so this week was nutso wild!
we{ll start with thursday, i saw my first cockroach here. wild experience, it was freaking huge. i about died seriously, we{re in the casa de huespedes and were on the nice couches doing personal study and all the sudden one of the hermanas is like oh my gosh oh my gosh its a cockroach, so elder mills was next to me, we both jump up, i pull a heisman and smash him back into the couch, scream, and run!!!! haha, i was waiting for that freaking thing to sink its fangs into me or something so i bolted! ah man, then one of the tougher hermanas got it and killed it for us, whew. im going to have to man up or something hahaha. oh and elder hollingsworth got like a half dear john today, felt bad for him, but he{s being good humored aboutu it. tell lex to ask mads about it. its kinda funny actually, but its all okay!
friday, not much exciting happened other than my teacher told me my espanolis acutallly improving, i cnat tell much of a difference but she said she can see a huge difference since day one, considering day one was next to nothing i feel great. and she said i am bold when i teach even though my compannion talks more, she feels i apply to her needs and she really lieks that. so not too bad.
saturday' we helped with these primarys that come on saturdays! the kids are so cute, we all sing to them and then give them a presentation, usually its just the latinos but me and myc ompanion somehow got in on it and g ave all these primary kids a tour of the CCM. it was so awesome. this little cute kid just babbled on and on in spanish to me like i ws fluent or something, i just nodded adn said bien to everything hahaha. we did CRE today, we taught a real less active member a lesson and we found out monday that he actually did go back to church after not going ofr 6 years. hopefully he keeps it up!! that was exciting, to know you{ve finally made a differenc.
so sunday we found out we{re the new aps, there was at otn of rumors going aroudn the CCM about who it would be and this and that. we had no idea it would be us. its a ton of responsibility here. apparently we run this place along with the two supervisors, which is pretty nuts so i{m going to be wildly busy for the next three weeks im so so so stoked!!! new kids come in tomorrow and then the fun really begins haha. i get to conduct all these meetings in spanish, im going to sound so stupid haha. i cant wait.
skip monday, 3we taught a great lesson and learned how to negotaite at the market
today, we went to the relief map, which is a three D map of guatemala, like a terrain map, it is like huge huge huge, takes up this 1 acre lot tup thing. then we went to the market. i spen tlike 40 dollars in american money or less and got soccer jerseys, a drug rug, a marathon t shirt, which is so leget. i got lex and mads some cute things and i cant wait to send stuff home. this place is so great! I cant wait til i send home pictures and you will know what i am talking about. we got to leave the CCM today and it was so nice, haha i ate MCdonalds and dominos in the food court at the mall after the market. i havent been so happy, other than my stomach feel spretty full ahha. Well, ill have a lot to tel next week, wild AP stories of having to rush through life and wing everything and all that. weve already had emergencies this morning so thats crazy too.
its just us nortes in the CCM tonight, kinda lonely, E Rod is gone and i miss him like crazy. Man this time isflying, and the email time is way too dang short, especially since i still havent figured out this stupid keyboard. i hope all is well at home, i love you all and everything is more than well here!
