:30 and then our companions wake up at 5 to stretch. so im exhausted. but it so beautiful here. seriously. google pictures of the ccm. and the food is DIVINE. like so good. for lunch i had cilantro rice and chicken and onions that were marinated is some sauce. it was like chipotle but bursting with more flavor. sooo good. We have to read the bom in 19 days. crazy. and we eat everything on our plate because it is super rude to throw away food to someone of the latinos who come from really poor backgrounds.
we have a soccer field with fake grass, and a BEAUTIFUL courtyard with a fountain and amazing flowers. it is soo nice! oh. well you are on google, check the weather for here. it is like maybe 80, but with humidity it feels like death. hahah jk. but it is really humid. i met a bishop yesterday, he was like 22. and he is from santa cruz bolivia. our mission goes into brazil, and borders argetina and paraguay i believe. but the hermanas stay in the city so we wont be going to brazil. the elders who go to brazil have to get a name tag in portugese. its cool.
camilla mora´s dad is in my bishopric, so i will meet him tonight. jules, can you contact her on facebook and tell her that i am here. gracias. remember.. there wont be any question marks on this. hahah
everything is going grand. oh and my feet are swelling because of the heat. pretty bad. and everyone has sweat on their face- or glistening- at all times. its fun.
well... thats abot it. after this we get to take a nap until 5:30. which will be amazing. there are about 25 girls here. maybe 30. we take up about 7 rooms. so not that many. our p-days are on wednesdays. but i have no clue what time i will be on the computer. and i dont have any us postages so i can,t put my letters in the pouch mail. so i guess this will be our main way of talking! i do get dearelders and other hand written letters.. it will just take a lot longer to get here. like 2-3 weeks. its like i live in the middle of nowhere... its weird. oh and the people here are so beautiful and so kind! like my spanish is horrible but we play charades and try to figure everything out.
i love you guys! dont miss me!
