Hey, 

 So this last week was... long story short crappy, But doing much better now. So I went home and prayed... Hard, and asked for a miracle or something, don't know exactly if it has happened yet but yesterday was 10 times better because I was able to talk to an hermana who is from Nampa and just be able to talk, in English, about just some fun times like Trek and such. Also went on a hike through a forest. Sorry, I was stupid and didn't bring my camera because I didn't know. 

I think my Spanish is getting better. But you know how hard I can pay attention to something and to someone when they talk and that has been what I've been doing so I am catching on to words and phrases. Not forgetting English yet though. I miss speaking English all the time. I also miss driving. But oh well. I don't know if I told you but the driving here is crazy! And crossing the street. We J-walk all the time and it the normal thing to do... Kinda scary sometimes but I don't go if I know I won't make it, Don't worry.

My comp was sick all of last week and so he slept while I studied like crazy! Like I am half way through "our heritage" which is another Great Book! I remember when I was complaining about reading the books in the missionary library but truth be told I love them. I have also starting reading Jesus the Christ but that one is a hard read so I am giving that some time. I am in Mosiah 12 I think. Its when Abinadi is super bold with King Noah. Super interesting and cool to see the boldness he used.

I thought I was getting Chow Mein....not quite.

 Haha mom, yea you wouldn't be able to live here because they Love Bread! Like they are what are called "Panderia" and they are everywhere and they make fresh bread and sweets and such. They also love sour cream more than Michelle and Mayo more than me... Yea I know gross. But I have had Heart of Palm salad and that was Super good! And then last night a member made for us "salchichon" which is like the sausage you use with sour kraut and they pan fried it and put it on a corn tortilla with a tomato onion salsa and it was super good! You should try it! They also like hot dogs except I think the hot dogs are spam, but they're still good. Oh then they put mayo and ketchup and raw cabbage on the hot dogs, weird I know. Oh we went shopping, Like legit yesterday and I am so happy with the food I got. I now have eggs, Tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, some cereal, milk, break, hamburgers, oh and toaster strudel.... I couldn't resist myself. Oh and of course Lemon pepper... They exact kind we used to have soo it'll last quite awhile.

This is where I study everyday.

Frescos are what they call drinks, its weird but yes I have. The ones I know I have had are papaya, cantaloupe, I can't remember or know the names of the others because fruit names in Spanish are much different. Oh Spanish people are prideful with their language because I will say a word in English like "funeral" and its exactly the same in Spanish and I didn't know and so I said it in a Spanish accent and they were like OHHHH, and I was like oh my gosh. But yea other than that I am doing better Today.
