My first day here was rough. The flight came in really early and we didn't sleep that much on the plane so we basically pulled an all nighter. If you've ever done that..... Don't do it cuz its rough. I fell asleep in almost all the meetings the first day but it's ok cuz I was studying lehi's dream ;)
They made me get a haircut the first day. If you saw me the day I left my hair was super short. Like way shorter than I normally get my hair. And then they make me buzz it basically. Ugh man I didn't realize that my hairline has receeded (spelling?) its rough but hey part of life. They had us doing so much stuff the first day and every day that we've been here that I don't have time to think of anything else. They know what they're doing here.
They're pretty strict on rules. It's kinda annoying but obedience is key so I'm following them. ALSO I CAN'T SEND PICTURES :( Ya rough. But I''ll load you up with some awesome pictures of guatemala and The CCM (MTC in spanish)
Like I said earlier the facilities here are nice!!! Like I wasn't expecting hot water. My last shower at home I tried to take as long as possible in my hot shower but I guess I can enjoy it a little more :) They feed us so well. Like way better than what I was making at home. They seem like they're gourmet food. Also kinda have effected my digestive system but hey it's not that bad
Exercising is awesome here. They have a niceish facility and they have bball courts. Tadje and I have been balling it up oh and he brought these workouts from his trainer and lets just say I look like an old man walking everywhere.........
It's so green here but they don't really let us out of the gates. The views from this computer room are gorgeous!!! The temple right there and then mountains of green as a backdrop..... MAN!!!!!!
Hope You all are thriving and making sure you keep God in your lives because he's there and he wants to help you and make you as happy as can be. The spirit I have felt here is just incredible. District meetings are the best because we are a bunch of buds struggling to learn the gospel in spanish but the testimonies of these guys is just incredible. Awe man it's awesome to be a Missionary for Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father!!!
I wanna share a quick testimony in spanish:
yo se que esta iglesia es verdadera y que nuestro padre celestial nos ama y que podemos revolver mediante el expacion de Jesucristo. En el nombre de Jesucristo amen.
LOVE YOU ALL SO FLIPPING MUCH!!!!
