I found a fellow rugby player..... he´s Tongan, and will teach me the Hakka
The food this week has gotten better, had pancakes and bacon cheeseburgers at one point... other than that still lots of different Mexican foods!
Here's what a typical day is like:
we wake up, go to breakfast, after that we have study time for an hour after
then we work on language, for like 2 hours, go to lunch..... eat in 10 min, go to the store and get some candy, then come home for a 30 min nap
then after lunch we have an hour of language study
then we have gym time from 2-330
after that we have TALL, which is like an online language learning program then lesson coaching!
We teach a lesson in the morning and at night..... then dinner followed by more language and devotionals sometimes, its pretty packed!
The Spanish is going well, I'm impressed with how easy i am comprehending it, even though i wasn't that great in high school....
every Saturday we teach 2 lessons to real locals
some are non members, some are not active, and some are completely active
on Saturday my companion and i taught the owner of the mtc landscaping company who joined the church like 33 years ago and always goes to everything... we weren't sure what to teach because he had no specific requests, so we just got to know him and he told us about his job. he said he has a bunch of lazy workers and he gets mad a lot so we taught the importance of Christ like attributes!
my companion and I can give just about every lesson without really any extra language aids.... we just take English and Spanish BOM and Bibles
Pdays (preparation day) are nice.... my companion and I do our laundry the night before so that's always done first.... we wake up at 630 still, go eat breakfast, come back, clean the house, and sleep for another hour or so.... basically until everyone else is done with chores, then we go all play volleyball or basketball like all day!!
Here's our house!! 24 missionaries split between 4 rooms
our room is probably the nicest.... we got graded on our rooms and passed everything but suitcases being put away because all the storage closest were closed.
the room with my other district members failed everything lol
Found a tank of helium in a closet...
Nothing too crazy happened this week.... but soon enough I'll have pics from Honduras!
Hope all y'all are doing well!!
