So I am in Peru I’m not going to lie I really really love it here. The only hard thing is I don’t know Spanish. I got here last night at three en la manana and then woke up at seis y media in la manana. so estoy muy cuansado. So I really do love it here. I’m really home sick too. It’s like all how I look at it because it’s South America now. So it’s really really really weird. But at the same time really awesome. You know? Sorry that the spelling is so bad I only get a half hour to write so I really excited about Spanish though. My compeñero doesn’t speak a word of English so it’s so hard to communicate. Well he said one word ud.. Girl friend. That one word sparked our friend ship. I said quezaps. Ha perhaps and he was like oh yeah you totally do. so we talked I told him about Laura then showed him the book with my family in it so it was really cool tonight I wrote down so questions to ask him in Spanish so I will be able to talk to him more and in depth tonight. So I’m really excited about that. yeah every were is Spanish I’m learning so much in just a day and we don’t even have class today so its really crazy I do have some photos I want to send but I wont cause of the time. So my compeñero es elder robes. He is from Bolivia the town of Paz or in English joy. He is a really awesome guy I only see him at the mills cause en la manna I will take classes with all the greengos. So leavings my district was really hard. I love those guys ha so when I’m older I will probably go to like 11 weddings. ha lol. Well yeah I’m now in South American and I’m starting to see how important a mission is. In the air port I have never flown before so take off was my favorite part super awesome. Any way in the air port every one keep reading my name tag and like just watched me so I realize that I represent jeuscristo. And like everything I do shows what our church is. So I was disappointed at our travel party so immature. But I represented really well. So in the air port I talked to this member in Spanish for ever. I was on the flight going form Atlanta to Peru. She has been a member for 30 years got married in a temple some where in Peru and her husband is a bishop. She actually started the whole conversation she was looked at my tag and said yo {<i] Mormon. I was like wow yo tambien I also ha-ha it works for what little Spanish I know. Boy did that lady talk really fast I only understood little little parts of her Spanish. But it was really cool we talked for the whole plane ride. The CCM in Peru is so beautiful I love the weather out here. It’s so moist and always like the same. I can wear a suit with out being all sweaty today. So during meals I sit by a bunch of natives I’m totally surrounded by Spanish and I can’t do anything but really listen and catch a few words every once and a while ha. But it’s really awesome the more I try to talk to people the more I understand and learn and it has only been half a day so I really think Spanish will come. Hey guys thank you so much for the package. Even though I don’t know who it’s from the message made sense I couldn’t read the signature. But that you so much. The night before me and 3 others left the district we had a party. Like once you guys see the picture you will be like wow. There was so much junk food there. We oh man it was really awesome like mucho bueno. So then we left and I love flying. Then we landed got on a buss and drove to the ccm. It’s so small but the people are so nice. Random salt lake plane story. This huge guy with tattoos all over his body sat in front of me and I judged him. But elder hill. Nugged me and says don’t judge. After the flight and we were leaving he pulled me aside and was like hey man good luck were are you going I hope you have fun and good luck. Like it was really cool I was like yeah I shouldn’t have judged so much but it was really awesome. Yeah so I’m in Peru!!!!!!!!!!!! So un believable. I love it they have football tables out side in the court yard and like ping p0ong tables in the court yard and one giant soccer field. And then a resident hall and eating quarter it’s so lovely. So times I get home sick though but I think that will ware off when I get out of the ccm and get to proselyte. We will go out to like a big walwart once a week for p day and buy stuff we need I traded in my 100 dollars and got 272 nevuo sols. New sun. Which is an awesome name for money so I have one hindered dollars in cash and my card to get all my stuff but I’m all ready all would need to buy is stamps. So yeah it’s an amazing how many Spanish there is it’s so crazy. I will learn really fast about the language I think any way I will go and send pics now I got ten minutes left I love you all. Just kidding it didn’t work so I will talk more. Ha to bad I bet this email is like so boaring. But I learned from the plane ride that the best way to teach is by example. Like be me and smile all the time and I can get in the door. They will let me in cause of how I am and how I look. One more cool story we got her and we did get our hair diciket. Like we showed up and they were like you guys need a hair cut. Ha SO IM BALD again yes! lol funny story. But I’m running our of time I got 3 minutes left. And actually the food is okay. like I can handle in and I’m sure over time I will really start to like it more and more. But also the house usually don’t have roofs they just have a floor and like there is clothes our to dry land fridges and stuff like that so it’s really really cool. I don’t think I have any more stories but I’m sure they will come as I get to go out once a week and talk to real people I love you all and I got to go. but yeah once a week we leave and track how awesome is that. I like Atlanta there is trees every were there. Say hi to every one and be of good cheer the future is as bright as your faith NOS VEMOS
So I just wanted to say why I’m out here. I know that I am nothing and nothing comes except granted form god. I pray all the time that god will grant me the gift of saving one of his loved children. I know that god lives. And I know that Jesus es me salvador. Like with out the atonement I would die. This message is so profound and so simple. But in all reality it blesses lives. I want to share this simple message that a young boy say god and the father and through this we can live with God once again. This sounds so simple on paper but in heart it means the world to me. I know god is my father, and Jesus lives. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of god and that the book of Mormon is true. I love you and in know time I will be home if I try and work hard the time goes by really fast so in my perspective the two years will be as Jacob said his life was, it went by as if a dream. I know this is true and I will be diligent to find that one person. I know this church es verdadero con todo mi corazon. I now that the Spanish will come. I love you all.
