Hola mi familia y mis amigos!!!!!
How is everyone doing? I want to know everything that´s going on! Thank you everybody for all the letters it is really what´s gotten me through the first week! Man, not going to lie the first four days were rough and I kept asking myself how I was going to do this for a year and a half but it has gotten SO MUCH BETTER!! I´m on the west campus so we´re outside all of the time and everything is super nice over here so I definitely scored! The food has kind of already gotten old. It´s hard to eat cafeteria food every meal.
I LOVE my district they´re the best part of the mission! My district is just me and mi compañera, Hermana Judd (funny story they printed her tags wrong so for the first day she was Herman Judd). She´s going to Bolivia and she´s actually leaving for the Colombia MTC on Tuesday so I don´t know who my new companion will be next week. There are six other elders in my district. Four of them are going to Argentina and two of them are going to Colombia but their visas just came in yesterday so they´re actually going to be leaving for the Colombia MTC too on Monday so we don´t really know what´s going to happen with our district and with my new companion but oh well, we will see!
There´s one Elder in my district who is a potato farmer from Idaho! Just with a description like that you know it´s going to be delightful having a kid like that in your class for 10 hours a day! He is so funny I can´t even tell you! He´s just the most random kid but hopefully my pictures work and he´s going to be the one making the weird muscle poses in every picture! He told me a story about how when he was sitting on his tractor one day while farming he got so mad that he chucked a wrench at the tractor and it shot back at him and hit him in the face and he had to get stitches!! As you can imagine I couldn´t stop laughing forever! I don´t know my whole district just tells funny stories like that all day so that´s why I¨m always entertained in class with my district!
Let´s see we have a bunk bed and pretty much every day when we wake up my companion hits her head on the ceiling from the top bunk and it kills me every time! There´s 3 other Hermanas (Sisters) in my apartment that are all going to Tijuana! I´ll proably end up getting one of them as my new companion. But they are so funny! One of them loves fart and poop jokes so I kid you not the other day she was telling funny stories like that and I was uncontrollable and I crying I was laughing so hard I don´t know she just kills me! And they also love Nacho Libre and Hot Rod so I´m always able to whip out some good quotes! So many people have quoted Nacho Libre and it makes me beyond happy!
Guess what on Saturday I got to go to the mall and escape to the real world!! My companion had to get glasses so we got to take an official MTC shuttle and go to the mall for a couple of hours it was awesome! We had only been in the MTC for four days and it was already weird to see normal people out in the real world haha! So we didn´t get any mail until Saturday and when we finally got them I got 8 letters and a package!!! You guys are just the best I love yall so much!!! All the Elders were like holy cow Hermana Rockwood how many boyfriends do you have writing you haha! So yep keep em coming I LOVE GETTING LETTERS!!!!
Guess who I saw! Carly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the best part of the MTC so far!!!!! We got to go up to the main campus for the big MTC devotionals on Sunday and Tuesday and it was the best thing ever!! I literally almost peed when I saw her and I just got to give her a big hug and it was awesome! Things started getting better from there!
Oh there´s an elder here who had David Rockwood as his young men´s leader. HIs name is Elder Brush. L. Tom Perry came to speak on Tuesday and it was sooooooo awesome! He talked about the typhoon in the Phillipines and talked about some of the missionary stories and the miracle of how not one single missionary died!!! The Lord really does protect his missionaries! There was some really cool stuff he said about it! Dad we don´t have any culture classes. It makes me sad. I´ve met about 7 or so other sisters going to Tijuana and we´re all just these innocent little white girls! Oh I did meet that girl that Evan coached I saw her after a devotional and the crazy thing is that she is best friend´s with Carly´s companion. She seems really nice but she´s not in my zone or anything.
I´m still a bobbing narcoleptic. I do my best but sometimes I drift off a little bit in class and stuff no matter how hard I try haha! Today we got to go do an endowment session in the Provo temple so that was cool! The other day after gym some of the Elders in our district were trying to do a district and there was leaves all over the ground and these kids just turfed it and rolled and I was laughing so hard!! There´s probably stuff I´m missing but I´m almost out of time and I have to figure out how get the keyboard off of Spanish! So goodbye I love you all so much and I miss you more than I ever thought I could but it´s all good the time will go by fast!!!! Mwah!
