My First Week!

October 29, 2014


Alright, for starters.. my p-days will be on Thursdays from now on. I only get an hour or so to be on the computer. As of now, i cant send any pictures. Alright, i'll do this chronologicially... First of all, the plan ride was long and cramped. I had no space. After landing in Peru we had to go through customs and stuff but as soon as we stepped out those doors... it was a wave of a smell, a humid, and not a very good smell. Bus ride from the airport took an hour and we got there late, went to bed very late. First day was fine. We eat lots of rice and im sick of it already! Rice and chicken, id kill for a hamburger. They dont feed us much for breakfast, and im hungry throughout most of the day. But its okay, i'll live. Today we got to have our p-day, we went to the temple and to a store, I got some inca cola to try, i'll let you know how it is... First day was just a bunch of orientation stuff... nothing special happened. Classes started the second day. but first... my companion is Elder Falslev from Clinton Utah, he already knows a lot of spanish so he helps me a lot. Alright, classes go on all day long and we only get one hour of gym time for the whole day so im antsy for most of the day and my knee is always bouncing. Sundays are pretty cool, we have our own Branch for the MTC, for the talks, everyone prepares a talk and they randomly pick 4 to give their talk... its the most stressfull first half hour of church ive ever been too. Then we just have regular classes. Sundays are very relaxing cause all we have to do is learn more about the gospel. We had an area 70 come give us a devo. It was very cool... he said we need to convert members that will endure to the end. And that our end goal should be to get them to the temple, it was great. Spanish is coming along alright. its a language that is muy loco. There are rules that they have for no reason. Alright im out of time, ill tell you more next week... love you all. >The CCM is a prison.. were surrounded by 10 foot walls anyway bye!
