the CCM (Peru's MTC) is fantastic the language is hard but I'm not giveing up. I wish you could see how beautiful Peru' is. there are flowers and birds that I have never seen before, the city is crazy with little building repair, and it is super scetchy at night (I know that from my ride from the airport, but besides that we are just now going to the temple so I'll get to see more then. the food is very diferent, but really good. Fresh weird friut and people. haha Well if you could send me some email adresses and tell, like tyler, and logan and stuff to email I would love you even more. Love you so verry much and I might wright a mass message later.
Love Elder Roos.
Then here's the one he sent this week (If you were wondering about the title it comes from this e-mail.)
Peru is going i to the winter months, so that just means that it isn't going to be hot, no extra rain or anything. The food is a lot, and I really do mean ALOTTTT!!!!!!!! of chicken, rice, potatos, and alot of odd spices. Some times they try to create USA food, but it never turns out quite right. They tried to make a toco one and it was a tortilla, with a slab of some kind of beef and mashed... something inside. You would think that evry one's stomaches would get use to the food but everyone is still haveing long and frequent visits to the restroom, including me. They don't really use any hot sause wich is sad, but there is this hot salad dressing stuff that I put on everything. I miss Milk, all they have here, and I mean peru not just the CCM (MTC) is powdered or canned. My classes are all in Español even the mission prep classes, which makes it kind of hard to understand. I feel like I have falling behind everyone else, but I am one of the only ones with on highschool spanish, or latin perents. The latin Elders, only stay here for two weeks so it was sad to see them go. I have two Companions, Elder Gorman and Elder Morison. all the gringos room with latain Elers, but gringos are comps with grengos
and another one
I had just alittle bit more time so, I will start with my Compramróes. Elder Gorman is a bigger blond Texan, he is also the DL wich we all agree he likes alittle too much. It was alittle hard to get along with him at first, but he is growing on me. Elder Morrison, the Elder that I was stuck in L.A. with is my other comp. (oh yeah Dean if you didn't know I arived to the CCM 3 days late, long story.) He is a black haired, 5'8" workout junky from Utah, he is a computer guy, wich is an undertatement. He created an Android phone App that has broken 40,000 downloads.
I have only had the chance to go prostleysing, it was in a very poor place where the people had next to nothing. Thay all lived in theese depresingly colorfull houses, that would be more corectly called shacks, with dusty roads covered in garbage, and stray dogs. we go out once every two weeks so I will have 2 more chances to go. when you go out, oyu are paired with a latin companion, so this means he talked and I boar my testimony a few times. It really is a diferent world, so around here you have the upper middle class, who live alot like most of the people in the USA do, the middle class who live in grungy aprtments, and the poverty level people who live in the humble shacks I was talking about. They are so poor, you whould not think theese places would be inhabitable, the doors are no mor than two bords stuck together, most houses don't have full roofs, and the are verry lucky if the have a concreet inside. I love Aerica!
The latain Elders stay in the CCM only for two weeks, but it is so easy to love them. we said goodby to them yesterday, and most of them told me that was the worlds single hapies person, and one elder condmed me with sucsess (his words). Well now I really do have to go so I love you all good bye!
Elder Roos
Hope you enjoyed it, if I have time in the incoming weeks, I'll correct spelling.
