I hope you all are doing well, its interesting here, sometimes it’s really hard and sometimes I really like the structure.  Ok, I wrote a list of stuff to talk to you about cuz I don’t have much time so here goes.

The mosquitoes here are huge! Not really there’s just a lot of them, I get like three bites a day if I’m lucky. I got one on my wrist the other day and it itches like crazy.

We only get milk in the morning for our cereal cuz breakfast is always cereal, we have this really good like granola cereal that I get but it really soaks up the milk so I only get half a bowl so I can get a full bowl of milk… then I can drink that after. Otherwise its water for breakfast.

The main part of the meal is meat for lunch and dinner… its ok most of it has been good actually today we had a steak and I didn’t like that but we had yams with it! It made everything better (yams are my favorite vegetable)

The other day we had these brownies for desert that had the dulce de leche in the middle and they were amazing! Lots of the natives had never even heard of brownies before! They kept asking us what they were! But they were so amazing!

We have bidets here, those things that you like spray your butt… part of me wants to try it but the other part is way scared to! I don’t know… I tried spraying it just a little (not while I was on it, just next to it) and it sprayed way hard! TMI

We don’t have any elders in our district like I said, so we just kinda joined the other north American district. There are ten of us total I love all of them, they are so nice, I just wish we could be more together… so like for English stuff were together but learning were separate… 8 of us are from Utah, one from CA and one from Sydney Australia. She has the best accent.

The first few days we didn’t have teachers cuz one was gone and the other quit so they just kinda made stuff up for us… but our night teacher is back and we got a new morning teacher… she only speaks Spanish though… which makes it hard, the Spanish is going ok, I feel like I should be better than I am and the two other compañeras had Spanish before so they can already talk in sentances and I’m just like…. Me gusta leche.

Saturday we have to go out proselyting or however you spell that.  I don’t think I’ll be able to say anything… hopefully I can say something.

We have these birds that are super loud here, watch a movie with the jungle in it that caw caw caw… yeah that’s what we wake up to every morning.

I keep trying to see the stars but it gets super cloudy every night so I can’t and its really frustrating. I never thought I would miss just looking outside at night.

The Temple and the ccm still under construction, half the ccm is blocked off it’s a pain and the temple won’t be open while were here unfortunately. So the girls and guys half of the ccm are blocked off by big double doors but we keep having to open them at certain times so we can get from area to area when certain rooms are in use…

The internet wasn’t working so we got to get on early and type in word so don’t expect this long of a letter in the future unfortunately… or capitalization L word does that for me.

Internet is really bad here cuz of the construction.. it’s really hard to use and a pain…
