Hahahah so the field is very hard I have to say. You
know in the best two years how he says,¨that ain´t the language they
taught me in the MTC.¨ Well, guess what, they really did teach us the wrong
language!! They speak Catalan here
and I do not understand a single word of it. Thankfully most of them
speak Spanish but they speak with the craziest accent in this area so it is very
difficult for me...
So cool story... Where I am serving they hate Spain,
how great huh?? Not suppose to wear the pin (of the Spanish flag) because
here they are trying to split from Spain and be their own country. All
the people have these Catalunyan flags everywhere -- it is insane. Ok, so
they said don´t expect dinner appointments... not true at ALL. We have had six in four
days. Yeah its insane and I am loving the people,
just can´t always understand them which is veryyyy hard. I speak amazingly,
but can not always understand. I´ve learned lots of naughty words from
not saying them right. hahahah. I tell everyone I´m from Africa too and
they get a kick out of it.
So where I live
is the total hood of Spain. Like seriously, it is Rose Park I learned, but it´s awesome. A lot of immigrants from South America so they always
feed us rice and chicken. It is awesome food. But I love it seriously
it´s awesome but SOO hard. I have had a hard time.
We have no one to teach because we opened this area, no one will listen
to us, we are rejected and yelled at multiple times a day. It is the
hardest thing I have ever experienced. Then Sunday was awesome -- to
finally be wanted somewhere and have people listen
to us. And Pday is now so we will go hang out and then nothing else
really hahah. We can do what we want. So when my companion leaves (his mission is over shortly) I´ll stay
here and get a new one. The temp is beyond hot, well not hot, but so
humid. It has rained almost everyday I´ve been here.
But it feels way good.
So tell all the little ones I love and miss them!
Tell B to keep doing well at football and work hard. You´ll never be
able to relive those years and they were the best years of my life. If I
could go back I would. Tell Jax I miss and
love him, work hard during those open gyms, they will make or break the
player you can be. And make sure you´re going out and having fun with
everyone and really experiencing high school. Make it fun. Every night
before I go to bed those are the memories I can
reflect on and laugh about. Ruffles make sure you´re being smart out
there, pick the right kind of chocolate. I miss all of you guys. Be sure
that you guys write me every week because I love being able to see it
all. And lastly all I want is candy to snack
on hahah, we only get one meal a day so I am starving. I love you all!!
