Well we made to the CCM last night around two in the morning and had the privilege of waking up at 6 in the morning. Everybody is exhausted from the flight and the bus ride. The bus ride was cool, we pulled out of the airport and it everything looked like a spanish version of salt lake, big and city like you know... well yeah. So we drive around a corner and it turns into a ghetto everywhere, graffiti, trash in the street, it was awesome. We drove through that for about an hour, it was so cool. Then we paid to go through a toll booth and after that the neighborhood was a lot nicer, thats where we are now. We pulled into to the CCM to see a bunch of missionaries waiting for us with the MTC prez and wife. They helped us get to our room which sleeps 6 people, I don`t think they we're to happy to be woken up by us and i know we weren't to happy to be woken up by them about three hours later. The CCM is way nice, its a newer building, with 10ft walls, guards and a gun turret on one of the buildings, the inside looks like a new church. Its been an adventure so far, the people speak crazy spanish down here, its fast and its hard to understand. The last thing i want to do right now is try understand some of it, I'm so tired and jet laggy combined with humidity. My new companion is Elder Roadabaugh, the one from Lehi UT. We're going to do great he is always speaking spanish and wants to stop speaking English, i doubt he ever will too. We were all hoping for a native companion but there are to many white missionaries so now they are having English together for the first 3 weeks and then the last 3 weeks you join up with a native companion. I have more to tell but i already wrote it and I’ll send it in a letter.
Dad you really need to get me a handgun while I'm gone so i'll have one when i get back because of obama, sounds stupid but i really want to have something before it gets illegal to buy one. Elder Lusk has shown the me the importance of this, through is infinite wisdom haha.
I don't know if we're going this Saturday or not but on Saturdays we go tracking out in Lima so i have to work hard on my spanish between now and then. Thanks for the sentences dad. I know how to conjugate verbs that involve me how do i do it to other people like I’m good with quiero but I need more experience with quiere and quieren, gustar etc...
