Tuesdays Are The Best Days

So, I have 52 minutes left to talk to everyone so Im making this short and Im making this kinda quick and Im taking pictures of everyones emails to read later, ill respond/write either in email or letter next week. Also these are spanish keyboards so idk how to work punctuation yet. its driving me a little nuts.

First of all, I super miss everyone. I surprisingly dont miss my phone too much, which is how id talk to all of you normally anyway, but i miss being able to talk to you all anytime I want. Okay so the big questions:

Hermana Elisha Ransom is my companion. She is seriously SO GREAT. We get along waaayyyy way well. She is from Washington and went to BYU, she turns 21 in January. I have been so lucky how easy we get along. Shes really chilll and neither one of us have a problem with most things, were both only a little messy and dont freak out over small rules like going to our rooms every once in a while (they say not to accept for to change for physical activity) ... and just different stuff. She watches HIMYM, which made me literally hug her when I found out, but she also watches Dr Who which surprisingly doesnt make me like her any less :D (lol sorry no offense mom and dad)

My district is also seriously THE BEST. We have 2 sets of elders (1 set going to Lima Central with me) and 3 sets of sisters (me and another set of sisters going to central) ... (Hna Ransom is going to Piura, Peru).

Okay, so the MTC, or CCM, is surrounded by 10 ft walls all the way around. So I can{t see much unless Im upstairs and have a good window. But on my way in and today when we went to town (the temple and stores are about a mile away so we take a bus) I saw some. So I will serve in a giant city. Like, its bright 24-7 because of the city lights. I freaking LOVE it cuz its like AZ all over again. I couldnt take many pictures of the city, or like any, but just google lima, peru cities and you{ll get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. Ghetto and foreign, but in an AWESOME WAY.

Also, about 3 out of 10 cars are better than Marks Sentra or Jodys truck. The rest are about the same year or older. But its the city, so its not that theyre super poor, just.. foreign?

Okay, traffic here is terrifying. People don{t stop, busses stop in the middle of the street, and people honk a LOT. Dont wave at anyone cuz theyll think you want a ride and get mad if you dont get in. Its cool though-- a lot of the lights have timers for each colored light so you always know exactly how long  you have to wait. Weird but i think its cool and futureistic or something.

So CCM life. The schedule is crazy. Theres no such thing as chill time except Pday. We also have so mcuh to study with very little time because of the languge and we have to have anew talk for sunday prepared every week (in spanish) because they pick people at random in sacrament to speak. One of my friends got it this sunday, but shes older (been here longer)

Guess what! We have an norte americano president so we DO celebrate Thanksgiving in the MTC :D so Happy Thanksgiving to you all, I know it wont be as good when I cant cook the turkey for you ;D

Okay, Im struggling a little with the language. I think Im prolly at the same level with almost everytone else in my district, cept my comp who is WAY avbove all of us and is fairly fluent, but it still frustrates me alot. Ill be okay though.

So about hald the MTC is latino and the other half is "norte americano". There are 3 dopplegangers here: a PERFECT Alison Fuller-Beckstead, a Jessi James, and a girl whos a mix of Amanda and Kaitlin Whipple. Idk where theyre from but i mostly only know the Jessi lookalike, Hna Jensen.

Oh.. GUESS WHAT. Yesterday I had my first ever.... wait for it..... earthquake. Yeah. I was in the third floor of the dorms too. It was a tiny one but the floor started shaking and everything started rattling and Hna Ransom was like "HERMANA WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET IN THE DOORWAY" cuz I was just standing in the middle of the room with a big smile on my face thinking "FIRST EARTHQUAKE EVER MY MOMS GONNA HATE ME THIS IS AWESOME"...
But yeah. I guess theyre not super common but its the only tim any of the girls here have had one. So it was fun.

Okay well I guess thats all I can think of to say for now, I brought a notebook with notes to remind me of what to talk about and thats all Ive got. I forgot my address book in our room so Ill do better next week.

K. I love you guys. Im supposed to be here 4realz. You guys are keeping me out here, even if youve never said anything, and I thank you for that. Kbai
