Hi Mom,
The packages were great! I am sooo appreciative for all the snacks you guys gave me! So i get to Atlanta at 3:25 pm and leave at 5:15 pm so sometime in there i will be calling you guys.

This is my new address for Peru, put it up on fb and blog and stuff k? I am planning on sending the watch home early next week, just got to find something to send it in. I  did go through all the pockets of the new backpack, it was like a treasure hunt/christmas lol. I am sooo sorry to hear about your stressful job mom, Iknow you really like it and stuff, but dont overwork yourself... dont mean to sound like dr. phil or anything, but family comes first,,, just remember lol. Wow mom that is soooo sweet that you are bearing your testimony to employees, that is all missionary work is mom, just keep at it, you are a good example to me! Gosh i am soooo excited to travel to Peru. The farthest i have ever flown has been to SLC so this will be a big change for me. I ended up buying english scriptures so dont fret about it...

         So the daily schedule. I wake up at 6:20 every morning because if you wake up at 6:30 you have to wait for a shower, then i go to class at 7:15 and have personal study until breakfast at 8:15. Then after breakfast it is back to the classroom from 9 to 1 and we usually either have a teacher or just like study time. At 1 we have lunch and then after have gym, usually we play basketball and i have gotten to know a lot of really cool missionaries from gym, its one of my favorite parts of the day. After gym we go shower again and then head back to class around 3:15 and we have more study time. At 6 we go to dinner and usually all the mtc food is pretty gross, but you gotta do what you gotta do, probably wont be any worse than what i will be eating at Ecuador. At 6:45 we have a teacher until 9 where we usually learn a  new concept to spanish or just role play and learn more about teaching the gospel!!! At 9 o'clock we have companionship planning, where we go over our goals for that day and how well we did,  or what we need to work on, and then we set more goals and plan our next day. THEN we go to the residence hall and change into bball shorts and just talk with other people in our building usually, at 10:15 we write in our journals and its lights out by 10:30

PDAy is a little different. Me and my companion wake up at 615 and go and do our laundry. while our laundry is going we have personal study, after the laundry is done at about 8 we go to the temple for breakfast (its our weekly treat) and have a small feast, then we come back and have companion study and then get ready to go do an endownment session. We meet up with our district and then go up to the temple. After that we go to lunch, and then from 1-6 we have personal time where we can email, write, or just kinda do whatever, we usually just write letters and chill in our room, except for when we go email, and then we go in the laundry room. At 6pm we have dinner and then at 6:45 we have classroom with Hermano Barrios. He is awesome, he is from Chile.. then we have daily planning at 9 and sooo on! so ya thats the day in the life for me right now, i am constantly busy and constantly have something to do its pretty sweet! alright i will talk to you guys later, love you and miss you

Love
