Week 1

Hola!! 

The CCM is pretty good. The food here is awful and Elder Jensen and I have to use the rest room a lot. Its no Bueno. But we do have some pretty good bonding moments while we are on the toilet so thats good. I will try and put on a couple of pictrues. I didnt even think to bring the cord for the camera. But you cant send that to the CCM theres no way it would make it here. But elder jensen has a card reader so that should work. I cant figure it out right now so i will ask somebody how to do it and come back later. Our schedule is probably just like that other elders. We pretty much wake up study in the classroom for a little while then eat breakfast then we are in the classroom until we have lunch. Then we have Gym right after lunch and then we have tall right after that. Tall is a computer program developed by the church to learn languages. Then after that we have more study time until dinner. then after dinner we teach an investagor! Our second day here we had to start teaching in spanish and it was pretty hard. We pretty much just read everything out of books and stuff. We had five lessons with our first investigator and then he becomes our teacher. So tomorrow he starts teaching us which will be cool. For our lessons we usually just wrote everything out before hand and read it off a paper but the last lesson we wanted to try and actually speak to him. It went pretty well! We "commited" him to baptism so that was pretty cool! For our meals we pretty much just have peanut butter and nutella sandwiches and ceral. Thats about all we can stand to eat. But every now and then there is a good meal that we will eat. So its really not that bad and we can make it! The temple is actually closed until january or something like that so we will not be going while we are here. But next p-day we get to go to the visitors center their and take pictures so that will be nice. Sundays are really nice here. In priesthood we had a really powerful lesson. We watched a movie called missionary work and the atonement and it was so good! I reccomend you all to watch it. I probably wont write and letters while im here because it takes so long for them to get home so if you want to talk to me make sure you email me! The language is coming along pretty good. We have been kind of lazy with it but i think we are starting to work harder for it. I enjoy it here hopefully i take advantage of my time here. Our district is really awesome. They are who we spend most of our time with. I will try and but a picture of them all on here some time today! I love you all! I hope you are doing great at home!

Love, Elder Hurst
