I am, I have looked several times for wifi in this airport. I hold the phone up and walk around even. THERE. IS. NO. WIFI. IN. THIS. AIRPORT. Understand that. There was a man who worked for the airport. He said if I could just show him a picture of my checking online (that i had not printed out) he would let me go through I line to check my bags that had no people in it. I tried for a long time to get wifi. It didn't work. I was getting really discouraged. I knew I had to get home. I just had to. I said a prayer to my Heavenly Father and right when I finished my phone connected to wifi. I am having tears as a write this because I KNOW that was a miracle for me. I was able to get the pictures downloaded on my phone. My parents sent them to me over text. THE SECOND I had them downloaded the wifi went away. I was not even able to text my parents back to say I had received the pictures and they downloaded. I walked around with them phone above my head looking for wifi again. It was gone. I never got it back. That was a miracle I needed. That is just one I will share with you. I want you to know though that the Lord is very aware of me. I feel him shaping my life. I do not know why he loves me, like I said. I certainly do not deserve the type of love he gives me. He is ALWAYS there for me. WITHOUT FAIL. I don't even read my scriptures everyday!! I don't get on my knees at night to pray!! I have made mistakes that make me clutch my stomach and make me cringe to think about. I don't know why the Lord loves me, but I know he does.
On my first day back I shared with my family my newly found health problem. I have very very bad Hypoglycemia. They have been able to buy my food that is good for my health and I have felt so much better. School sucks. I feel it is great waste of time. But I have a plan. My friends told me there is a way for me to pay a small amount and get wifi on my computer every month. I will then be able to study hard on my Spanish and the gospel all day. I am very excited. The people at my school are very nice though. I have a lot of fun with them too. I will now just post some pictures and tell about them.
Our entire school is covered in Peru decorations now. That is really fun for me. I don't know why anything having to do with America or with Peru is so cool to me. But when you're an exchange student I guess that's just how it is.
This is my friend Miluska. She does not go to my school. She is actually one of Yanela's friends who is now my friend too. She came over a couple of days after I got back and we mad cupcakes. She makes cupcakes all the time to sell as a job. Her and her mom do it. I guess I was just expecting something different. When it comes to desserts in Peru though, I should know not to expect anything at all. They were nasty and so strange looking. For once I was glad I was hypoglycemic and couldn't eat them. Everyone else"liked" them though. At least it was fun to make.
I watch myself change everyday. It is almost scary. The way my mind has changed and is changing scares me. I don't want to admit such a cliche thing, but I think I desire marriage. It's weird. I'm trying to stop it. I want to do a lot before I settle down. I want to go to school and travel a lot more first, so let's stop talking about it. Just know something is wrong with me and I like guys too much. The end. I'm trying very hard though not to fall in love here. So far so good! And Rachel, we really aren't kissing. (;
Well. I feel like these pictures should be shared. But I don't really know what to say about them. I had no idea what the point of this Catholic ceremony was. But, It was nice to get out of class. And I love pretty music. Pretty music was played. So that was nice. Enjoy pictures of the Catholic ceremony of Corpus Christi. Oh, and the top picture is made out of flower pedals. Everyone brought a couple flowers to school and they made that.
This is my friend, Nicole. I hang out with her a lot. I am reading a book in Spanish. That is what I was looking at in that one picture. The past couple days I have just been reading all day at school. Yesterday it was so funny. I went to the movies with Nicole. We went to see God is not Dead. Before the movie started (at 11 PM) we went and sat in one of the Dbox tester things. Do you know what I'm talking about? We have those 2 Dbox chairs at our theater in Temple. Anyways, we were sitting in them and started acting crazy. We started screaming and shaking and falling out of the chair like it was some intense roller coaster ride. One couple sat down right after we left. They were expecting something as cool as we had just experienced, obviously. When nothing happened except the seat vibrated a little bit they started laughing and looking at nicole and I. It was so funny!!!!!! They were expecting something like a roller coaster ride. haha. I like Nicole.
This is my friend, Fabiola, or Fabi. I spent Saturday night at her house because two girls from Denmark needed my bed for the night anyways. They were in Lima for one day before travelling to Machu Pichu. We had a movie night. We stayed up until 3 just talking and harassing people on social networks. Haha. It was fun. We ate all sorts of food I'm not supposed to eat because of my hypoglycemia. I like when I'm with her. Unlike with Nicole, we only speak Spanish. Nicole in I speak in English practically the entire time I'm with her.
I went to New York (saw this on the streets of Lima)
A car ran over Miluska's foot. I know it's mean. But I was laughing so hard...
Yesterday was great. We spent from 8-4 raising money for kids with clef lips to get surgery here in Peru. We joined into the workforce of Lima, Peru. That it, selling all sorts of things on the streets. We went from car to car at red light in order to earn money. I felt so happy doing it. I really did. We were part of a huge group and I'm sure we raised a lot. I hope anyways.
I love this picture. Lima Peru Temple. Lima Peru flag. I'm in PERU!!!!!! I love being near the Temple. Just being near it makes me feel so peaceful.
