​By the beard of Zeus!
 
It has been a crazy week!!! I really can’t even believe I’m here honestly. hahaha. I have never been so sweaty in my entire life.  I walk outside and I’m instantly wet. At least our apartment has A/C though! I’ve been eating the oatmeal for breakfast and that is the best thing ever! hahaha All of the snacks and stuff are going to save my life. My casa is actually pretty nice. I took pictures of it so I’ll send them when I can. None of the computers have SD card readers so I need to find an adapter but there aren’t any stores here that have them. Hermana Haws might be able to order one for me but I can’t ask her until I go back for some training thing in like a week. It has been so awesome I’m not going to lie.  According to my comp, my area(Frontera)  is his least favorite so far in the mission so that makes me excited to see what the rest of the mish is like because it’s dope here!!! My comp is so freaking cool. He has been helping me soooo much. hahaha I thought that when I left the CCM I knew a decent amount of Spanish but then I got here and I cant understand shaz hahahaha. Here they have a super trash accent where they drop the "s" at the end of words so it makes it really hard to understand them. Little by little, Right?! I just need to give it some time and always be ready to learn. Last week was probably the weirdest week of my life now that I think about it. hahaha. 
 
Last week on Tuesday we went to a little pueblo in the middle of the jungle called Miguel Hidalgo and met with the branch president. His name is Hermano Antonio. He is the nicest guy in the world I’m pretty sure hahaha.  Right when he got there he said "Elders, my sister was talking to me today and she wants to meet with you" Her name is Hermana Olga. We went to her house and sat down to teach. The first thing she says is "When can I be baptized?" I was like what the freak is happening! hahaha. My first lesson and that’s what she said hahaha. So we have a date set with her for this Saturday which is dope!! It was so funny though in the middle of the lesson she just started picking her nose and eating it and I was about to lose it! hahahaha. We also went to this lady’s house named Hermana Delia and she gave us this cake called carlota which is probably the best thing I’ve had in my entire life! Soooo good!!!! The other food here is pretty good too. It’s not too spicy so I can handle it. We have lunch with someone everyday and its always the same thing --caldo de pollo every meal here! I guess I’ve got some time to get used to it! hahaha. We went to Miguel Hidalgo on Thursday and it started to rain so hard. I really experienced what tropical rain is all about hahaha, we were walking in the street and it started to dump on us so hard it was crazy. Holy, it is a crazy place here. It feels like I am in a different world it’s so weird.  I am so excited to see what I can do here though!!!
 
Love and miss you!!
