Week 4 - Earthquake!

Hello everyone!  I'm back.  again not much happened this week.

The biggest thing that happened this week is we had an earthquake! it was pretty cool actually!  it was a 5.8.  When it first started i thought there was a party going on over at the church with a really loud base.  Then it just kept getting louder and i thought there is no way this is a speaker then things started to shake.  Nothing happened really.  everything and everyone was ok and most importantly my Inka Kola! 

On another note, when we tell people about our mission (Cusco), they always say Machu Pichu, Bonita, or Quechuan.  I don't know how to spell it but Quechuan is a tribal language they speak throughout Peru.  They said about 60% of the people in the smaller villages will speak that language so i might be learning some of that!  I also got a Book of Mormon with that language today and not all the books are there, and it's super hard to read..

My new Latino roomates are really annoying. they stay up till like 11:30 studying or something and get up at 5 and turn on the lights.  they also keep turning off the air conditioning.. They feel like they own the place!! 

So one of these nights me and my companion took some pretty cool pictures with my camera. i love going through the camera and seeing what more it can do!

I still play soccer everyday even though Latinos don't have the same time as us.  Sometimes it's just me and my companion passing the ball.  but it's still fun.

Not a whole lot more has happened here. still the same.  Cada dia todavia.  Our teacher also taught us some slang Spanish.  they are kind of like Spanish puns. except one of them only Peruvians know i heard..  But it's still cool!

That’s about it for this last week!  hopefully more happens this week!
