Well I got here! It has definitely not been easy at all! It´s beautiful here! There are tiny parrots {papagayo} flying around everywhere and the are almost my favorite animal now! The food here is great! The other Elders here are telling us the beans here make you sick, but I think there are good and so far so good! One of the Elders in my District puts the beans on beans on everything it´s funny! Even on spaghetti. Almost every night we hear explosions, and we don´t know if they are gun shots or fireworks, but i´m pretty sure they are gunshots! Every night there are people out on the streets yelling and playing music until like 1.00 in the morning! Elder Jacobs likes the window open so I just deal with it! My district is pretty fun! Elder Jacobs is really cool, he is a great example to me! Right after I arrived here me and Elder Jacobs had to teach a lesson in Spanish!!!!! Holy Cow was that humbling! I just kinda sat there with my mouth open. The next lesson was great though! It´s a little hard to invite the Spirit in those lessons, especially with a huge language barrier, but we are doing our best! Our {investigators} name is Mellisa. You know she is a member, but you just have to have the mentality that's shes not so you can really teach with the spirit. It´s cool how much you learn here. I stink at Spanish, but spanglish is coming along quite well! You just have to speak the language as much as you can. All the Elders that are leaving the MTC or CCME are like veterans to us, but when the get out there they will be in the same position we are, it´s crazy! They say it goes really fast! We study a lot here and the devotionals are great! The Devotionals are usually Elder Bednar. Yesterday they played a talk that he gave it was about Christs Character it was super humbling and a great talk! Everything is going well! They have a gym here so that makes me really happy! There is a huge mountain behind us and the houses almost go all the way to the top of the mountain! It´s really beautiful here. Today we got to go to the open house of the Mexico City temple! It´s beautiful! I will try to send pictures. Next Wednesday Elder Christoferson is coming to speak to us, and i´m pumped! Oh and by the way mom I am writing in my journal every night! That´s new!
I am sure those noises are just fireworks!?! He sounds so good!
