I still can't believe I'm in a different country! The MTC here is great. They actually call it the CCM here. I have another awesome companion Elder Malara. He is from Lima, and he doesn't speak english. We are being forced to learn spanish so much faster because our companions don't speak it. Sometimes it is kind of hard, but it is still awesome. We have probably taught 5 lessons in Spanish already. In the provo MTC you wait until you are 6 weeks in before you teach in spanish, and they are already having us do it in the first week. This is great! My spanish is improving so much faster because everyone just speaks spanish. One of my teachers doesn't even know English. Ha ha it cracks me up. We are actually going to go out and prosylite all day on Saturday! I'm a little nervous, but it is going to be great. The work has literally begun. I am going to be out knocking doors and making contacts on saturday. It is crazy. I love it, and I'm so happy I am out serving a mission.
Now for the food. We eat massive amounts of rice at every meal except for breakfast. I´m not going to lie I went in with the attitude that I would try everything, and I actually love rice now, and I have been pounding the vegetables! I have never eaten so healthy in my life. I love when they have cake once in a while though. You know me, I love the junk food! Every meal has chicken or beef, rice, potatoes, and bread. I really don´t mind it at all. I´m sure we're going to be eating a lot less when we get into the field though.
Fútbol is amazing. I have no problem at all playing with these guys. It is a blast though because they are all good. It is just great to play competitive soccer. My favorite was when my companion kicked a corner and I headed it in for a goal. I think I scored like 4 goals that game, so I am definitely enjoying the soccer. It is definitely something we look forward to every day.
I'm actually in the same district as Elder Perkes from Tooele. It is great because we are good friends. Every night I am out cold right at 1030, I have no problem sleeping at all. I just love the people down here already. They are all so friendly, and willing to help whenever. It is great, and they are already becoming such great friends. It is too bad they are only going to be here for 3 weeks.
We went to the Lima Temple today, and it was great. I love going to the temple, and just sitting there and soaking in the spirit and the peace that they have. It is just like any other temple on the inside. We went through a session. They had us do it in English though. Which is good because though the spanish is coming along sometimes people talk so fast it is way hard to understand.
Well I'm going to get some e-mails I would like you to forward to, but I don't have them at the moment so it is going to be a week. I hope everything is going well at the house in Provo. I miss you guys. I just want you to know that I am so happy I have this opportunity to serve the Lord on a mission. I know this church is true, and I am so glad we get to share that with other people. I really love you guys, and I look forward to when the mail comes and I get to hear more. I love that Idea though. Love you guys!!
Elder Lee
