Hola familia y amigos!!
Well hello there everyone, looks like another week down! That means
I´ve been gone for about 3 weeks now! Crazy! To me it seems like so
much longer though! I hope you are all doing well and I pray for you
every day! So due to popular request I have decided to tell you about an
average day here at the CCM. I wake up around 6:30,
sometimes earlier if I´m feelin ambitious. Get ready, have breakfast
and then go to class. We spend about 16 hours a day in the classroom
doing studies for language and about the gospel. I thought I couldn´t
handle doing long days without a nap, but turns out it´s actually pretty
easy and I feel a lot more productive than when I take naps. We also
have an hour for exercise which is like my highlite of the day. One of
the other Hermanas and I are getting pretty ripped.. ok just kidding,
we´re trying to keep off the weight because we eat SO much here! Like
I´ve said the food is awesome and it´s really hard not to eat a lot of
the time.
Funny story.. my companion and I like to do our personal study
outside on days when it´s sunny, which has been about 3 or 4 days this
last week, AWESOME! So we were outside last week and studying and my
legs decided to get super sunburnt, along with my arms. I´m already
officially a sister missionary with the skirt tan and the watch tan.
Haha and my companion is whiter than me and didn´t get burnt.. not even
fair!
I don´t have many good stories from this week, the days blur
together for me and I forget what we do on different days, and most of
it is just language study so not much fun stuff to tell. My apologies!
The Spanish is coming along, sometimes when I write in my journal at
night I accidently write some words in Spanish, but that´s definitely a
good thing! Every time I go out on the street on P day though I realize
that it is going to be soooo much harder in the field. Today we went to a
different part of the city and it was really interesting, there are so
many little shops and things are mostly really cheap here. 1 nuevo sol
is about 2.75 in american dollars so the prices are decent. I found Dr.
Pepper today at Metro (a grocery store) and I had to buy some. No rule
against not drinking caffeinated soda, that makes one happy Hermana!
Haha.
I wish I had more to say today but honestly it´s been such an
uneventful week. The only exciting news I have is that we get to go
proselyting for a few hours this Saturday.
We will go with a teacher because we obviously aren´t fluent yet, but I
am super excited to get out there and talk to some people. Peruvians
are really friendly from what I´ve noticed which makes me really excited
to be out in the field. I am also nervous though because I realize that
once I leave the CCM I won´t have all the blessings I do here.
Seriously the food here is prime, the beds are nice and a lot of other
things that I know I am so lucky to have here. On the bright side I am
finally getting better! The cough is going away and I´m starting to feel
like I can get a lot more done during the day!
I love getting emails from you all, I take pictures and read them
later and do my best to respond to all of them, so please keep em
coming! It´s so wonderful to hear from home and know what´s going on in
the lives of my friends and family! Sorry for the extremely short
email!! I´ll do my best to find some interesting things to write about
next week!
Love you all!
Hermana Imbler
