June 8th - First week in "the field"

Hey mom,

I'm in Surco. I think it's closest to the border of the Lima South mission. Things are going alright. Our pensionista, Roxanna, is pretty cool. She makes really awesome food. Usually I feel like I'm going to puke on the table because there is so much, but then we have to walk somewhere and it settles down. My spanish is getting there, I can understand quite a bit, but they talk so fast it takes me a minute to catch up. It's frustrating because I'm really slow in responding. 

There are tons of people and cars. We walk a lot, to people's apartments or to the church building or Roxanna's. We take a bus or van a lot too, if we are in a hurry. 

Well, I don't really have much to say. Thanks for emailing and the pics. Love and miss you.
