I arrived at the Peru MTC (it's CCM in Spanish) last night
around 2am, it was crazy. My companion, Elder Coons arrived around
4am at night so you can how much sleep I got. Luckily on my plane ride
here I sat next to the nicest Peruvian lady and she helped me with all my
customs questions. I was on a flight with about 12 other missionaries,
but I am so lucky I sat next to people who were conversational (I even gave
away my first pass along card on the plane). Going through customs was
very nerve racking. Most of the Elders I was with are going to Bolivia so
they already have there visas. When I went through the lady asked how
long I was staying and I said "two years" with a smile. She
stoically stared me down and said "no" and stamped my passport.
Welcome to Peru. The ride to the CCM was about 45 minutes and we passed
the temple on the way. The pictures I sent are of my window over looking
the CCM courtyard and a picture of Elder Coons pointing at our area (he is also
going to Chiclayo). I love you all so much and you are all in my prayers,
but sadly they only gave me 5 minutes to write. I love Peru and I love
the people here, I wish I had time to write more.
Love,
Elder Perryman
