MOTHER!! and family :) First off yes I do miss you more than
anything! But I love it here!! The CCM is so great and crazy all at the
same time haha :) also this keyboard is super weird so sorry if i type
super weird things and dont use good grammar or capitals haha :)
Yes that sounds exactly like Dad! haha that made me laugh super
hard in a room full of people so that was great haha. Also say hi to
Dallin and Sam for me when they come! I miss everyone SOO much!
So my week.... it was honestly the LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE. The
days are sooo long! The first day was the worst. So we got to the CCM
at about 3am and they let us sleep in until 6:30.. How nice is that? hahaha 6:30 really is sleeping in here too. We usually get up around 5:30 or 6 because breakfast is at 6:45
and we have to be completely ready! Theyre super strict here too... But
its so good at the same time. I am ALWAYS tired. Literally always
haha but thats okay :)
We got here and my companion is Hermana Christianson!! My friend
from EFY! How great is that??? We work so well together. We both want
to work super hard and want to learn the language so its good. :) Shes
way funny and crazy. The other girls in my room are Hermana Hill,
Russell, Love, and Cooper. I love all of them! We get along so great!
And i was also made the room leader for the room so I guess thats pretty
cool :) Me and my companion run everyday! Youd be proud of me mother :)
except for when I play soccer with the elders which is SO FUN! I scored
a goal yesterday so i felt pretty cool :)
My district is amazing! And guess what? Elder sampson is in my
district! So I see him everyday! It makes things so much easier and
kinda feels not everything is so different. My district is so great
thought. Theres 8 elders then theres me and my companion haha so we are
very out numbered. But theyre already like my home away from home so I
love it. I get made fun of on the daily though haha.
The next couple days were spanish spanish and MORE SPANISH.
Spanish is super hard haha but I feel like im coming along okay for only
being here for a week! Hopefully Ill keep getting better :)
My teachers are so awesome too! They are Hermana Dinierio, Hermano
Gronaldos, and Hermano Huitta (i call him hermano blanco because its
pronouced white and he thinks it super funny) They are some of the
coolest people I have ever met. They make being in class all day pretty
bareable haha :)
I also taught my first lesson in spanish!! His name was Jorge (but
its really not because hes actually just a teacher) and we taught him
about the book of mormon! We teach a new investigator tonight too! Its
crazy how fast theyre making us do things! I already know how to pray
and bear my testimony in spanish too! I feel pretty cool about that :)
Sunday
was probably one of the best days of the week. We watched church
movies and listened to talks and just kinda got to hang out which is
weird because were ALWAYS busy! But busy is good :)
The food actually isnt as bad as i thought. But im still not too
fond... for breakfast all i have is yogurt and then chicken and rice
every other meal. They have these fruits called granadias, look them up
cause theyre super weird haha :)
Today is Pday and we got to go to the temple!! It was so cool but
also all in spanish hahah! The temple is tiny so it was just so
different than what im use too. K so Peru is crazy! To go to the
temple you walk out the doors and go to the street and wait for a tiny
little bus full of a million people to pick you up then they cram you
all inside of it and drive at a million miles per hour! It was they
craziest thing ever but probably the funnest thing ive done so far! I
bought a new set of spaish scriptures because i didnt have one and then
some soap at Tottos, which is like the target of peru but more ghetto
haha :) They have this temple store that sells some cool stuff that im
gonna send home as soon as i can but if you have any requests for
anything you want just let me know. They sell ties and jewlery and bags
and some other cool stuff.
And about what to send with Kenzie.. If you could send my watch and
those CTR rings thatd be awesome. Also my hand sanatizers and Tys
nametag too! Those are both in my purse but I dont remember where i left
that.... Im sure its around somewhere :)
And yes if you could send that package that I got ready before I
left to Ty that would be awesome. Also if you could send him back his
SIM card too that would be great. Its in that binder of letters in one
of the letter envelopes. It shouldnt be too hard to find i dont think.
I hope you guys had a good week. I miss you all so much! I was a
little homesick the first day but honestly I love it here. Everyone has
been so nice and all the other Hermanas knows what its like so its all
been amazing. Its so good to hear from you too! I hope this week goes
by fast so i can talk to you again! Its crazy that its only been a week
becasue it feels like its been months! But they say thats usually how it
is then the rest of the week fly by so we will just have to see i
guess. I love you guys! I am running out of time and i still have a few
more emails to write so ill talk to you next week!
LOVE YOU! MISS YOU!
Love,
Love,
Hermana Mitchell
