Ok well first off down here in Guatemala is crazy. The
whole CCM is only Spanish so I don't understand a thing. Even the keyboards
here are different so it´s hard to type.
This week has been awesome. I feel
like I'm learning a lot faster now and think I will be much better off than if
I stayed in Provo. This week we actually get to go out street contacting on our
own! It should be interesting.
Yeah Mom the CCM is right in the city and it´s
actually in my mission! Today we saw Elders walking past the gates that are in
my mission. This city is huge. I can't wait to actually go out into it and
place Book of Mormons.
My favorite part of every day is the soccer here. It´s
tons of fun playing with the Latinos. I actually score all the time haha.
Everyone calls us Nortes it´s funny. The food is really good but definitely takes some getting used to. There is some mexican type stuff and then also some
American food. With some of the things I have to force it down but I guess I
better get used to it. Overall the food is really good.
The schedule here is
way more relaxed than Provo too! We have a lot more study time and in a couple
weeks they are going to take us to a huge three story market and then to
Wendys! I can´t wait haha.
Hmm I can´t figure out how to start a new paragraph
so I´ll just keep typing I guess (we edited his letter and added paragraphs before posting). Conference was crazy good! I got to watch it
in English because over half the people here are Nortes. It´s soooo crazy about
the age thing now. I never thought that would happen. I bet by the end of my
mission there are a lot more than 2 Hermanas in my zone.
I really liked all the
talks. We watched every single one so it was really good. I also liked Elder
Holland´s but I would have to say that one of the seventies was my favorite.
I
can´t remember his name. I'm so happy to hear about Romney! That´s hilarious!
Obama's best thing last time were the debates and looks like Romney has a good
shot maybe. We don't really talk politics in the CCM and so I'm a
little deprived and definitely like the updates so thanks.
The weather here is
awesome. Every day it´s a perfect temperature and it really hasn't rained that
much. Yesterday we got our first big rain but even that only lasted about
fifteen minutes. I kinda wished it lasted longer cause I didn't get to go in it.
The one thing that is kinda lame here are the rooms. There are six people per
room and only two closets. There aren't any desks and every person just gets
one small drawer. So I pretty much just live out of my suitcase. We have a
shower in our room but it´s tiny and we always have to hurry cause it´s only
one shower per six people. We can´t drink tap water so it´s a pain to brush my
teeth cause we have to go get other water. Hmmm oh yeah and we can never touch
the floor with our bare feet or we'll get a weird fungus thing! It´s fun! Don't get me wrong I still really like it here and in three weeks we might be able to
move to better rooms.
When we got here they completely reassigned companions
and I got...the same one. Whatever though he´s cool and we'll have a fun last
five weeks. Yeah only five more weeks here! Well that´s kinda a lot but it´s
going by fast. I can't wait to get out and actually have my own apartment and
start teaching real people. Well just about out of time.
Hope my email made sense even though I can barely type. I'll see you guys in two years! Well hey actually less.
