Ok I don't have time to read anything so they let us
print it out so I will read it when I print it. So I am here in
Argentina, I love it here. The plane was a bit more stressfull then I
wanted it to be. The keyboard is diffrent hear so if I misspell I'm sorry. I am settled in very nicely. Me and an Elder Brown from Utah
are in the same district and we both struggle with Spanish so me and him are
best friends. My compamion is Elder Watkins. He is from Nevada, and he
is the district leader. I am the senior companero, so there is a bit of a
power struggle between us. The CCM is what they call the MTC so I will
as well. It is really, really small. It's really like a private school. There
are only 80 of us here; 45 whites or Americans and 35 Latins. This is
the first time in histroy that there as been this much of an
outnumbering. My spanish is really bad, but I am working on it. I can
say a prayer and now and I am learning how to translate what I want to say
in a lesson into Spanish. The first day I got my companion, we were
given a investigator, and had to teach them. I think I scared my
companion I was crying because I was so frustrated at the fact that I can't
speak what I want to. I dont like the no freedom bit; I have this companion
next to me 24/7 and I am trying to get used to it. BIt he is awesome so I
guess I can't complain too much. Everything is in Spanish here. I have yet
to get rid of my headache that I have had since I arrived. We got to go to
the temple so that was awesome. It is so beautiful. The temple is right
outside my window, not 100ft away, so that is really awesome. During
actividad, I run with Elder Nelson, Marys friend I was talking about. So
we get to run around the temple and play volleyball and no one say
anthing about it. It's like we are in an army and this is our HQ, wierd
analogy but you get it.
Well I will talk about the food. It's better then alot of things,
but way worse than everything else. The day I arrived it was hot I am tired
and they had me a HOTTT bowl of soup. It took all I could to just say
thank you. WE can HAVE SODA!! So I am happy on that end; we have had
horse, cow stomach, and like horse intestine or something. I thought it
was an egg, but no, no it was not an egg. I have two Latin companions
who are from Chile, Elder Escubar and Elder Scotti, they are awesome. They help me with my spanish, and are very humble people, they leave in 4
days so we well get new Latins every 2 weeks. The Americans only come
in every 6 weeks, so the group we have now is this American group. I
like 90% of them so that is all good.
I miss everyone so so much, one hermana had a really hard time yesterday and me and my companero gave her a blessing, so that was
awesome. I am glad that I am not that bad, I miss you all, but not to
the point of not functioning. Being here I have learned that so
many things don't matter; so many things are just unimportant. Only when I focus
souly on what I need to do will I ever get things done.
I love you so very much! please know
that! I miss the trees, the mountains, the pond and yes the animals. I
miss you and pray for you, please pray for me!
Till next Thursday,
Vaya con Dios!
Elder Brewer
