3 - Half Way Done with the CCM!

This week has been going a lot better. I didn't have anything stolen! The money was in the bottom of my backpack and they had to search for it. I haven't gotten any cash, but they gave me a card to use for now.

I'm pretty happy. I'm over the home sickness now, like I tell myself I'll be gone for two years and I don't even think twice. It's a lot of work being the district leader. I pray about the other missionaries and spend most of my time thinking about what would be best for them. It seems like time is the one thing I don't have a lot of right now. I don't really have much time to take pictures here because even on P day we are super super busy. We have laundry and emails and naps and sports and a ton of things. But I have been writing in my journal every night. It's hard some nights but it's kind of fun. Learning is hard, but it's actually easier than it was in high school. But it's still super tough. 

We have learned how things work around here, and being half way done, we know the tricks. We found this secret computer lab, but it's always locked so it's hard to get in. But it's so much cooler than any of the other ones! 

I got a new scripture case. It has Jesus on it and I put Alma 26:5 on the back, it's pretty cool. I really like that scripture for some reason. I'll send you a picture in a bit. It's actually really cool looking.

But thank you for that picture, mom! That is the funniest thing I've seen in the last 3 weeks. 

Easter is only a few days after I get into the field so that's a little crazy. 

I have been getting into these things called tazos, they are little cardboard circles with pictures on them. You get them out of chip bags and it's kind of fun to play with them. 

There is still a million things going on here, I'm still not used to having every minute of every day planned out. It's really tough for me. I have tried to just let things go how they are going to go. I'm  trying to do the best I can, but I can only handle sitting in a class for so long before I start losing my mind, it's not much fun. Our teaching is going better. We do a thing called TRC where we get a random investigator and we teach them things from preach my gospel. The language is going okay I guess, but I don't know how to gauge how well I am doing. But then I think where I was even 3 weeks ago and it's amazing that I have learned more in 3 weeks than I did in 3 years of High School Spanish. 

 

I have a rash on my biceps so I'm trying to get it to go away. I want McDonalds. And I wish I could get my hands on some Mt. Dew out here. I need something to keep me going. My body is completely exhausted every single day. But I guess I just gotta get used to it. The kool aid packets were an awesome idea. It's nice to get a little bit of goodness. And in the comedor sometimes they have lemonade, it's amazing. And some days they have like pineapple and orange juice mixed, it reminds me a lot of grandmas house for some reason.

I love you. I'll talk to you soon, and I'll send you the picture in a minute.
