Bienvenido a esto email!
As time goes by I feel
that my Spanish is improving. Although I
have made but a small dent in the window of the language barrier, I have
learned to become a really good listener. If I do not listen to every word said then I
am lost. In a typical sentence, I can
pick up some of the key words and put them together to gather an idea of what
the topic of the discussion is.
Also this week me and Elder
Garth Hunt (who is currently serving his mission in Mexico) were successfully
able to email each other in complete Spanish. I am thankful for him and for all of those
that are supporting us.
It is getting hotter here
in Camana, I’m not sure exactly what the temperature is but it is HOT. Every day is a short sleeve kind of
day.
I have come to learn
that summer in Peru can be described into 4 words- attack of the mosquitos. Today I was able to count 20 bites on my legs
:) But there is another Hermana in my
district from California and she counted 37 mosquito bites today! She said her blood must taste like dulce (or candy). I would say my blood tastes like chicken and
that is why she has almost double the amount of bites that I have. Chicken is the main delicacy here in Peru. Literally every other day we eat chicken. Yesterday I dodged a bullet- when my
pentionista asked if I wanted to eat the foot or the leg of the chicken for
lunch…..You already know I replied with the leg. However I feel that next time I should try the
chicken foot.
You know the saying….
when in Peru do as Peruvians do.
Nos Vemos Entonces!
