I´m typing on a spanish keyboard right now, which is actually very difficult. That, coupled with having limited time, I will keep this short and try to write a lot more in my next letter.
I miss you all dearly! The flight went well, and I, somehow, did not lose any luggage, although many missionaries did. I sat next to a famous male model from Puerto Rico on my flight from Atlanta to Lima. He had no interest in speaking to me. On the other hand, they had hot towels, which was pretty cool. When I was in the airport, it was so cool seeing all the elders all dressed in their suits and ties. I met quite a few as I went through and introduced myself. I walked up to a group of elders, standing in a circle. I kind of scooted my way into their circle, before I realized they were all in their mid thirties and not elders at all. They were also giving me very odd looks, having skipped into their group so confidently. After a heavy silence, I made a comment like Hey, what's this, the suits club? Then backed away casually. So, that was fun.
The first song I heard in Peru, playing on someone's radio, was R.O.C.K. the U.S.A. In other words, I'm being blasted by Peruvian culture at every angle. The trees here are soooo beautiful. And the air is brilliant. Something about the atmosphere is very comfortable and graceful.
Anyways, more to come. =)
I love and miss you all! I will email again as soon as I can!
I have a great companion and am loving it here so far.
Pass on my love to friends and extended family, as well.
Talk to you soon!
With much love,
Elder Gabriel Alexander.
