Week 2: All About the P-Day

Hey Everybody!

I apologize if I sounded negative at all in my last email! It was a very hard day and also almost 100 degrees outside plus humidity! The heat is just not my cup of tea. Anyways, things are going a lot better now! I can't believe it's already my second p-day and at the same time I can't believe it's only my second p-day! Days feel like they could be weeks here and I haven't been here nearly long enough for the weeks to seem like days. I like p-days a lot though. We wake up at six and then take a bus ride for like 40 minutes to the temple. It's always exciting. The roads are tiny, there are millions of people and cars and they all want to be the first one to wherever they are going. Motorcycles drive in between the lanes and have to honk all the time so people know they are passing. It's so dangerous! I've seen them bump into cars but manage to stay balanced and keep going. When we get back from the temple, at about 12, we eat lunch and then can go walk around the CTM and go to the shops and stuff. We have about a two block area we are allowed to go. It still looks so weird to me that there are walls all along the street and everything everywhere has bars, you'll see when I send some pictures exactly what I'm talking about. I'm out of time!! Weird things here are that the toilet paper is already in sheets instead of rolls, kinda like Kleenex and at night the sky just turns a hazy yellow or orange because of all the exhaust and lights. It's weird. Talk to you all next week!
