We're really in Peru!

So today I slept in and it was really nice! So  today is just a free day and so I was just sitting talking to some people for about half an hour when someone new got here, she came in said hi and then said she was going to church and started walking out the door. So I quickly got up and asked her which church she was going to and she was going to an LDS church! Yay! :) So I quickly go and throw on my dress so I can go with her. We got in the taxi and we were off on our adventure! It took awhile to find the church and we had to ask like five people where the church was because the taxi driver didn't really know. When we got to the church we found out that was the wrong church and that ward had already finished. So an hermana there helped us and told us where the other church was. We got in a sketchy cab and found the church! It was really cool because we got to see a lot of the town the first day and get a little taste of Lima. As we were driving we just looked at each other and we were like we're in Peru! We found it! Because we went to a poorer part of town, Where the whole hillside is full of apartments and little houses, kids running in the streets, and all we had seen was really the richer areas.  So we got to church and the women were coming up and greeting us with kisses as soon as we walked in. I love the culture here! They are so nice and welcoming and I love, love, love it!!! :) So in sacrament the cutest little kids brought us a hymn book so we could sing. Then after sacrament was over, like a thousand people came up to us to say hello. They all asked the same 3 questions: Are you from the united states? Are you members of the church? and Are you returned missionaries? They were so nice and there was a sister that personality wise was a lot like Hermana Norma. She was super nice and social and was so excited that she would talk so fast so we had no idea what she was saying. She introduced us to everybody and wrote down about 4 peoples numbers so we can call and get a ride to church next week. I'm also pretty sure that almost every woman invited us to go to their house for dinner sometime. They are seriously the nicest people and I am so glad that I was able to go to church today. It was definitely the right way to start out my trip. Anyway I'm doing well and tomorrow I have my orientation and I get to tour Villa El Salvador tomorrow and learn a little more about my placement. Mucho Amor, Janey :)
