Mi familia!!
 
Holy!  This last week went by sooo fast! 2 semanas down and it really didn’t feel that long. It seems
to me like now that I’ve left, things are really starting to move.  I can already start feeling the English leaving my mind and I am having a hard time writing what I want to say. haha  Sorry!  It seems to me like I'm loved so much more now than before I left! haha  So many emails! I’m just kidding, love you guys.  I was
thinking back to before I left and realized that I may have forgotten to make my bed...soooo sorry mom.

I love Peru though! This is such an amazing place and experience and I wouldn’t change it. The Peruvians all call me Latino! haha  I think it is so funny and they all love me so much.  It’s been making all the white people here way jealous!  My comps are all good and they are super chill! I love my district! It is awesome! One of my friends from school is in the CCM right now and it’s super cool  to have him here.  His name is Kellan Bumstead. I get to chill with him a little.  He leaves for the Lima West Mission next week.  Elder Bates is also one of my new good friends. He’s not in my district but he is a track guy.  He throws jav and has the state record.  He is doing track at BYU when he get’s back. His brother went to the same mission as Parker and at the same time so maybe he knows him or saw him at zone conferences or something.
       
This week was pretty much the same as last week. Really not much happened.  We got to go to the temple last week after I emailed so that was cool.  It’s a really nice temple but small.  It’s about the same size as
our church. Haha The Spanish is coming along super good and I've been learning so many things! We got to go to interpol on Monday to do some stuff for our visa’s. It was just nice to get out of the walls of the CCM. 
On our way to interpol we saw some guy get pegged by a car.  It was nuts! The driving here is crazy! haha  I said this before but sometimes it feels like we are in a prison.  My district got so bored one day that we made a similarities and differences list between here and prison.  It was too funny! I sent you the pic. haha.
         
I lost another 2 pounds this week but it’s started to slow down a little. I workout every morning and night and the jump rope was easily the best thing I brought haha. I love you guys so much and miss everyone back home!  It seems like it’s been really quiet at home but sounds like everyone has been keeping busy which is a good thing! Remember, Andrew, you better not touch my stuff or I’ll come after you when I get back haha. Love ya bro. I’ll see you guys soon!
