May 18th Update

Okayyy so your vacation sounded suuuper fun. but don't complain. I just got off a bus ride from the temple where there were at least 35 little peruvians and 8 significantly larger Elders packed into a bus the size of my bathroom back home. Super fun. But hilarious.


Even in Peru lately it's been really cloudy and (relatively) cold. The latinos were losing their minds cause they thought they were all gonna freeze to death or catch pneumonia from the 70 degree weather. Funny.
But sounds like a good trip. more hiking and stuff like that in powell would be fun every once in a while. Karen's backyard is gonna be a restaurant?? that sounds intense. And i would want to eat there. A lot. so that'll probably work out.


Also we are advised to tell our parents to not send packages here. it's really expensive and i have to spend all day going to get it from customs and weird stuff... i dunno why. but in two weeks when i leave it's easy again sooo just hold off on that. I can't believe i look skinnier. I eat. SO. MUCH. Granted it's usually like 90% rice but i eat like.. 4 pounds a day. Not making a dent? sad. Probably because i (and all the gringos) am sick. all the time. not sick enough to really matter. but sick.


But hey i play soccer everyday and Elder Loveless taught me how to do a backflip. And by taught me i mean yelled at me till i got the nerve to do it. but yeah. now i'm one of those cool guys that do backflips when they score a goal.


what else.... umm my new companion is elder weber. he's nice... but. He's kind of my kryptonite. And by that I mean he keeps putting things on my bed. It's DESTROYING me. Like his wet towel after he showers. or his sweaty gym clothes when we change... I beg him like everyday to just use his own or his closet or something. he will not. Then one day he started clipping his toenails whilest sitting on my bed and i drew a line. So I think now he understands my concern and will no longer defile my sanctuary. really though. it was messed. que mas.... 


so i bought like 15-20 dollars worth of candy today. hope thats chill. Ha really though it was super necesary. you can only have one plate of food here. and while it's massive it's not really filling the gap that Chic-fil-a/cereal has left in my heart(stomach). So theres that.


 Did you see those pictures i sent of our tour in Lima? cause that's where we were when we went through that museum. you were there. it was weird and de-ja-vuy.  I'm gonna wind down now. Crazy that logan is married. Keep doing good things and having fun with all your misadventures. cause they keep me amused. hey I finished Jesus the Christ last week (random). Super good. you should read it (chirsty/everyone who reads this). Love you all keep the prayers up.
