Week 6

hola! 

how is everyone doin?   so has anything really exciting happened in the last week?  it has been so crazy here.  so i have officially come to the half way point in my peru mtc experience.  we just got a new batch of missionaries this morning.  there are more north americans and the other 150 latinos will trickle in all day.  it was weird being alone for the past 24 hours.  all of the latinos leave after three weeks and the americans remain... but!! we get to go on a tour of lima today. i am so hackin excited.  we get to see the beach and the palace in lima.  we might even see the changing of the guard. and the most exciting is that we get to go to pizza hut for lunch... yesssssss.  best day ever. i get to eat real food again.  i just cant wait to eat pizza.  so ya anyways.... we get to go to the temple in the afternoon, and then play soccer tonight under the lights on the turf field.  i am just pumped for today.  so ya i am going to be fast.

a ver.... so my latina companion left and it was really sad.  i just met my new companion and she is from ecuador also.  but she totally speaks english.  yesssss.  she is really nice, her name is hermana moscozo.  she is going to cochabamba too!! i hope that everything works out.  none of my other roommates are here yet.  but ya.  so ya i will tell you about my tour next week.  o ya and i took some amazing pictures, but i dont know how to get them on the computer. so ya... sorry.  i am technologically challenged.

we totally had a soccer showdown against the other north american district, because we had gym together.... we killed them.  hahaa it was so much fun.  we are playing them again tonight.  it is goin to be awesome.  i used my earplugs for the first time this week, and it was heaven on earth.  my companion didnt wake me up at 550 and i got to sleep in til 630.  i can honestly say i would never think i would be grateful to sleep in til 630.  pero whatever... its amazing.

  o ya!! and happy st patricks day.  the elders taught the latinos what it was, and so everyone was pinching each other all day long.  it was sooo funny. it was really sad when they left yesterday. it is amazing how close we can get when we have only known each other for three weeks.

  

 so everyone down here brushes their teeth after every meal... and now i am addicted to it too.  we all go into the bathroom and have a teeth cleaning party three times a day.  we think it is torture when we dont have time to brush our teeth now.... weird.  i am becoming a latina... all i have to do is learn a language and then i will fit right in...

so it was saturday again. and this time we went out proselyting in lima.  we just had to go knock on doors for four hours.  it was a good experience.  we were in a wealthier part of town. so we didnt get a ton of success,there were a lot of big gates around the houses.  but we talked to a lot of really nice people.  and i said more than five words this time.  thats good...  it was really sunny, but my companion and i just kept walking up and down the streets.  o ya and i got a coca cola, it was hackin delicious. 

o ya!!!! the most exciting thing happened!! my companions and i were planning a lesson on keeping the sabbath day holy and all of the sudden the ground started shaking.   it was an earthquake!!!!!wowowoowow  it lasted for like 30 seconds.  we were just so amazed and our desks were shaking and it took us awhile to figure out what it was.  it was just a mild earthquake, but it was totally cool.

so funny stuff that missionaries do for fun is match other missionaries with characters.  for example.  there is a kid who looks just like woody from toy story. i seriously just want to slap a cowboy hat on his head and scream. theres a snake in my boot.  and then run away.  he is woodys twin. and there is an elder who looks like captain america and of course we have the three amigos.  and i am rapunzel.  there is also an elder who looks just like clark kent.  so ya i know that it is totally random. but these are the things that keep us entertained.    haha o man. its true. you do get weird when you become a missionary.  or in my case... even weirder.

well i have got to go.  i hope that everything is going well back at home.  i love you guys so much, and im sorry that my emails usually dont make any sense.  have an amazing week.  love you!
