Wednesday, May 19, 2010- Week 1

Hey guys,

We only get thirty minutes to email so sorry if its short. The first few days were extremely hard but things are definately getting better. I guess it was just wierd for me because I had never gone a day without talking to you guys and it was overwhelming to think that I wouldnt be able to for 2 years. My companion is Elder Giles from just north of Provo. Really nice kid but is pretty quiet and doesnt say much. My district is cool there are a couple of funny guys in there. There are about 7 other guys and they are all going to Argentina, including my companion. Thank you so much for the emails it was great to hear from you guys and it really helps me. I love hearing about how you guys are doing and whats goin on there. I also got Beaus letter and Moms letter thank you so much! I will write you guys back today and hopefull you'll get it in a couple days. IF you guys write me thru Dear Elder its a one day delivery and its free so if you guys wanna do that it would probably be much easier than normal mail. You could also tell Jordan about Dear Elder if you want to. Its amazing how much we learn here in only a week. I feel like I've been here for 6 months. I like learning spanish a lot and I can already bear my testimony and pray in it. Yesterday we had a devotional and a member of the Seventy came and spoke to us and it was really good. I guess last week was Elder Holland so we only missed him by one day. Mom i bought a watch in the book store for like 35 dollars if you were wondering about the charge on the credit card. I also took pictures that I will send in the mail and you can use one of them for my plaque. We get to play basketball everyday which is pretty fun and its nice to exercise for a little bit since we are in a desk all day. My teachers are really cool and i like them a lot. Dad i didnt really realize what you were saying about the name calling until i got here haha we cant say dude or you guys or anything. its hard to get used to saying and responding to elder all the time. Well im almost out of time so Dont forget to use Dear Elder, and Mom if you could can you send an exercise band, hairclippers if thats not too much of a hassle, qtips, protein bars, jolly ranchers(we cant chew gum its horrible). yo sé que el evangelio es verdadero! I love you all so much keep writing!
