I wrote it all out and it got deleted i am so angry lol. But I am doing so well and the only thing you need to worry about is if I die from the heat lol my oh my is it so hot here and cant even put into words how hot it is. Me and my companion are getting a long so very well. The plane ride was ridiculous but amazing. It was a 26 hour flight and We taught the whole time , we had people ready to get baptized on the plane lol, but I only got 1 hour of sleep and I was so tired dying off that little sleep!! But than I had a bus drive for 9 hours with my companion that next night. Sleep defiantly was needed. So the first while I was so tired and I have now recovered. During my first lesson my heart was pounding so much lol you have no idea. The language they taught us in the mtc was not even close to the language they have here. I could not understand one word and I was so tired but I taught well and testified and promised blessings. The members here are so nice. They don’t have much money but they give everything they have for the missionaries. The houses here are small and poor, our house is small and dirty and old lol but I like it. You don’t knock on doors either, only yell hola and hope they come out to the door lol its so crazy.
My president is so nice and
doesn’t speak any English so his interview was definitely a challenge for me. Good stories we have been teaching so well andgot a lot of interested investigators and also we had 2 baptisms this week!Amazing right. The bishop did the baptism though. More story time, when youhave a baptism its your responsibility to get the room ready and the font. ITtakes 2 hours for the font to fill up and we felt(My companions idea lol) andcame back and it overfilled lol the water was all over the hallways. We werethankful it was tiled floor so it was easy to clean up. It was definitely cool. The language is so hard here but I am learning it fast. I had a talk my first Sunday and I just went up and did it and everyone loved it. I really have been having success. A lot of investigators have big potential on baptisms also so I am so excited to help other people have the opportunity to live with there family and heavenly father after this life. I have a mamita here who brings lunch over Mon-Friday I know spoiled right lol. Also they don’t eat dinner here;( so only two meals a day so I only eat breakfast on my own which is always cereal which is easy for me. I am doing so well so no worries here. There is no air conditioning in our house so imagine how I feel at night lol I just die but it is great. I definitely got lucky to serve here. It is definitely tough serving a mission though and I always keep a smile where ever I go! The food here is good, members spoil us so far. We teach a lot everyday. My companion is from Utah and is nice, I was the only person in the group to get a English speaking companion so I lucked out. I have been doing great and I hope all of you are doing great also. It is nice and hot hot! Sorry I didn’t right everyone individually, my message got deleted after I had written the hole thing I was angry but I got time to write a little. Love all of you so much

I love you
