Hi there! I´m doing great!! I am starting to understand most of what people say and I really have learned a ton about the gospel and about spanish. The food is really good actually. There is always rice and pasta with some sort of meat or sauce on top and it is all pretty good. I miss milk a little bit. They don't drink milk here I don´t think. Every morning we have bread and cheese and ham and then there is fruit and juice and cereal with yogurt instead of milk. I pretty much make wad or whatever you said you made in France Dad. I really like the food though and I am always full. Oh and thank you, the food on the plane was a lifesaver. I would have starved without it haha. I just had motion sickness on the plane though I think. It was only for takeoffs and landings, but I was about ready to puke. Anyway, enough about that.
The MTC is so much fun! I am the only white guy in the two week program, and my companion is Elder Ruiz. He is from Bolivia and he is a really funny kid. I will send pictures next week of him. He doesn´t know any English so sometimes it is hard to communicate, but we work it out and have fun doing it. I teach him English, which he is horrible at learning haha. He teaches me and is very patient with me, so I really do well with that.
My whole district is way fun. We have 6 elders and 2 hermanas. Elder Troncoso is from Chile and he is our district leader. He is an amazing missionary, and tons of fun as well. Sometimes we probably have a little too much fun haha. But I am informally known as El Latino Rubio to my district and to most of the other latinos here. That means I am the blonde latino. I love it when I understand the jokes and when they are just talking and having fun.
Most other missionaries here that are white have no clue what they are saying or what is going on, but I usually understand and that is really fun. We have three investigators that are really just our teachers and they have helped me learn a ton, and last night for the first time, I felt like I was actually teaching by the Spirit in our lesson and I actually was able to say quite a bit in my broken Spanish. It was a great experience.
Oh I almost forgot to mention that I almost stayed the night in Atlanta haha. Elder Adcock left his passport on the plane that took us to Atlanta and he realized right when we were about to board our next plane. I waited with another elder and we were literally about 2 minutes away from not being able to fly out haha. But we made it and all is well.
Thanks for the update on the fam and everything. Life sounds great there! Although I´m sorry its a little quiet. Coleman should be over today though haha just kidding. Except maybe. Who knows.
The view out of my window here in the CCM is amazing. The temple is literally about 100 feet away from my window. So cool. So Cool. We go there today. The money here is really colorful, I just got some a minute ago.
I love you tons! I might have a few more minutes to email in a minute, but for now I need to go! I love you Tons!!!!!
