WHERE WILL IT BE????

Waiting to find out which mission I will go to in June

This is how my clothes were washed in my first area

FIRST ZONE

Companion and Yucky Bathroom

Hey fam, I bet that you are all wondering what the heck is going on with me.  Well first things first, I am serving in Lima right now, in SAN martin is the name of the stake, and bello horizante is my sector, or my ward.  My companion is Elder Armijo, he has been in the mission for 8 months now and he is my trainer, but i have experienced alot already in what 5 days now, and yes mom my pday is mondays.  But the times will always be different so i dunno how often we will get to write back and forth so for now we will just write big emails, and good news for you your emails will be bigger now because it is a rule of the missions to only email your family, so i have 45 min to write 1 email and try to figure out how to send pictures on this bunky computer.  But i am going to send like 5 pictures today, of how my bathroom looks but we are cleaning it today, well atleast i am, it doesn´t bother elder armijo.  We get along way good and he is an awesome trainer, but i hope that you like the pictures, the toilet is so close to the wall that you can barley sit there it is really small.  My pensionista is the Quispe family i think, they are ok but i cant understand alot yet, just gotta keep working at it and try to stay patient, sometimes i get discouraged about it because it is hard to not understand people, but i sometimes get the jist of things.  OK some things that has happened to me so far, so i wanted to take some advil yesterday and you know how advil and nyquil look exactly the same, ya i took a nyquil instead, ya i could barely keep my eyes open at church.  That night someone was having a party because it was saturday night and so they had the music blasting from 10 until 6 in the morning, so it was like a double whammy on me.  We had 8 people come to church with us, and should have some baptisms soon i think, i just ask everyone to get baptised, haha i know it in spanish and what do i have to lose, i dont understand what they say back to me anyways, ahah yes i will say it, that is not the spanish they taught me in the mtc.  But my room is really nice it is just the bathroom, yup my life has changed.  But were all pretty sure that we are lima central, elder mccracken and elder samuelson were the only ones to get sent to the provinces out of the 15 of us. There is alot of work for me and elder armijo, so many of the members dont keep the sabbith day holy, they all just buy on sundays and stuff, and the chapel is thrashed it is way dirty, and then there is alot of people who need the gospel here too..  Toads the soccer team here is U,  so it is pronounced like oo, and everyone has the U symbol on there cars and stuff and i think bout ya everytime i see it.  President tyler is awesome i thought he would be strict but he isn´t at all, loves sports and he says he has no rules, our rules are the missionary manual, and so that is way cool to just work and not worry about rules, i just hope that this language thing with come.  I am not very good at the whole bus thing yet because it is hard, they have so many people in there and it is moving all fast, have a backpack on my back and have to get through all the people is way hard.  We get like 100 soles a month to live on so like 33 dollars, and that is plenty here, i think , but maybe it is more, ya it more im not sure.  But today is pday so were just going to get some things done.  K mom my address is the address is my call letter, the one of my mission, like the one that has the office number, 604-B or something like that.  So give it to whit for me because she wanted to send me a letter.  I have 3 minuetes left and am going to send it now because i dont want it to take for ever and then not send, love everyone, i am fine for now, dont worry about me!! Tell whit that i got her email and all that, and tell her i will be writing her, she still can write me emails i just cant send them to other people than my family, love everyone very much and think about you always!!

A GREENIE HE SHALL BE

GREENIE

As we understand it, a "greenie" you are,
An experienced missionary you're NOT by far.
Be not discouraged it won't be long
Till all of your greenie days are gone.

Not many more weeks until you can say
"Oh, I remember that wonderful day
When a package from home arrived green as could be
With plentiful surprises all meant for me.
But now I am seasoned and wise as can be

All because of hard work, prayer and study."

Happy Mother's Day

Hey how is my fam doing?? good news... You get to call me on saturday.  K here is the number for you to call on saturday,  51-1-3494282    and i think that the secritary will answer and direct you to the classroom that i will be in.  we get to only talk for five minutes.  my time is from 8 am to 9 am on saturday morning, so that is 7am to 8 am your time.  so how this is going to work is there will be like 10 elders per room, and whoevers mom calls they will go into the room and talk for 5  min and then hang up and then the next family and so on. so i think that you will be having to call a couple times to get a hold of me.  but practice the number and make sure that it works before saturday, if it doesn{t work then i dunno what you would do, maybe call the church office and have them help.  but i just get to talk for five min so maybe invite the fam over and put it on speaker so you can all hear me, and invite whit over she is excited to hear my voice again.  so i cant wait to talk to you.  i hope that i explained that good enough.  if i dont get to talk to you which i know that i will, i hope, just want to wish all of you a happy mothers day and know that i think bout all of you all the time. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM, I LOVE YOU AND WITHOUT YOU I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT HERE.  And i cant even imagine what i would be doing without this, so thank you so much, the spirit is growing inside me every day and have recieved so much help from our heavenly father. o you just emailed me...
