Finally in Peru

DEAREST FAMILY AND FRIENDS,

i made it! im actually here! who knew this day would actually come! 
and its everything i imagined AND MORE! 
check out the blog: (i made it to the mission blog) 
 
ok where i live: i feel like im camping all the time. dont touch the shower head while you{re showering cause it will shock you. and make sure you wear sandals in the shower or you will get bugs inder your nails. or worse. we live in what they call [a room] cause its just one room out of someones house, except someone different lives down stairs and some one different lives up stairs. i cant even explain. but its small. just enough room for three beds, three desks and a bathroom with a shower curtain for a door. home sweet home. yes we have hot water. thank the heavens! i love my comps. im with Hna Boody who i knew in the mtc, and a native, my mom aka trainer is FHna Huamon (pronounced woman) and she IS the woman. so small, so cute and very peruvian. so no more english for us. if we want to communicate, its spanish. solo espanol. woow! every where is dirty. like i said, i feel like im camping. lol its rare to find a paved road. the driving is CRAZXY here. if there are laws, nobody keeps them... if you know me well you know im an anxious driver, if in not the one driving, and the worst back seat side seat driver. day one i was crammed in the back of a mini van with 7 missionaries, and im pretty sure i grew an ulcer, cause that van was swerving inand out of cars like nobody sbusiness adn there was nothing i could do about it.finally after gasping at every other car and humabn we lamost hit, i decided to just save my self the years and gray hairs and lose my eyes. i covered my face wth my delta blanket andby a miracle we made it to the hotel. LOCO CRAZY my friends.
 
we have a cute little pencionista who cooks all our meals. we cannot eat with memebers cause the food has to be cooked jsut right so we dont get sick. idk why cause i still have diaria..... name this movie .... ill probably have diarias since easters....
nach libre
anyways }twice this week the electricityh went out.there is a guy who lives in this house who has h1n1, it will be a bilagro if we dont get it. 
not too consistent
we walk every where. i have a ginormous blister on my left foot. and we cannot tgo to about 7 pther streets after 7:30 cause its too dangerous. is it fine tha tthe street we live is one of those streets? its normal right? any ways 
 
we hade a baptism this week! yes, fist saturday here and we had a bpatism. her name is josaphina and she is 73 years old. she has no family so we got to help her change..... and lets just say ill never be the same..... ill leave it at that. 
she is a sweet heart hto. she kept saying [mis reynas mis reynas[ which means my queens my queens. its so fuuny she iwas sooooooo stinking adorable. but she smells bad. she really needed a bath. so that baptism was REALLY good. i gave the talk. i did a cool demonstration with a penny, hhand sanitizer adn a match. i talked about how the spirit clenses by fire after we are clensed by water. it was neat. every one liked it. and the missionaries who attended couldn tbelieve i have only been out 4 months cause my spanish was really good! milagros milagros. (miracles miracles)

Picking up Josaphina for her baptism
