WHAT'S UP

Week 1 in the books. It has officially been the hardest, longest but fastest week of my life. I am so happy with my decision to serve a mission. It honestly has been so fun. 

We’ve taught 4 lessons in Spanish, and I know how to pray in Spanish so that’s lit.  Spanish is fun.  Our lessons are probably meant for like a 4th grader, but gotta start somewhere. Only sacrament meeting was in Spanish . . . luckily!

Today they took us on a tour of the city because the temple is closed, and that was way cool honestly. They took us to the equivalent of the White House and we saw some other historical sights as well. 

I LOVE RICE. All the other elders are sick of it, but I eat all of it every single meal. 

We eat a lot of different things, mostly chicken, beef and rice. The fruit and juices here are among the best I've ever had in my life.

We get about an hour a day to do whatever from soccer to baseball to ping pong.

The weather is consistently warm.

The people are so nice!  We have 11 missionaries in my district, we have a sister tri companionship. 

My companion is Elder Oliver from Arizona.

Everyone speaks English here.

From what I hear, my mission is straight jungle hahahah I’m excited. I don’t know what else to say other than 6:30 am to 10:30 pm every day is kicking my trash.

Here are some pictures for you.
