Hola Familia!
Hope you didn´t freak out too much this
morning when I didn´t write...or maybe you forgot that I exist. Anyway, the
reason I didn't write this morning is because I am currently in Lima doing my Immigration
stuff! I only have a few minutes to write so hopefully they’ll let me use a
computer again this week because I have a ton to say about my investigators!
I got in Lima last night and it was
such a culture shock after a month in the Jungle. Last night, for the first
time in a month, I took a warm shower, slept with a blanket, brushed my teeth
in the sink (we have to filter the water normally), rode in a car, sat in an
air conditioned building, etc. It was great!
The best part of this trip is that when
I walked into the Immigration offices I saw another white girl...HERMANA
PRICE!!!!!!! We hugged and laughed and talked and talked and talked. We talked
for hours without a single break like old friends that hadn't seen each other
in years. We had to laugh when we realized that in reality we only knew each
other for 2 weeks before, and have only had 6 weeks apart since then. It's
okay, I'm convinced we hung out in the premortal life. But really we've had a
ton of fun today and we'll be together here in Lima until Wednesday night
because we have a conference here.
Tomorrow I will proselyte in Lima and
it should be a fun, different experience.
I'll have to give more details when I
have time, but just know that I'm doing great and this week, in a way I cannot
describe, the people completely won my heart and I know I'm going to make this
place my home for the next little while.
LOVE YOU!!
Hermana Simonson
