Well everybody, President finally got fed up with me and decided to send me away to San Diego. Not even home to Logan...just to San Diego.
aren'tyougladit'snotalcatraz?
My favorite thing ever is to show people the photo I have in my scriptures of the San Diego temple and say LOOK! This is where I'm going to get married! In San Diego!
And then they start racking their brains to remember where in this Lima suburb they have seen such a building.
Yeah so San Diego is part of the Zona Prolima. Literally next door neighbors with Los Olivos. Also literally the LAST ZONE I EVER WANTED TO GO TO. I have made jokes about it my entire mission. "Hehehe just as long as they don't send me to Prolima!"
So everybody got a real good laugh when my picture showed up there in transfers. Good stuff.
My companion is a riot! Hermana Kim. My second companion from México! But she's from Merida, which is in the south. She said it's by Cancun... pretty sure we are going to have a companionship reunion at HER house.
HOLY COW our zone leader just said we only have ten minutes...sohohooo I will tell you all the details later. Ah man I am frustrated now! It's alright.
Anyway so we have EIGHT missionaries in our ward! Our zone leaders (Elder McAllister and Elder Quenta), our district leader (Elder Hernandez and his comp, Elder Poma), us two sisters, and Elder Payne, who is training Elder Gillies (AKA the guy who sings "Joy of Life" from the 2013 EFY album. He is so funny. Still working on the whole missionary distance thing, but he'll get there). There are 5 brand spanking new missionaries in our zone! And there is not a single missionary in my zone with whom I have shared a zone during my whole mission. So I have felt a little homesick from time to time, but then again I am so excited to have all these new friends!

Alright so Hermana Kim speaks pretty good English, and she also likes to hashtag everything. Here are our hashtags of the week:
#jewifiable (Malea Moody will know why this is funny...)
#gringa (a taxi drove by and simply said "gringa" into his speakerphone)
#fatricia (to keep us from eating too much)
#storytime (companionship inventory)
#corazonserrano (the most popular and annoying musical artist in Perú)
Also, we had the worst night ever on Saturday. There was a crazy dance party going on ACROSS THE STREET from ONE in the morning to EIGHT in the morning. We slept very little. And the three times I did fall asleep, I had nightmares about Hannibal Lecter. Also we both got food poisoning. So that's fun.
Also, Hermana Do Santos is now senior companion in Pro! YAY.
I wish I had more time to write but unfortunately it escapes me. I love you all! I'll update you more and send the tons of photos I had prepared next week!
