Week 4

hello everyone!
holy cow only two more weeks here. I cannot believe i have been out a month! my mission is going to fly hah. I am really excited to get out of the CCM. its getting old haha i still have no idea what i´m doing it will just be nice to have a change! So this morning we went to the temple as usual and i´m pretty sure we fit a record breaking number of people on the bus. we were laughing so hard because they just kept piling more and more peruvians on haha plus we are all too tall for the bus so we have to bend our heads down. good times. i got some cool peruvian pants and a scripture case today so im pretty excited about that!
so some highlights of this week...we had thanksgiving and watched a devotional from provo which was alright. and then had a thanksgiving meal type thing. it still consisted of rice but they tried haha! a bunch of kids from pueta (i think thats how you spell it) peru came and visited the CCM the other day and we got to talk to them which was definitly the highlight of my week! it was so much fun! i talked with this 15 year old girl for over an hour! we sang rhianna together and katy perry haha it was just so fun! I LOVE the peruvian people. they are thee kindest people i have ever met! its starting to get super hot here! ive already got a really nice tan line going so thats exciting haha! umm me and Hailstone were called to be the new sister leaders over all the hermanas in the CCM this week so were pretty excited about that! it will be super fun! oh and i got to see the moon for the first time this week haha usually its behind the clouds but someone told me its upside down here? are they messing with me orrr yes? idk but it was pretty! lets see what else...they put up christmas lights this week! its pretty exciting haha we are having a lighting ceremony on monday and im singing in it hahahaha hilarious right? the things you do for your companion...it seems crazy its december because of how warm it is but im not complaining! hah it sounds like its begining to look a lot like christmas at home (cheesy i know) but i love the christmas season! i cant wait to see what it will be like here! oh one more thing...first off im soo happy i am going to arequipa! i just keep hearing how beautiful it is there but we found out this week that they mostly speak quetchajua (dont know how to spell it) there and it is this insane language haha the lady i sat by at the temple this morning was from arequipa and was literally not any taller than my hips! i was a giant and she had no teeth and spoke only quetchajua haha. so i mean hopefully we wont have to learn that! but im just really excited im going there! lima is nice and all but not somewhere i would want to stay haha! anyways i hope everyone is doing well! i love hearing from you all! i appreciate everything you all do for me! LOVE YOU ALL!
i´ll leave you with this quote a hermana shared with us before she left on tuesday (which was really sad by the way! i hate when missionaries leave haha)
p.s. i dont know where the quote marks are on this keyboard soo yeahh..
there will nver be another time in our lives when Christ will ask you to step away from your family and leave behind everything you love. but there will also never be another time when he gets you all to himself. he is so excited and waiting for you to fall into his arms completely.
i really liked that. this time that i have out here is so short. i am so so grateful to be here and KNOW this is where i am suppose to be! i love it. and  love this gospel with my whole heart! i hope you all have a great week!
