September 9, 2013

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!!
