4 Weeks Down.....100 To Go

 Well it has been 1 month tomorrow that I have been out on a mission. It has been great made a lot of new friends, tried a lot of new food, and learned a lot of stuff. This past week, was conference which was really good, but I had to watch in a suit and tie, in a hard chair, with no food, which sucked badly. Sad to not hear of the Chiclayo temple being built yet, but it will happen soon. I don´t know if you guys remember hearing about the member of the seventy getting released, Caesar Hooker, but he came and talked to us about 2 weeks ago, with his wife, we kinda laugh about his name a lot. Also it was the first time I got a little home sick seeing them show the temple and that, made me miss Salt Lake a little, but it is all good that feeling left me quickly. However for lunch on Saturday I got to watch a kid choke!! He was sitting right in front of me, and he choked on 3 pieces of meat that he didn´t chew completely through. It was actually super freaky to watch him be no being able to do anything with a super white face, but we got them out and he is still alive. Check that off the bucket list!!

Once again I went to the temple today, to come back to a whole bunce of newbies here at the CCM. There are 49 new latinos 35 new americans, with a total of 143 people here now. I have met the Latinos just barely who are going to Chiclayo with us so it will be good, so far I count about 15 of us going to Chiclayo. Next week will be my last time writing from here at the CCM, so it is exciting to think that I will be out speaking spanish in the field in 12 days.

Yesterday I tripped an Hermana when we were doing a relay race, she jammed like 3 fingers ripped her dress and scratched her knee kind of bad. So check that off the bucket list!! It was an accident, but really funny. I don´t really have time, because all 143 people have to right today, and we are getting new computers that are kicking me out a lot, so I will try to talk more next time, if the pictures don´t show up I am sorry,
1 is of my first roomies the latinos that we crazy and fun.

Oct 3rd-Halfway Done With CCM

Well it has officially been a full three weeks here at the CCM, and everything it good. I am now considered a senior citizen here, and I kinda feel that way. The days feel like weeks here and the weeks feel like days here. The new group of newbies are pretty fun, but some are having problems here, so I am trying to help them out. We have 130 missionarys here and 50 of them are latino, and 38 of the nortamericans just got here last week. Other than that everything here is pretty much the same, We spend all day learning spanish, speaking spanglish to an "investigator" while teaching them a lession. Sometimes we teach 4 lessions a day. One cool thing that happened is that we had 30 people come all the way down from Chiclayo, on a temple trip, and when they were done they came up to the CCM to be investigators. It was really cool to talk to them and talk about the fish and the heat. The lessions were not fun because they spent the whole time correcting my spanish, but still they were good. P-day again, we went to the temple, again, so I have been to the Lima Peru temple 3 times now, and I will go 2 more times before I leave. The food is still amazing, I eat about a cookie sheet worth of food every meal except for breakfast. Half of it is rice, but it still very good. I might actually gain some weight while I am down here. The teachers are amazing and fun. I will send picture once I know how to send them, but I don´t really have a bunch of time.

Week Of Emotions-Sept 26th

Hello again ya´ll,

Happyness: As I said last week, Thursday was my companions birthday, so we (our latino roomies and I) got a cake when we went downtown. We sang happy birthday to him in the cafeteria, but we had to stop halfway through because supposively we can´t sing there. SO later at like 9:30 we had a little party in our room, and yes I did shove his face in his cake. Twice. We found out that we are going to the temple every p-day until we leave the CCM, so I did go the temple again this morning. We saw some americans in the grocery store today speaking english, and we were so excited to hear english that we went and talked to them...it was really awkward.

Sadness: Also last week, we had an elder in our district go home which made all of us really sad. But after words we talked as a district together, and we all realized that it is really sad being this far away from our families, women, raspberries, and cars. However we are a new family that love and care for each and everyone of us, even after 2 weeks, and leaving them and here right now, would be just as hard as leaving the life that i had in Utah. Also on tuesday morning about 80-90 missionarys left here to go into the field, which included my awesomely funny latino roomates (elders Pacheco, Pequeno, Vargas, and Aguilar), which me and elder henry already miss. So the CCM was really empty and boring until this morning when a whole bunch of newbies showed up, 50 of them are north americans. I haven´t even met my roomies yet, but I know they are from America.

Awesomeness: As for some awesome news. I havent lost in a single sport game yet, in which includes, Futbol, americano futbol, ping pong (theballs suck), and volleyball! um, some elder yesterday told me that he really like my hair, and that kinda freaked me out, so I got a haircut today.

Randomness: We had pizza here on wednesday when all the latinos were gone, so that was a little heavenly like. Also not to freak anyone out...mom... but I did experience a earthquake yesterday. Supposively there was a 7.0 one in a city far away from lima, but we still felt it, and it was freaken AWESOME!!! it lasted for like 30 seconds and was exciting so ....check that off the mission bucket list.

Lastly all I will say about your sinners of Provo town!! There is still time for all ya´ll to choose the right and make the right choice of being a Ute. I will forgive your prior comments of rudeness, and uncorrect statements, and will let you guys bangwagon and like the Utes.

p.s. I never did here a score of the byu utah game...will someone tell what it was? Also tell me more about the earthquake awesomeness. I pretty much live in a marriott prison. I don´t get to see of hear much of anything.

Sept 19th-Numbero Dos

  Hello!!
As you can assume, I now know that my p-day is on thursday, and It has been officially a full week since I have gotten here at the CCM, and I am already sick of it!! We are behind 2 locked fences that we can´t see over until we are on a third floor of a building. So we didn´t even know if we were in Peru. As far as we knew we could have just flew in circles over Georgia for 7 hours and then just stuck us in a prison! However we were able to leave today, and we went down to the Lima temple. It was a really fun spiritual experience for us all. Until the time came when we were going through the vail, and we realized that we have to do all of it in spanish, which we don´t know!! This Saturday everyone in the CCM is going to be going out and prostelyting! Which is going to be horribly awesome, because we don´t know spanish, but yet we will be able to leave these walls again.

As far as Peru, it is a wonderful place. Every night and morning there is something called the Lima mist, where it just looks like fog, but yet it like rains...but it is really just a light mist. They people here are very very nice...until they are driving a car. I hear more people honking there horns here in one hour, then in my whole entire life in Utah!! They also don´t really stop for anything or anyone. Even if your in a crosswalk. It isn´t a law for them to stop for walkers, plus they just don´t care!

The CCM- I don´t really know how to explain it completely. It isn´t really in Lima, in is in a area called La Molina and it is considered one of the richest places in Lima. It isn´t the prettiest place in the world, but it is still nice area. 2 of my roomies moved out, so now there is just me and Elder Henry, and 4 other latinos. Every Latino here is so FUNNY!!! We all get a long and have a good time, until we get on the soccer field. It is going to suck when all of them leave next tuesday. Of the 120 of us misionarys here. There is about 60 latinos and 60 white peeps, and about 30-40 of them are hermanas. That will change next tuesday when pretty much all of them leave except the 20 of us white peeps that flew down last week. They are very strict on rules here. For example, we are only to take pictures on our p-day, with that we can´t take any inside any building here, only outside. The food her is much different (this might be a little gross fyi), I have had rice for every lunch and dinner since we got here, the grossest thing I have had so far has been octopuss and its tenicules thingys. Turns out that they really do have there cereal with yogurt instead of milk, which is good but very weird indeed!! And if you feel like you have to fart... make sure that you are over the toilet because you never know if it really is a fart, or if something else is goin to be flying out!! There has been a lot of sicknessess here. The only time that I have shaken someones hand since I got off the plane in Peru, has been at the Temple this morning. I gave my first blessing also, one elder was feeling really sick, and asked for a blessing so...check that off the bucket list! I am pretty sure that by the time I leave the CCM I am going to need a double knee replacement because of how many prayers we have been saying on our knees.

It might sound like it is terrible here but I actually isn´t as bad as it sounds, and the people here and in my district just make this place fell awesome!!

I am a little short on time because I have to go and meet with interpool for something, plus it is my companions birthday today so we are going to have a party. Feel free to ask more questions for next week though!

Viva Peru-September 12th

Have no fear I have made it.

It was a long and terrible flight all the way to Peru, but during it I made some new friends, but they all have the same name of Elder! Weird! During the flight was the worst thing ever because they had millions of movies and I couldn´t watch any of them. Plus I sat in the middle seat with my legs hitting the back of the seat in front of me. There was 11 of us that flew together out of Salt Lake to Atlanta, then there were about 20 of us total flying to Peru. We arrived at the airport at 10 last night, so 9 your time, but we didn't get back to the CCM until about 12:30, and didn't get to bed until about 2. So I am extremely tired! cause I didnt sleep on the plane either.

My companion is Elder Henry. He is the Elder from Richfield that I meet at the Manti temple when I went through. I also sat by him for all 11 hours of flying we did, he is a really good guy. There are 8 of us elders to a room that is about as big as taylors room. Me and elder henry are the only ones in our room that speaks english. Also there is not a lot of people that work here at the CCM that know english either. It is definitely different here. I would sent pictures but I havent taken any! because it has been dark, and security wouldnt let us take pictures in the Airport. well we could take them, but they would just make us delete them.

Dont worry they do have yogurt! only they use it as milk for there cereal. They probably dont actually do, but we dont know spanish so when they were telling us what to do, that is what it sounded like to us nonspeakers. I dont know when my p-day is yet. but the president said either thursday or tuesday. Love you guys.
