So Wednesdays will be my pday. The first week here has been awesome, and I am so excited to be here. In my district there are 10 of us. 8 Elders and 2 hermanas. Our leader, Elder Pututau comitted to play linebacker at Utah, and he is really cool. He is a huuuugee Tongan. For the most part our classes here are all in Spanish, but our teachers are super good. We have an "investigator" he is really one of my teachers, that we have to teach a lesson to everyday, and the lessons have to be in Spanish. Its really hard, but im starting to get a hang of talking about church things in Spanish, i still am not very good at talking everyday Spanish to the Latinos here :), but im working on it. My companion is from Orem Utah, his name is Elder Maynes, and we`ve gotten along pretty well. Sorry if there are any typos in here, this keyboard is really weird, the shift key is about the size of a tictac. So far with our "investigator" we have gotten to the third lesson, and its going really well. The food here is pretty average, but I like it. Most days they split the meals either breakfast and dinner is Hispanic food and lunch is american food, or the other way around. Most of the time it is pretty good. They have juices here that are AMAZING! Our day at the MTC usually starts off with presonal study, then breakfast, then we have language study or language class, then we do a language task (like learn how to say a prayer in Spanish. I try to say most of my prayers in Spanish), then we have lunch, and then we either practice memorizing stuff, or we have TALL, which is like Rosetta Stone, but worse :(. Then we have to teach the lesson in Spanish, and once we do that, we have comp study until dinner, and after dinner, then we have district meeting or whatever they have planned, then we go to sleep. All of our teachers here are from Guatemala, and they are all really good. They have a store that comes and sets up stuff that you can buy, and i found a Brasil soccer jersey that was really cool. I asked them if they could find a Honduras one, and they said that they would try, but i doubt they find one. They are only giving us an hour to write today, and everyone is super sad about it. I would say the total number of missionaries here is just under 200, but i may be wrong. Dad, you were right about the room, there are 4 bunkbeds in each room. I don`t know what else to say, so ill just let you guys know that I love all of you, and i want to hear from everyone. Im so excited to be here, so till next time.
Nos Vemos
