To
start off, I will answer some of your questions. There are 8 of us in
total that will be going on the same flight to Nicaragua. The four in my
district and then there are four others that arrived the same day as
us, but from another district. I will probably try to call around 2 or 3
your time, if all is well. Try not to stay up for me;)
The
flood I wrote about last week was indeed all from just rain. We were
all inside while it was raining/flooding so I don't know exactly how
much or how heavy the rain was, but I would imagine pretty hard! haha
As
far as the food goes, I have been eating a lot of peanut butter and
Nutella sandwiches to get my fill of home in before I am completely cut
off from any chance at normal food! Also I have had a lot of cereal for
the same reason! but the real food here is still very good! I am a fan,
and I'm sure I will love it in Nicaragua also, as long as it doesn't
make me sick. But I'm not holding my breath ;)
Now
to start the good stuff. I have had quite a great week this week! Elder
Gates and I made a commitment one day that we would speak only Spanish
one day this week. I believe that it was Thursday. We did really well,
and we even carried it in to Friday, but we didn't do quite as well on Friday. It got a little difficult on Friday because
we had to talk to a lot of people that don't speak Spanish super well.
We were doing some in field orientation stuff. So as far as the Spanish
goes, I feel super ready, in fact I know that I am speaking at a
functional level. All I need to do is learn the endless amounts of
vocabulary that there are to learn.
Our
last week of lessons went really well! or at least Elder Gates and I
felt so. It is kind of hard sometimes because he and I always come out
of the lessons feeling super pumped and like we did a great job, but
Elder Campbell just always seems to have some problem with the lessons. I
wish that we could have had lessons that pleased all three of us one
day. Hopefully things will be just slightly different in the field,
because it is sort of discouraging when not all three of us feel like we
had a great lesson.
It
is starting to get so crowded here, I am leaving at the perfect time!
We got here when there were about 300 people here at the CCM. Now there
are about 600. And in a month or so, there will be about 1100. yes both
1´s and both 0´s were intended. It is already super crowded in the
comedor and during gym time so I don't know what people are going to do
when there is 4x the amount when I arrived! anyway, good luck!
Packing
up my stuff has really made it real, and I am now so anxious to get out
of the protection of the CCM! Don't get me wrong, my time here was
great, but I'm ready to go! I'm ready to see the place I will serve, to
get to know the people and culture I will be surrounded by. I don't
really feel too nervous right now, it is really weird. I think I am just
too excited!
Thanks for the pictures. The triplets are absolutely the cutest ever.
Love you!
