My first full day: we ate really good food for breakfast, went to the mercado, which was smelly and dirty and crowded, but really cool in its authenticity, tried some interesting food, met with the government and some other groups we will be working with, walked around Piura, rode in mototaxis (three wheeled motorcycles with a canvas covering on the back to sit under), walked around some more, ate more really good food, went to a talent show for a YSA ward, then came back and played card games and now we are heading to bed. I love it here. I feel tall and very conspicuous, people stare at us openly wherever we go, but they are very friendly and the culture and language is not as unfamiliar as I expected it would be. I've been able to follow most conversations and it feels just like home, the home with the Latinas :) (my roommates at BYU) Just so you know, the wifi here doesn't work super well, but I should be able to skype you on Sunday as usual. I love you! I hope everyone is doing well! Love, Amber
