Cajamarca and lots of pictures!

Well, my last week at the CCM was great! On Sunday, Elder Mortensen, Hermana Webster, Hermana Moeaki and I spoke in church and that was good. Hermana Webster introduced herself as me so that was funny. 

Monday we packed and watched 17 miracles. I didnt sleep much cuz Hermanas Webster, Johnson and Allen got up at 4 to leave to Cuzco. It was super sad saying goodbye to Hermana Webster, I'm going to miss her a ton.

Tuesday our Trujillo North group went to the temple, then said goodbye to the Moores and went to the airport. President and Sis. Marble (of Trujillo North), the assistants, and the office elders were there to welcome us with a flag and a sign so that was cool! We stayed the night at the mission home and that was a lot of fun. The Marbles are super cool!  

Wednesday we found out who are trainers would be and where we 'd be going. I'm with Hermana Delgado from Ecuador (who just finished being trained....) and I am in the  Aeropuerto 3 area of the Cajamarca stake! I said goodbye to my friends and we got on the bus to Cajamarca. It was 6.5 hours cuz  its clear up in the mountains. They showed Bedtime Stories so I watched that. The zone leaders met us at the bus station and then we went to drop our stuff off at the apartment and went to meet our pensionistas. Hna Laura is our pension for breakfast and she just lives upstairs. Hna Kathy is for breakfast and dinner and is a few blocks away. They're both super nice!

Thursday - my first real day...We had district meeting and that was fun to meet my zone and district. Then for the rest of the day we had lessons with members, investigators, and less actives, and did a lot of walking....

Friday - 3 days a week whoever wants to meets at the church to play soccer for exercise time. That was fun, then I had my first weekly planning. For lunch, I don't know what we had, but my insides will be purple for weeks. The chicken/veggie mixture was purple, the drink was purple, and the pudding was purple. Later in the day I extended my first baptismal invitation and she said yes! We'll see what happens with that.                                    

Saturday - there's a little town called Otuzco in our area that we go to like once a week.  We took a super crowded bus out there and had one lesson. I don't have pictures, so you can look it up. Then we just tried to find people and had a few lessons.  
    
Sunday - My first Sunday was good, I met a lot of people. The zone leaders and the sister training leaders are in our ward so that's fun. I had no idea what was going on in ward council, and it was super long. We had some lessons with members later, and ate lunch with the sister leaders pension and ate at the bishop's house at night. 

Peru is kinda crazy, especially the drivers. Taking the motos is fun, but they are crazy drivers! This is super hard, but last night I was looking at the quotes Aunt Des sent me, and there's one that's by Elder Eyring that says 'if you're on the right path it will always be uphill'. I know it will get better, I just have to be patient. I love you all so much, have an amazing week!!!
