California Finally!!!!
Well I have lots to talk about! I am in a library right now and I have a 1 hour time limit. First off the field is way more different that the MTC! Also the Spanish is so much more hard to understand. We have taught quite a few lessons and I just sit there because it is so hard to follow in Spanish. When we got off the plane we met President Smart and were taken to the mission office where we had some field orientation. After that we went to the mission home and got our new companions and ate dinner. I am in the Moreno Valley Stake and cover everything west of a street called Parris. Elder Beeston got sent to the desert and I was told your Spanish gets really good out there. I got paired with Elder Dial who is really cool. We are getting along really well. He is a type 1 diabetic and has a pump. He was diagnosed when he was 16 and doesn't do to good right now with it. I have been testing a little more here and I have been pretty good. Our apartment is HUGE!! It isn't super nice but we have a kitchen, living room, study room, bedroom, and we also get our own closet and bathroom with showers. I cleaned my bathroom and now understand why it is so nice to have a clean bathroom! We are cleaning the apartment today and then I will take pictures of it. Elder Dial speaks really good spanish but he doesn't speak it much with me and I am going to ask him to start so I can learn more. I had pizza for my first meal with a member which was dumb but I ate it. I had some great mexican food at another house though. It was homemade re fried beans and rice and these peppers filled with cheese and they are really good! I also had homemade orchata and it was awesome! We ate dinner at a baby shower too and they had some orchata stuff but it had strawberry stuff with it. I got the recipe for it. Church yesterday was crazy! I had to pass sacrament and they do it a lot more different than we do. I didn't have to introduce myself in sacrament either. In all the classes I couldn't understand anything because it was all in Spanish.
Well now I am going to write about some stuff that I need or noticed
I need some more church socks of colors that will match my pants and also my black Nike socks.
If anyone wants to send me something money would be good because I don't have much, groceries are expensive! So that means you can send food too. I would prefer healthy food too because I don't want to gain a bunch of weight.
My first day here I saw a shooting and the Crime Scene Unit was everwhere and the cops blocked a street off too.
I want some more of our honey! and could you put it in a squeeze bottle too?
I also want some of those red pocket scriptures so I don't have to cary around my big english ones. So if you could send those soon that would be cool. See if they come with old and new testament along with D&C. Thanks
When could I get more contacts? I am not sure if I have my perscription here.
I loved the greenie package! A lot!
Is Ethan reading the Book of Mormon I sent him?
I need a good picture of the Rooster because there is a member who paints pictures for the missionaries.
See if there are Spanish Hymn CDS
Whats the Laundry Soap recipe?
I got all the bedding I need thanks for the concern mom lol
I also don't know my appt address and I am not sure how many letters I will be able to send, I am way busy.
Thanks for all your support and everything you do for me. I love You!
