Hello Everyone!
On our first P-Day we went to the temple! It was pretty big; 4 stories and even had escalators! Which was weird. I listened to the session in English though (they have headphones). I promised mi maestros that I would listen to it in spanish next time. It was beautiful though! Everything had to do with the Myans in the decorations! It was amazing! I listened to headphones though ... but I will listen in Spanish next time. It was really hard because the helper was giving me 5 words at a time, pretty fast too! All I did was say something like it and he was like "uh-huh". It is around the same size3 as the Gilbert temple, just a little bigger. It's 40 minutes away from the CCM, but it was cool torque we were singing all the way there!
The tienda (store) es mi amigo. Everything is so cheap! I got a liter Gatorade for under a dollar! I love it! They have peach rings here! They are super good! So is the food. It just keeps getting better and better! We have Costco pizza every Tuesday night, and hamburgers every Sunday night! It's so good!
My Spanish is getting much better! I can mostly speak in the lesson without looking in the PME or in folletos (brochures)! What helps everyday is that my companion and I only speak Spanish every Wednesday. That helps a lot. So does talking with the Latino missionaries. We do that every night for 45 minutes! One of them actually learned enough English to say a prayer directly from memory! It was awesome. Another Latino Élder was having trouble saying "tree" and "three". It was quite funny.
We have dos mas investigadores! Fernanda y Cristian. Fernanda has a drinking problem, and Cristian thinks God is mad at him. But, they're awesome.
Yesterday we did something cool. It is called TRC. It is where you have the oportunidad to teach a member, less active, or real investigador. Thankfully there were only miembros ayer. It was a good experience though!
Sundays are awesome. Todos los domingos, we watch a video. The first week, like I said was the Restauración. This past domingo, it was Meet the Mormons! It rains todos los notes pero esta may calor durante el Dia.
Tuesdays are cool too! We have devotionals every Tuesday night. It is mostly someone from the 70, or the area authority. But, the week before I got here, Élder Holland came down! I was so sad I didn't get to meet him.
Love you all! I can't wait to get out there and teach!
