My new area is pretty cool! It's pretty small and pretty ghetto but I love it here! Honestly it makes me remember Maryland a lot! Not sure why but it's just the feel of the place. My companion is pretty cool! He's super skinny and tall. Like 6'3 and probably like 110. We go running in the mornings to the beach which is about a mile away from where we live which is super cool and he doesn't like running so he bikes there. He's pretty funny and nice but I think that he's not so excited to be with me because I'm not very funny and don't know how to be funny like that and yeah... But oh well I guess! The branch is pretty good! I like it a lot! Don't know much about it yet because instead of sacrament meeting we had a primary program with combined Spanish and English so that was actually really cool. The first week in the transfer is always kinda goofy and weird and awkward trying to figure things out so I don't really know too much yet.
I did get your package! Thanks so much! I was so happy when I opened it and found all that stuff especially the jam stuff. And the lego. :) Thanks so much for that! It made my day for sure! I'll try to send out a letter soon as I can with my other SD card.
Thanks for the quote! That's a really good one. It's true! It's way hard to remember that we have been given these trials to improve ourselves and we can't do that if we don't appreciate them and enjoy the moments we have!
As far as this week, I don't really have anything else special to say. Spanish is coming. I can tell I'm getting it down slowly. Going to try to do an all Spanish day tomorrow - me and Elder Taylor. Um... oh yesterday we went to eat dinner at a hermana's house and she told me I have a light in my eyes! It was kinda cool to hear! She told us about her conversion and baptism story basically and she had to go talk to President Tew and she said the same light was in his eyes so that made me feel really neat! I'm glad I have that kinda light in my eyes! I'm really trying to work on being brave with talking to people though... I made it a goal yesterday that I'm going to say something every week in church to participate in the classes. And I'm just trying to get Spanish down... I probably won't get it down as good as I want to for a long time but at least I can kinda communicate-ish. Well I can't think about anything else to really say at this point in time. Just trying to learn the area and the people and stuff. Anyway I love you! Have a good week! Hang in there!
