FIRST! Before I say anything, I have to answer your question, because I think you have asked more than once, haha, : Yes, you can send stuff to the mission home in chiclayo, thats where everything goes, and then they send it to our respective zone leaders to give to us, not just every transfers but during too. So dont worry, I dont have another address here. No se preocupe :)
Secondly....wow, you parents of mine sound like you have had some amazing adventures. Travelling overseas will do that to ya right? I learned that at a young age. haha. But I loved hearing about your trip. The Vatican? The Pope?! Golden. Its surprising how much I´ve learned about the pope and the Catholic religion here in Peru, really quite interesting at times. History can be riveting at times, as im sure you guys know. I have gained a greater appreciation for cultural history here in peru because there is SO much, about the Incas, the native ancient inhabitants. but anyways, my point is......History is cool. And you guys saw tons these past few weeks haha.
Toilet seats? what are those? lol, I havent used one of those in a long time. Bathrooms really depend here, from not having one, to a hole in the ground, or to some actually pretty nice bathrooms. But they all do the job right? :)
Smoking here in peru?...I have actually noticed that there really isnt that much, thankfully. Its not a problem we run into a whole lot. More with drinking, now that is a different story.
Oh yeah, And you guys saw singing in the rain? I believe I have seen that movie about a million times, and almost every one of those times was in our van in korea. good times. Well, mom and dad, I guess you guys listened to that movie a million times instead haha.
Things are going great here. Elder Davila left early this morning, so I have been with the zone leaders who are awesome. A bunch of us are travelling to chiclayo tonight for transfers tomorrow, I have been assigned to train a new elder this next transfer so we will see how that goes!
I love you all! Safe trip mom and dad!
