Hey Guys!!
So this week was very long but also very
short at the same time. There are so many missionaries out here that are
from Arizona. I feel like Our district is the best out here.
So
we got here in Lima at around 12 and we didn't make it to the CCM
until about 2am and didn't go to sleep until around 330am. My bags didn't
come in but I have been surviving on what I brought as my carry on and
what Hermana Moore has been able to provide for me. I was pretty
discouraged one day about my bags but the Lord decided to send a soccer
ball my way and let´s just say it wasn't a fun experience. I have
prayed so much about my bags and I am confident that the Lord will make everything well.
Every day till about noon the sky is just overcast and then it feels like the evening in Phoenix. Muy Bueno.
The
food here is amazing! I haven´t been able to finish all my food every
single time but I wish I could. Sorry Elder Sprague but we are able to
have one thing of ice cream after every meal for lunch and dinner. I
have probably gained like 10 pounds just off of the ice cream.
The
real thing we fight for is mantequilla (butter). Butter is life over
here. The Ladies in the cafeteria always have little things of pan out
every meal and they are never good without butter but with a little
butter they are to die for. But there´s one catch, butter is only served
for breakfast and we can´t take anything out of the cafeteria. So we
decided that during breakfast we'd take as much mantequilla as we can
without looking suspicious and hide them in the napkin holders and under
the tables.
The classes here are pretty
difficult but I think I have picked up more spanish in the week I've
been here than I did the 4 and a half years of school. Everybody tries to
talk to you in Spanish until you can´t hold a conversation and then
the go to English. I can understand when somebody is talking to me but
my mind is super slow when it comes to talking.
It
seems like almost everyone here can play the piano and so I haven´t
really been asked to do anything yet. I do have a musical number but it
isn't for a couple of weeks. I've been kinda depressed because I feel
like I haven´t been used a lot and I haven´t received a calling yet
(besides being an ambassador to the Lord).
I´m having fun here and I really hope that I can hear from you guys and how your lives are going. Two years are going to fly.
Love,
Elder Garbett
