Peru MTC, Lima, Week One

Hi, everyone! This first week was pretty crazy here in Peru, still can´t believe I'm in South America! Today was my first p-day here (every Wed.) we went to the temple (it was all in spanish) so that was crazy. They don't take us here, we walk out the front entrance of the MTC (or CCM they call it) and hop on a bus. I felt like I  was in a movie, they drive so crazy here.  Our bus was cutting people off and all sorts of stuff.  The Lima Temple is beautiful!   After that, we walked  thru the city a little bit to get to a store, they give us an hour and a half to shop every week after the temple.   It was weird being on the streets of Lima.   When I was in line at the store (which are similar to what we have back in Utah) I bought some Inca Kola, which is just basically cream soda,  the checker said something to me, but they speak so fast I can´t understand,  so I  just said "si".   Then we had to find another bus to get onto to get back-- here everybody takes  the bus--and they have the bus driver then someone that gets out and yells at every stop for people to get on, and there is a ton of buses.   It's  like they fight for people.   One lady was yelling "mormoneys" at us.   I  guess that's what members are known as down here... Oh yeah,  it's always overcast down here and it looks like it´s going to rain but it never does.   It was only sunny for the first few hours I've been here then it´s been overcast since. It's a little humid too.   All  my papers and things got warped a little bit.   It gets pretty warm at night but apparently South Americans get cold EXTREMELY easy so every time I go to turn the A/C on they get upset.   I  guess I´ll have to get use to it, so pretty much I'm sweating and they´re freezing.   I'd say it's about 70 degrees here right now or so.  We've been practicing teaching every single day and it's really hard because all of the teachers speak little or no English so that doesn't help when I don't know what to say.  It doesn't make me feel very smart because they're just staring at me while I'm trying to figure out what to say. It's a little frustrating honestly, but I guess I've only been speaking  Spanish for a month now so, it'll come. All the verb conjugations are hard to remember when speaking, but I'm working on it every day.   For  us "North Americans" as they call us,  we mostly study spanish so I'd say about 20% gospel and 80%  Spanish as far as what we study.   We eat chicken and rice for every lunch and dinner in different variations;  most of the time it's good, sometime not so much.   I  had to lay off the juice *caugh caugh*.   I´ll be here for 5 more weeks, then I'm off to Cusco.  Elder Nash from the Seventy was here, and since there is only about a 100 missionaries here, he taught our preisthood meeting.   It was really cool.   That night we had a fireside (oh ya he´s been the area authority in this part of south america) and he shook everyones hand.   When it was my turn he shook my hand and asked me where I was going and I said, Cusco.   Then he said "how did you score that mission Elder?" then he stared into my eyes for like 5 seconds, like he could see everything about me, I  felt like,  then he said  " the lord has a lot of confidence in you" so that was awesome.   Sorry I couldn't respond to everything,  I only got a a few sceonds left on my email time. Love you guys!!!!!
