This week our Pday was changed to tuesday because we are going to Central Lima today! But last week we went to the big mall Plaza Norte as a Zone and ate at Chiles! it was great. The mall was almost exactly like the states and even had an H&M!
On Wednesday we had service! and for our service project we painted the living room walls of a less active. It was actually a lot of fun and I always love big service projects like that. Before the service project, my district made me and this other new elder to try Tocosh. Look it up cant I cant explain it but its basically a drink smoothie thing that is made from rotten potatoes. It was so gross but its all part of the experience. haha Oh and on Sunday I tried Molleja which is the red flappy part on the neck of the chicken grilled. again super wierd, but different. They eat literally the entire chicken but the bones. even the feet. lets just say I am still getting used to the food here. and the amount they give you... which I found out it is rude to not eat everything, so I always try.
On thursday we had interviews with the new Mission President, President Godfrey. He is amazing and I am excited to see what happens in the future. He served his mission in Venezuala and understands us and was really helpful. We also had clean checks which our apartment was dirty when I got there and didnt even relize it could get so clean! I forgot to take a pic, so I will this week.
My spanish is getting better but i wish I was picking it up faster than I am, but this week I relized that I need to set better goals for my self and figure out how to take everything one step at a time. There is so much I have to learn, but first I need to learn how to organize everything so I can learn it. It can be frustrating when I cant understand people when it is important but my companion is amazing and patient with me.
I am learning so much and the holy ghost is amazing. Heavenly Father anwsers prayers in amazing ways. Satan knows exactly how to tempt you and push your buttons, but heavenly father is stronger. Hold to the rod and he will guide you on the right path! I love the people here so much and I love the gospel! I know the church is true! Thank you for all your love and support!
I love you all!
Love Hna Smoot
