I only have a half an hour to write so I'm sorry if this ends up being short. I will type as fast as I can. So the day I got here I was alright. I didn't cry that night or the night after that because I was so charged up by the meetings we had and all the initiatory stuff happening. But on Saturday night I was starting to realize there is a lot I need to do in only a week so I got a little overwhelmed. I prayed and prayed that I would feel better so I wouldn't be a mess and not do my best in class and when I studied. I've had so many wonderful experiences since that night. It seems like every meeting I've gone to and everyone I've talked to gives me some sort of comfort. Then I just had to deal with four blisters and a migraine. Trials come in many forms that’s for sure. It actually made me laugh that I'd get blisters before I'd even been here a week. They were from those cute shoes with heels I wore to my farewell. So I might be sending those to you at some point. I went to the temple this morning and after I prayed in the celestial room the Lord told me that I need to let myself go at my own pace with the language and not worry so much about understanding everything right now. He has helped me so much. I love how close I feel to Him here.
We are so busy all the time. We got to hear Elder Russell M. Nelson speak yesterday. It was so amazing! I felt so blessed to get to hear him speak because not all missionaries get to hear apostles speak while they are here. The food here is so yummy! I love my companeras. They are both so much like me I know that it was inspired. I feel that way about my whole district. There are so many amazing people I'm surrounded by.
I found out too that I will probably be staying here instead of going to the Peru MTC. A lot of missionaries who are going to the same mission have told us that they just found out they have to stay here because the MTC is so full over there.
