September 3rd Letter

ha-ha HOLA!! I think I finally have this email thing down! Ok first off my face isn’t as good; it’s getting a little adjusted but about the same. Second my hair has literally never been better!! Ha-ha seriously though, I probably am having the best hair days I’ve ever had in my life. It’s pretty funny. Third you can correct my emails but be sure to keep the original. I want so see how my spelling improves. Your letters are so great and have so much information. I love it. But maybe you could include all the questions in the front so I can just answer them all at once ;) ha-ha! Make it easier. Ok so my turn for questions, can you send me a picture of the family It would just be nice to have one on hand to look at occasionally.

This is how my week went. Last week was a little harder so I fasted and prayed for it to be better and for a little more sleep :) and god answered my prays. Sort of ha-ha I spent Wednesday through- Friday sick in bed but I’m fine now :) just a little stomach thing; also I scraped my armpits with my deodorant again ha-ha same old Jed :) ok so I got a blessing and after I was done feeling better this is how the rest of the week went. So, going to the store they have an amazing bakery but they have no bread with holes ha-ha seriously though, no doughnuts, no bagels, nothing it’s impossible to find anything anywhere, but I was so sick of breakfast I caved and bought a thing of cereal (enclosed in my picture of American food :) can you believe its already been 20 days!! Anyway so we listened to a talk by Elder Bednar the other day about just forgetting your troubles, family, and friends and be more like Christ and move on, which was kind of something I had been fasting for. He also shared something really funny in Russia "Come, Come Ye Saints… all is well, all is well, directly translated is "not so bad could be worse" ha-ha. So life always gets better. So I figured it up and I’m 1/36 of the way done with my mission. Two years is going to be a breeze :) so since I got in the CCM we’ve been reading the Book of Mormon and by the time you get this well I’ll be done! With the English one but I’ll be totally done with the whole thing :) So we had fast and testimony meeting and these girls got up and were crying cause well the entire CCM has been sick with a sort of flu and she got up and started crying cause she has been sick and at home her mom would pamper her. She’d watch chick flicks and eat ice cream. Ha-ha couldn’t help but think of home. So we got some new Latinos in our room! Love them! Seriously though, they can sing and know Akuna Mata! Great song and smurfs is "pitufos" in Spanish Oh and they think I look like Shaggy from Scooby Do, but yeah I taught them English and stuff. They teach me Spanish. It’s great. One Hermana was singing the Henry the 8th song and I started laughing and sang along and she flips out because no one down here knows that! Alright, so the food here gets old really quick ;) rice, chicken... I think... and some form of sauce and the fruits are good but same 2 fruits every day, anyway, so I picked up some cereal that should help my mornings. Oh and we were talking about our favorite fast food the other day, what I wouldn’t give for some chicken nuggets, a taco, or a burger. anyway love you all!

Nothing’s going to stop us now!! Tanpechewa KAMA WAWA (hausta lavista baby in quecha the native peru langauage :) love you

mom, I was having a really hard week with, “Is my belief in the gospel strong enough to last me two years, I don’t know Satan was working on me, than I read the following alma 56:48 " we do not doubt our mothers knew it" I love you so much and so you know I have never doubted my testimony in the gospel because you raised me and your testimony I only hope I can be as good of a teacher to the people of Peru love you so much! :)
