.3 diy little ceasers

 I feel quite guilty that i didnt send an email last week because I've been doing a surprisingly good with keeping weekly. I don't even have a good excuse...hora peruana I guess just means a week late. 


Met little ceasers on the street. He was quite amable. My comps and I have been staying up so late just chatting. The problem is above us lives our Japanese friend named Chino. He's so lit. And all the JAS love him too so the boys come over to hang out with their tio and our windows are always open so they tossed us some juice and cookies the other night. It was quite chevere.

Went to the casa del senor. I love it I love it I love it. We got to go do a session of endowments (which is like a really special learning session basically) and I just felt so happy. In the temple you wear all white and At the end of the endowment you get to go in a room called the celestial room and it literally feels like you're in heaven. And it made me so heart happy to see all my little mission friends in this heavenly place with me

If heaven was a place on earth it'd be the mission peru arequipa. I love this boy, he's sebastian. He came up put of the water after his baptism just beaming and waved at us. Like "guys I'm new and different!" 

Had a photo shoot--I mean zone conference. But I seriously felt like my spirit grew up a lot. We talked about charity.
The pure love of christ. 
The love without expectations without requirements without its ands or buts.
The kind that EVERY child of god deserves. 

Christmas is comingggg and I feel like I'm living in a hallmark movie, the kind that it's summer during Christmas. I think this Christmas is going to be focused on HIM and that's how it should he. 

Had an exchange with hermana henostroza (throwback to alto selva alegre days) and I felt so trunky hahaha. It's different when you are comps with brand new missionaries than it is to be with someone headed home in a few transfers. 

I love my comps I love peru and I love you too!

I saw my bestie from tacna at the temple the other night (milagros) and almost criedddd because tacna will always have a big part of my heart. 


My Lil baby is all grown up and has INCREDIBLE spanish now. It made me miss her SO. Much. But its OK I know we're gonna be comps so soon. 
Anyways have a sick week. But not sick like hermana ferrin she is ill. Hna darelli thinks it's mold poisoning from our bathroom. Yippee. Also we made homemade pizzas today and it felt like a throwback to junior year. Good old pday. Love yall.

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...
