1 week in Peru

The weather down here in peru is freakin awesome! i am so happy to be out of the cold. i couldn't handle all that snow, and i wouldn´t know what to do with crx. so this week has been crazy! it started off super slow and getting to know our companions and trying to understand what they were saying. so we finally can understand a lot of what our companions say because they talk to us like we are three year olds, but still we understand and that is cool.
So we play futbol all the time and it is fun, but until today i have been getting worked and for some reason i always end up playing goalie. Who knew that was my go to position, if our team is just getting worked and i think that i can do better than just wait for the ball to come to forward. So on Monday my companion... elder casanova... (we had this work out teacher and he was making us run a ton and it was horrible cause as we all know i hate running without a reason!! it is one of my least favorite things).. so continuing with my story, he was jumping over the benches that were laid down so we could hurdle them and he jumped and landed on the backrest and sprained his ankle terribly and went to the hospital and he has been on crutches since. so that was interesting.
Today being p day we went to the temple and i got to escort elder casanova through and that was an experience cause i had to explain things in spanish and i think i did pretty solid but it was no walk in the park.
People drive crazier here then they did in saó paulo. it is scary they are always on the sidewalks and cuttin people off; it is not super fun to be on the road.
We do not get to call from here on christmas which is super ucky but their is a chance that we could all be in the field by then because this place is full, and they will send the more experienced people out when they need us, so that is pretty crazy also.
I dont know what i need for christmas unless they have something that could make drinks cold instantly cause they dont believe in cold drinks here. They have this ridiculous theory that cold drinks make them sick and it is just simply angering me. anyway i went and got a week supply of diet coke. They said not to send packages while in this mtc because it is super expensive to get them. i dont know how true that is but you can try if you really want to.

Love mucho your favorite Elder chevere Farr
