First Real Week...

Ok, so this week was full of ups and downs. I feel like the Lord is really trying to work on my humility.  It's terrible to sit in a lesson and not know what's going on and when I do it's so hard to communicate and say what I want to say.  When I do open my mouth they look at me like I'm retarded and my comp has to clear it up for me.  It's pretty humbling to say the least. 

So Friday I was informed I had to give a talk in church and If you know how I feel about public speaking you would know just how I felt about that.  Sunday came around and I actually gave a pretty good talk - I was actually surprised with myself.. haha.  One of the older women in our ward adopted me as a son (I don't know what that means) but that was pretty cool. 

Me and my comp are working really hard and getting stuff done!  We have 2 baptisms this week so I'm super excited about that. I eat so much here its unbelievable.  I'm convinced it's because food is the only pleaser I have anymore and so I just have to eat all the time. Don't worry I'm not fat.  I actually do some sit-ups and stuff.  Random thought, I was eating lunch with a family and the 2 older boys 16 and 19 years old start playing high school musical music and I just about lost it.  It was awesome.  Turns out I'm not the only person. 

you guys need to edit this before you send it out. its terrible. my whole screen is red because its all spelled wrong because its programmed in spanish and i dont have time to look back on it all. Its been a good week and im really starting to love the people and really like it here.

 

love you all

ps.  Forgot to add some things. I see more boobs here then at home. Everyone just starts breastfeeding right in front of us in lessons and it's super awkward.  I almost crapped myself but luckily didn't.  And everyone thinks I'm a giant.  I'm about 2 feet taller then everyone and they think I'm so big they always give me so much food.  They also think I'm like 25 and freak out when I say I'm 18.
