come estan!!!! it sure sounds like i am miss alot at home! i cant believe that the tree feel over! that must of been some storm that came throught. and dad.... you have no idea how jealous of you i am right now... i am liking crying to go see and be in the ocean and when you said you that there was no wind and perfect barrels... that like sealed the deal.  how did kyles first game go??? i wanna hear about it! but i am going to answer you guys all on this email so i can keep it together! oh and can you tell grandpa wade to email me next time so i can write him because i dont have his email... but here is my week...

 

this week our american roomates left the mtc for bolivia... they were an awesome group of guys.. one is from arizona... but we just resently got some new roommates and guess what... they are all latinos and none of them speak any english and they speak so fast you have no idea what they are even saying... we always have to tell them to slow down so we can pick words and phrases to understand them... we also had elder cook here i think i already told you guys about but it was an amazing experience for myself.  for breakfast they serve eggs and toast for every breakfast so on my last pday i went and got cereal. it was so good to finally not have something so plain tasting... then next day it and i am not even joking when i say this but like half of the mtc was sick... my companion was puking his guts out along with half the guys here... but i listened to you mom and i didnt get sick ;) thank goodness too.... our latinos in our room love to not sleep but just stay up and read the scriptures which is great and all but you only get an 8 hour block of sleeping time and no more... lets just say it is really hard to stay awake sometimes... oh and another thing about my roommate he like chemically burned his arm pits with his deodarnte... dont ask me how he did it... all i know is that he cut himself using it and then the lotion made it worse... it was quite classic... he couldnt raise his arms higher than his head all week... i can not believe josh is 6 tthought.. i couldnt stop thinking about him the whole day of his birthday... please give him a hug for me as well as the whole family... i was looking at those photos in my suit case the other day and i just wanted to give you all a huge hug... our district is so awesome... i couldnt ask for better guys.... except elder moore... he is one of those guys who likes to be in charge and is always correcting everybodies spanish... we play volleyball every physical activity time and it is really fun to just get away from studying the scriptures all the time... it can be exhausting but at the same time a very humbling and awesome experinec... on fast sunday they made us fast for dinner and for breakfast... so basically they made us fast for like 24 hours and it was killer.... i was SOOOOOO HUNGRYYYYY! hahaha... and another thing that was funny was that the latinos asked how to say run in english and quickly after that they said, run niger run! it was so hilarious and i had no idea where it came from.. we had to quickly tell them that it was bad but it gave us a good laugh for sure... words cant describe how much i miss you guys... however i am having a great time serving the lord and i know it will be 100 times better when i can acutally speak the language... so i hope this answers all your guys questions... i am loving all the stuff i am learning because i can already see the changes i need to make in my life... mom could you send me some jiff peanut butter tho! they dont have any here... but i love you guys so much... try not to worry either... i am in the lords hands ;)
