This has been a CRAZZYYYY week!! so much that happend but so little time to tell you all about it! so i will kind of be quick on the stories, So we got here and the CCM es soo cool but it is really chill like you can pretty much do anything all the time. Not like the provo where you are like in prison!;) Anyways we are staying in this house about diez minutos away from the CCM called Alcantra(thats the street its on). It is soo pretty i will send pictures if i have time to upload all of them. First off let me tell you about the food, it is always a question whether or not it is going to get us sick but it just tastes marginal....but the BREAD!!! oh my goodness it is a gift from god every bite you take! everyone is calling the bread Tapón(Plugs) because it clogs your whole body up....if you know what i mean...My companion still hasnt gone to the bathroom and its been 8 days!! Everyone is giving him a lot of crap;) So our district is Districto 8, there are 24 of us and 3 of them are sisters. We are such a fun group of kids, and we are all pretty close like we act like we all grew up with each other. The teachers here are absolutely amazing, they are all return missionaries that have good stories and teach us soo good! i love them, my favorite is Hermano Ruitor, he served his mission in Argentina and idk he reminds me of Jared Holgreen(ask braeden about who that is) In our room, which is in the pool house there are 8 of us between 2 rooms. In our room its elder De St Jeor from california who will never stop talking about his girlfriend!! it gets rrreeeeeaaalllyyy old. then there is Elder Duncan, he is from cholo arizona and was a hardcore gamer that has the oddest humor but here in the CCM anything is hilarious:) On our first day here we were able to go to the temple and wow, that was really different from anything at home, the temple is the size of like the LP basketball gym, its crazy small but the same spirit and feeling is in it:)
So yesterday i recieved these "mentors" Elder Despain and Elder Roper, they just bounce off of eachothers humor like pros, i have never laughed so hard after talking with them!!(laughing emoji) one story they had was we were having family night and playing pictionary and elder despáin was sick of losing so he is telling us the answers and telling us to cheat and elder roper looks at him and being dead serious says "cheaters go to hell, Bro, i cant afford to go to hell.....I dont know enough spanish!" oh my word, i was on the floor laughing so hard for 10 minutes straight!!!:) i love them so much.
Braedens talk sounds like is was super good! i am sad that i wasnt able to be there to listen to it....but i was thinkin about him and praying he would do well(ïts true ask my companion). I miss him a lot and wish i could just sit with him and talk about the adventure that he is about to go on. cuz this is completely different from what anyone taught me. Its like having to relearn the gospel from the begining because its a new language.
SCOTTY Boiiiii! i wish i could have been there for more of your games to see if you really have what it takes to be a hansome manly football player like me;) good job tho!!! proud of you and wish i could play catch with you, but we will play in 2:)
The spanish is coming along great! i wish i would have payed more attention in spanish class and really devoted myself to it but i didnt and now i am suffering that. but i realize that i do know alot more than i thought i did! through the lord all things can come to your remembrance:) We are teaching these investegators(teachers that are acting like people they had on their missions) and this is really deficil. the teachers dont teach you then you prepare a lesson and go teach them then afterwards they dont eaven tell you what you did good or bad.....kind of annoying but whatever. I will still learn it, just in a different way than i thought i would!
The lord is blessing me countless times and i feel the spirit almost all of the time. I love this gospel and couldnt imagine doing anything other than this. I am stoked to be a Missionary para la iglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias:)
Love you all, (peace emoji)
