MTC Week 3

Hola Mi Familia!

So triste news first. The lovely Elder O'Leary had to go home for medical reasons. We are way sad about it. Loved that goofball!

I told my district that you are sending me pumpkin bread and they about died. Apparently pumpkin chocolate chip bread is good to everyone! Yay!

Lately we have been getting closer to the other missionaries in our zone. I think we have the best zone in the whole MTC. We are branch number 1 actually. Take that as you will. We have a district leaving on Monday morning which is way sad because we grew to love them so much this week. They would always come in and help us Hermanas during language study. They are so flippin' smart! Currently one of our zone leaders is Elder Prows. On Sunday we finally established that he is Ron Prow's grandson! So weird! I will have to send you a picture of us.

Speaking of pictures, I am going to send you pictures on a CD and printed copies with explanations for all the pictures. Then I can tell you all about the most wonderful people on the earth! Complete with hysterical pictures. Seriously, we get pretty crazy sometimes.

So I went to the temple with mi companeras this morning plus Elder Duty (yes I have called him Duty Head before) and Elder Kimball. They are both from Atlanta and are going to Argentina. Love them! They crack me up! They made fun of us the whole way home because it was SO COLD! It has been rather chilly lately! We ate breakfast at the temple though and I think I gained like 45 pounds from this huge waffle I ate. O well, it was worth it.

So I don't remember what I told you about our first investigator, but we were right. He was our teacher. And we love the crap out of him. He brought us cookies on Friday so we wouldn't hate him for not telling us he was our teacher. Funny sidenote, Fridays are Verdes Viernes, and during one of our lessons, we told Cesar about it so on Friday the three of us and Hermano Russell all wore green. It was so funny. We took pictures. Hermano Russell reminds me of a white Abed. Random I know. He is so funny though.

I started writing down all the funny things people say and O my gosh, I have pages and pages already. Most are probably only funny to us because we were here for it, but still, they crack me up.

If anyone is wondering, if you couldn't tell, I am truly having the time of my life here! I love every minute of it! I love getting up in the morning so I can see all the missionaries in the zone and teaching our investigators! I have only been here for 2 weeks and I have taught ten lessons en espanol. TEN! Insane! I am surprised at how fast I am picking up the language, although I still have so far to go!

We got a new district yesterday! We haven't met them yet, but I can't wait! I love not being the new-b anymore! They are all elders though, but that is okay because I seriously love all the elders so much! And since there are only 7 hermanas and 4 are leaving in a week and a half, the elders just love us too! And just so you know, it only took one week for an elder to call me mom. Knew that would happen. :)

Well, time is running out but I love hearing all about your lives and what is going on! The dear elders you have been sending are awesome! I love getting letters every night! So great! Can't wait for my pumpkin bread! Love you all so much and I will send pictures home soon!
