What's up???
Whats up guys, Things here are still awesome!!
We just got a new group of Nortes.
I'm pretty sure from here of all of the new Americans are coming straight here. There are two new Elders and 4 new Hermanas.
I ate one of the weirdest things of my life this week. It was basically chicken meat loaf and it tasted like cardboard. Definitely not my favorite meal yet. For the most part the food here is good though, besides the fact that it is rude to not eat every bite.
My new companion is cool. His name is Elder Christopherson. I don't remember if i put that in my last email or not. I get along with him a lot better than my last companion.
I got both Mom and Dad's dear elders on Saturday. I guess dear elder might not be the best way to go just because it took so long. It was really nice to get mail though. Someone in my district got a handwritten letter yesterday which was post marked for eight days earlier.
In other news, we got a new group of Latinos here last week. They are just now starting to warm up and get
used to the mission life. I haven't found any that I think i'll be great friends with yet but all the natives i've met have been super nice.
Things here are super cheap. In the last day, i've bought four ties for two american dollars each. Just about everywhere you go takes American dollars as well as Quetzales. The exchange rate is about 7 Quetzales to
the dollar.
In the way of the language... Its coming. Its not coming as fast as I was expecting here. My entire district is from the US so it is pretty easy to get away with talking completely in English. But it is kind of nice to get a taste of the accents.
I have decided that I can understand every thing depending on who is talking. Some people I talk to talk as clear as sunshine while others I cant understand a single word. I know that it will come with a little more time.
We went to temple already this morning. When we go, there is enough Nortes for an English session. The temple here is tiny. It only has 4 endowment rooms that hold about 30 each.
Elder Christofferson (the apostle) came this week. And it was awesome! He shook everyones hands in the entire MTC. Me and my district were the special musical number. We sang because I Have Been Given Much half in
Spanish and half in English. The Latinos loved it!!
Ever since they have been trying to get me to sing in the Halls. Just about all the natives here are tone deaf so i basically sound like Justin Bieber (which they have called me a few times) All in all i'm loving the mission so far!
Hope all is well! Keep me updated with the sports. I don't even have any idea who is in the super bowl!
