oh mannn what a week! so yeah Arequipa is great! its just so different here i dont even know how to explain it! i am trying to upload photos right now but its insanely slow so idk. I woke up this morning and washed my clothes on the roof of our house thingy we live in and then tried to clean our bathroom because its just so gross haha so yeah thats exciting. but this week went so fast and so slow at the same time. i dont know how to explain it! ill just kind of tell you how my days go yeah? soo we wake up and go running....well i do haha and then we walk to our pensionistas house for breakfast which is always so interesting. we eat so many carbs here it makes me worried haha my stomach still hates the food. its jacked up but whatever. i thought i had the flew this morning but i think it maybe passed? idk haha anyways after that we go back to our pension and do personal and companionship study for two hours then get ready and leave! we teach like 5 or 6 lessons a day and i talk like for one minute in each haha i cant even begin to tell you the frustration. but after that we eat lunch at like 3 and then do language study and 12 weeks study and then leave again for more teaching or contacting or whatever we have that day! its super hot here but i love it! its sooo dry which is perfect for me haha. we eat dinner at like 10 at night on our pension floor so i usually dont eat it becuase gross....then we go to bed! sooo yeah haha each day is a Little different though. we spend a lot of time with our zone! me and hermana andia are the only hermanas in our zone and i am the only one who doesnt speak spanish so thats super fun. our zone leader is from Utah and is leaving next transfer...oh and Elder malloy is in my zone mom haha i told him his blog made me laugh so hard. hes cool. i love my zone! they make fun of me like 100 percent of the time but its fine. ive been playin the violin a ton here! one of the elders form chili brought his violin so i played for a church thing and then for ronaldos baptism! ill tell you more about that in a second.
I really want to dye my hair hahaha i have yet to see another blonde person here and everyone just stares at me....i am ALWAYS the tallest person on the bus haha its pretty funny. i smack my head probably five times a day. hermana andia thinks its hilarious! i love her. she is so so so patient with me! we have a lot of fun together though. my spanish is coming along. i can basically communicate how i feel in broken spanish haha and i can understand a lot more then i could on tuesday so i have faith it will get better haha!
on saturday was ranaldos baptism! it was the chillest baptism ever haha i was so confused about it. we went to get him from his house thing and he just writes a note and puts it on the door that says "went to my baptism..chau" haha then we went to the chapel and he got baptized at like 9:30 at night haha idk it was weird but im so excited for him! he is the only one in his family that is a member so hes going to have to be strong! hes 13 i believe...after the baptism we were so late to getting back to our house and the taxis or buses would not stop for us haha it was hilarious! each of us were standing on different sides of the Street trying to flag down someone. it was fun haha the buses here are soooo crazy. its like a small van type thing and they just pack like 50 people inside. sometimes i sit up front with the bus driver which is probably so hilairous because im a gringo haha i love it.
so for christmas i think im skyping at 5 here so like 3 your time. i think thats what she said... haha i have an hour to skype. yayyy! im excited but nervous it will make me home sick haha. i love you guys soooo much! im so happy to be here. this is the hardest thing i have ever ever ever done from throwing up everyday because my stomach hates the food to not being able to understand anything hahaha (it sounds worse than it is) but its so worth it. seeing ranaldo get baptized was so cool. we have another baptism on saturday for Milagros. shes 17 years old and a nanny here. were besties even though we dont know what we are saying most of the time haha i love her to death! im so excited for her!
anyways, i love you all to death! i feel so blessed. i know i say that all the time haha but i just do! i hope you guys have a great week and i will talk to you on christmas!
