It is strange having been here 3 weeks. My Spanish is definitely coming along although I still can struggle with my pronunciation as my mind will occasionally think of how to pronounce the word in a French way because it looks similar to French words and that was how I learned to say the words but of course that is completely wrong. Also, typing with the keyboards here is not the easiest as the spacing is strange and they have different features than the keyboards in America.

I got a new companion who is called Elder Rhees, but next week we will all get new Latino companions. Next preparation day should be fun as we are going on a tour of the area of the city.
I am learning how to do soccer a lot better and I rather enjoy
the sport. When I am in Ecuador I plan on buying a soccer jersey
for Ecuador for Pdays and any other opportunity and it would be a neat souvenir.
One thing I look forward to on my mission is listening to music like
MOTAB or The Piano guys (I think they got approved for missionaries) as
music is not to be played in the MTC through music players which makes sense
as if everyone played music it would be loud.
I am glad I chose to go on
my mission right after high school as I feel I would be wasting my time
now if I was at home. Still I really want to be actually preaching as right
now we do classes all day long which is basically prison for me. It doesn't help that we are fenced in the MTC
as well. I know the classes are meant to be for our investigators but we
don't have real investigators right now and it is hard to not think of
yourself when all the classes are meant for your benefit. Still it is
necessary even if it is hard. I am looking forward to tomorrow as we
have a proselyting activity for some time which will be great practice.
I was sad to hear that President Packer
died. Well I look forward to hearing
back from home next Tuesday and
the PDay after the next one you should be hearing about my Latino
companion.
Love
