Into the jungle . . .
Ohhhhhhhhh that's right I never really told you all about my experience with the country in general. Easily fixed. Also the favorite conversations section has been modified to include moments as well now.
Also Here is the link to the updated mission photos album:

I will be adding to it in the next lil bit
SANTO DOMINGO, TRUJILLO
- It's a crazy jungle here... and by jungle, I mean concrete jungle. Buildings are all stacked on top of each other here and the only areas that aren't covered in concrete are those places specifically designated to be small parks.
- After I arrived in Trujillo, I didn't see the sun for three days. It's currently and continually exceptionally cloudy.
- You say hi to everyone you pass by on the street even if you're not a missionary (wow)
- What's a basement?
- Every Building has spikes on the tops of the walls. EXCEPT the elementary schools... those have large shards of crushed glass instead!
- There's a 101 dogs in the streets. The only dogs that are mean are the ones that stay inside or on a rope all day. HMMMMMMM
- Any kind of packaged food here is only ever sold in personal-sized packages.
- Haven't seen a single mosquito, and the flies are only around the trash piles and fish.
- Why use trash bins when you can just throw trash in piles on the sides of the street to be burned at night?
Thoughts From This week
- My comp is awesome and so is his Spanish. I'm so grateful that he's able to step in and help whenever my Spanish is failing. Also I have to say that when you testify together and build on each other during the lesson it is so much stronger. We are put into companionships for a reason!
- Even though their Spanish is a bit harder to understand much of the time, older folks are some of the wisest, most interesting, and loving people around. I was so sad when a man(Jose Delgado) that I met and sang a bit of a hymn with on the street, happened to live in a different area so we had to send his contact to other missionaries to visit him.

Favorite Conversations (and Moments)
-
Me: What is your favorite food here in Peru?
Elder Cristeche: .... Big Mac
-
(as we were walking down the street we see this girl shouting up to her brother. He throws a couple different items to her in the street several floors below, and her shorts get stuck in the power line)
-
(just an older gentleman sweeping a small patch of dirt)
