I am soo grateful mom and dad that you taught me to eat everything and anything but honestly I don't even know half of the stuff I eat here but sometimes its actually good:) the mangoes here are to die for!! and best part is I can have an entire mango to myself haha and not share one with the entire family! haha just kidding but its good! It's been really hard! The teachers speak spanish hah they speak as much english as I did spanish at home so like none and your expected to know it its really hard but good! haha but one of the hardest things we have done here is the teaching. So pretty much what it is.. they literally take people off the streets in mexico city apparently and we have to teach them a 30 minute lesson ALL in SPANISH!.. now... like he doesn't know any english and its just me and my companion giving a 30 minute lesson on the restoration.. haha better yet my comp speaks noo spanish what so ever so I get to do it all yeah!! haha but yeah! also what happens is that we have to give a 5 minute talk in spanish too infront of our branch which is like 20 people todays was on faith haha yeah so that was pretty stinking hard too! but haha yeah we sang a child of GOD!! haha I was like yeah.. I totally know this song in spanish it was funny! but umm so the picture with the hat is funny we did a service project in the cafeteria and we had to clean everything up! and I had to clean this metal frame that had 1 inch of grease on it literally and I had to scrub it off! it was above my head so all this grease was just splashing on my head haha and I just started singing the song to London bridges ... me gusta trabajar trabajar trabajar me gusta trabajar en el CCM! haha and then the Entire cafeteria started singing the same song haha and we got some fruit afterwords for being the best cleaners! haha it was an awesome experience! but ok in my dorm I have like 6 people so 3 companionships and those 2 people that are latinos literally would make my night every night! they are the funniest people I know. I looked forward to them every single night"! but they left dang it but yeah one is from Ecuador and he would always call me PELIROJO!! haha everybody here loves my hair its soo funny! literally everyone asks me if I die it! haha its so funny! alot of the hermanas are like I wish I had a guy with that hair! hah its so funny!! anyways they would make me laugh and they literally made my night! haha the weather here is amazing!!!! it literally rains like aton!!!! every night and the thunder here just shakes your bones its sooo loud!!!
