Ok so ya my pday is on wednesday just fyi, but the email server was down
until today so thats why there is an email today! so its brief but here is
what ill tell you! this place is so different. So on wednesday we got to go
out and see the city and go to the temple. It was a crazy experience
getting there. So you step out of this mtc prision and right outside you
try to catch a cambi. Something like that! so this cambi is like a mini bus
its the weirdest thing in the whole world! it should only fit like 25
people but they fit on like 50. So ya i was the last one to step on and
before i even got on fully the bus took off! It should really be like a
roller coaster ride. So ya we made it to the temple and enjoyed our time
there. Peruvians are never in any sort of rush it seems. Our endowment
session took like 3 hours and there were like 20 people there. Its so
different. Next we went accross the street to a LDS peru store! it was
sweet you can buy like peru scriputre cases and all that fun stuff. After
this we went to a market called tottus. Its just like right by the temple
and who knew itd be like a mini walmart! They had everything there except
Good american candy. They had a little bag of snicker candy bars for 23
soles so like 10 dollars. I could buy that at walmart for maybe 2.50! So ya
i guess im going to have to get use to this peruvian candy stuff!! But ya
that was basically our pday. It was weird getting out of this compound! we
really are locked up in here its sad. And ive maybe seen the sun 2 times
while ive been here. I wonder if i am even in the same world! Anyways other
than that there is not much going on here just a lot of spanish and getting
use to it! i didn}t expect it to be this hard but its been super tough! i
havent heard from anyone in my ten days here. Its hard i am not a huge fan
of that! im excited for general conference tomorrow! and hope to recieve
personal revelation and answers to my prayers. I am grateful that we have
modern day prophets who speak to us this day! its a wonderful blessing and
i hope you all watch each of the sessions! Hope all is going well at home!
I am excited to recieve some letters if that is even possible down here! My
mail got sent out tuesday down here so expect some soon! i love you all and
keep me posted on what life is like in the best country in the world! and
ill keep you updated on peru! Thanks for your support!!
love,
Elder Brockbank
