Wow well that was a loooong first week in the CCM let me tell you. We got in at 3 am on Wednesday morning and then we didnt stop from there. My campanions name is Elder Clobes, hes from Ventura, California. Hes a pretty chill guy and loves rugby a ton haha. The food here is very hit and miss. Breakfast is always this tiny little plate of eggs and toast and thats it so im starving in about 30 minutes haha and then sometimes the lunch and dinner is freaking fantastic and then sometimes its 3 week old ham so you just never know haha. We get an hour of physical activity every day and we always play soccer with the Latinos cause they are really good at. I´m not bad at soccer I figured out and when a gringo is good at soccer the latinos respect you a ton haha. Learning Spanish freaking sucks let me tell you. We do a few hours every day studying it and learning how to do certain things pertaining to the gospel every day but it´s just not clicking. Its pretty stressful and sucks, but I can definitely tell Ive made some improvement. Also Peru is so ghetto its crazy and they drive like maniacs. On way to the CCM from the airport we drove through the middle of Lima and every building is stacked atleast 4 stories high and most of them dont have roofs and it honestly looks like they were a bunch of bombs dropped everywhere and the drivers just dont follow any of the rules and i swear im about to die everytime i get in a car. New Years is like their biggest holiday down here in Peru in something so all night fireworks were going off so we couldnt sleep and so like everyone was awake and the sky literally looked like it was day outside it was sweet. Well thats about it for the first week. Everyday went suppper slow, but i cant believe its already been a week! Love and miss you all!!
