First Letter From PERU

Hola mi familia!

I am in Peru! we got to the ccm at about 1 am and then got to bed a little after 2, so i am so tired! I only had to move my clock forward two hours from my Utah time, so I guess Im only 3 hours ahead of you guys. We get to take a nap after lunch to try and lose the jet lag so im excited about that because we got up at 6:30 today like always.

Its wierd because im typing on a spanish keyboard so there are some differences that make it tough but i am glad they let us let you know that we arrived safely.

i dont konw a lot about my schedule so i will let you know my daily schedule as soon as i know it, but i do know that my P-day is on wednesday, so thats when i get to email again.

Guess what mom...elder torsak is my new companion so you have even more to talk about with his mom! she took tons of pictures yesterday so you should be getting some through email.

The sheet they gave us said don't send packages because it costs so much to have it go through customs' not that you can't, just its beeter to put money into the missionaries acoount and then let him buy what he needs. But for christmas i should be out in the field. i do think its best not to send me a package while i am in the mtc though.

la comida es muy interesante pero es comida! for breakfast we had french toast but they don't use syrup down here; i can only imagine how expensive it would be to get here! and then we had this juice that was made from cantelope that was kinda chunky so it was like eating it but it was liquid. im interested to see what is for lunch!

The facility here is really nice! like nicer than provo! its smaller tho, only 3 buildings and its surrounded by a huge wall; every building in Lima is surrounded by a gate and wire.And our rooms hold six but they reall arent bigger than the provo rooms, probably longer but then thinner so it eguals out. the beds area also on like 6 feet long which works fine for me but is a litle small for my companion!

I love all of you so much, and am thankful for the oppurtunity to serve the Lord. im ecstatic to be in Peru! even in the impoverished city it is beautiful, especially the weather; i can't wait to see what everything looks like outside the city! Thank you for everything you have done for me and all the letters. i feel your love as much as the savior's!

Your son, brother and grandson,
