Hello everybody! Well things are improving this week for sure. We are starting to get some people that actually want to listen to us! HAHA but yeah its going good. Nothing too crazyor out of the ordinary happened this week. We went on exchanges for half the week because my comp had to go to a meeting on the other side of lima for a few days. So i got to hang out with the Zone leader for a while. It was nice to have a change of scenery.
The housing situation here is like the opposite as in the united states. There are a bunch of hills that surround Lima and the closer you are to the city the nicer the houses. The further up into the hills you get the more poor the housing. Some of them are litereally four sticks and a tarp over top and nothing else. Its unbelievable what people live in and deal with here. The weather is finally warming up. It is actually bordering hot. I cant believe that its almost december. To me it still feels like august. This whole southern hemisphere thing is messing with my mind haha.
Im not sure if thanksgiving was this last thursday or this coming but my comp and i celebrated it last thursday. We bought hamburgers and ate them. And that was it. We had a busy day so didnt have time to do much else. I miss the loads of pumpkin pie and delicous foods at home. But from what i hear ill be eating good at christmas here. Though maybe a little strangely as well. I have newarly eaten every part of a chicken now and i can add beaf heart to the list this week. It was actually pretty good!
Exchanges were this last week. Since training lasts 2 changes im staying as well as my companion. So we will get to be here for chirstmas. The language is improving little by little. Sometimes i find myself speaking without thinking but rarely. It is improving though and im learning alot faster out here in the field then i did in the MTC.
I cant believe how cold it is back home tahts crazy that is down to single digits. I cant even comprehend that right now. Its getting hotter and hotter here every day. I have been enjoying good health ever since i arrived. I owe that to spending all summer and all the time in the MTC being sick i think. Blessings in disguise. Yeah not too much new to report on this week but im sure ill have some more crazy stories next week. Feel free to write at any time Love Elder Hesselgesser
