2.1 Oh HI yo from OHIO

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, readers of this email of all ages. 
YO IM IN OHIO. And it's wild. Every day is like a trillion times busier than the last, and I'm only been here for like 4 days lol. But that's OK I'm learning lots. 

I got here on Thursday night after a bunch of layovers. I went to bed at 130 and woke up at 330 in the MTC so it was pretty rough. I don't think I've ever been more tired haha. We had to ride a bunch of busses and trains to the airport so that was another no bueno thing because I was already sick of transportation and then our flight was delayed twice so in all actuality we probably could've slept till 7 and still made the flight. OH well. I got to see Barnard and checketts before they got on their plane so it was worth it !! 

I spent the night at the mission home with these 3 cutie sisters who I am now totally bonded with and love. They're awesome and I can't wait to hopefully see them at zone conference. 

I get to speak Spanish here!!! Which is so so exciting! Not many of my 28d kids who got reassigned get to speak Spanish so I'm counting myself lucky.

My comp is Sister Oler and she is very swag. Shes from twin falls and we are literally the only hermanas in the entire mission. She doesn't think I'm as funny as I think I am but that's okay because I need to be humbled lol.

We spent all of Saturday calling and inviting our friends to church, and then going in public to ask people to come with us!! It was insane and a total jump in the deep end no floaties or goggles and no you don't get a kickboard moment. So basically we had a whopping 7 people say they were gonna come to church. And that was wild. And then morning of we had only 2 actual commits. And then one of the dudes didnt show. Womp womp. Hes missing out big time. But our friend Edith came to church on Sunday!!! She is INCREDIBLE. After first hour meeting, my companion was like okay I need to go talk to this guy that just got baptized you're in charge of Edith and I was like BRO UH cuz there were quite a few things we needed to tell and ask her. But it was AWESOME. I asked her all about how she felt, and confirmed our lesson with her this week. I gave her a book of Mormon and asked her to read it. THATS RIGHT I INVITED HER TO READ ALL IN SPANISH. pats self on back does a snoopy happy dance woot woot. Anyways. 

We also got to go to a general authority devotional all in Spanish Friday night. It was mega bueno even though I was trying not to fall asleep the whole time Porque I was still exhausted I still understood like a lot of it. Spanish is really pretty and also kinda simple words which is so nice. One thing one sister said is that sometimes we have easy things that seem hard. Which I was like girl I get you exactly. Don't beat yourself up if something that "should be" easy isn't.

Anyways. All is well. I'm ill still like I swear my nose is a snot making machine so I probably have a sinus infection. Yay. Shout to my district I miss you all so much like a lot but it's ok I know it's gonna be an awesome reunion at Pratts place.

I have no más palabras. So here's some flicks!! Love you all and send emails cuz they make me chuckle !! Jesus LOVES YOU so dang much. Don't forget it!! 

Flicks:
Look at my coat everyone from my mtc district. Isn't that awesome I finally have a coat. Also BEAVERCREEK Ohio.

6.9 All I want is to dry my clothes in a dryer

This week was an absolute whirlwind. Like i feel like pday was yesterday but last tuesday was like at least a month ago. TIME IS SO WEIRD ON THE MISH but bueno.  Ill be so honest my camera roll right now is full of screenshots of pme (my missionary scheduling app) and random.phone numbers im supposed to remember so there might not be much content...props to.hermana de hoyos for actually taking photos.  We're finally starting to see some progress here, we didnt even have a day this week with more than an hour of finding (which is huuuuge cuz usually We're knocking and calling for a good 3 or 4 hours). It makes me so joyous and also.worried that prez is gonna boot me out of here next transfer which would be so emo because there are some mega cool people we have progressing!  I thought i was getting less tired but i guess not because i started saying comp prayer the other day to start our study and fell asleep mid oracion so that was embarrassing. My comp just stared at me t...

6.11 Better than disneyland

Image
I am so bad at writing emails which is so lame I'm sorry I really don't do Peru justicia.  This week was like disneyland for me. We got to go to the temple.  I love God's house. He really has such good interior design style. And holy moly being able to participate in an endowment (a special like learning ordinance) IN SPANISH I was giddy. I'm a dork I know.  BUT anyways I was very happy. Speaking of happy things. Valentina got baptized this week. My heart was marshmellowy, she bore her testimony and said she couldn't be more grateful for the example we as missionaries have given her. Best compliment in the world. We asked her how she felt after and she Goes "normal". Ay que te pasa but her brother wants to learn more now because of her :)) My poor comp was DYING last week so we did an emergency division and she went to independencia with the hermana leader who threw up in district council...and all the elders were coughing...so they all were giving each ot...

3.1 Best Ways to Dissapoint Peruvians

I'm writing this email in my casa en PERU!!! LOCO. I still can't really believe I'm here haha!  I don't have much to say, but we have a great ffa program lined up. *name that film* But seriously my mind is un poco fried and so it's difícil to even remember what happened since a week ago I was in Ohio.  But to start I need to tell you how gringo i feel. I want to speak Spanish so BAD with the ward and especially my cutie compañera hma Bautista. Ella es de la Republica Dominicana!!!! My heart!!! She's so fun and cool and walks into traffic like it's nothing. And I am oblivious to traffic, am a head taller than everyone, and stand around like a dunce when someone asks me a question. I totally understand what people are saying until they ask me something simple like where are you from and all of a sudden I have yogurt for brains (which you drink here BTW. I've been doing that forever tho since I always forgot spoons for my lunch) Hence the first reason I dis...
