letter numero 1.

holaaaa

So the first week here has been awesome. seriously i love it. Everyone said the first couple days were super hard but I've loved it since i got here. Its weird I've only been here a week because its felt like a month. Its weird. So when we got here we did these role play lessons with the actors who seemed soooo real it was weird. I thought i could just tell them everything I knew and just bear my testimony and I did. And there were like a hundred missionaries and no one was speaking up so i did and i got humbled fast. hahaha teaching is soooo hard. way harder than i was expecting. but its awesome and that was after like 2 hours of being here. Since then all we do is study... and its been awesome. We wake up at 6:30 and study till ten thirty at night and I'm never bored. Its seriously been so cool. its crazy how much I've already learned. Even though we study so much, there never seems to be enough time in the day. Its really weird. Preach my gospel is amazing. You should all read it and go through ALL the scripture references because it makes all the difference. So everything is in Spanish so i had no clue what was going on the first 2 days but its a lot better now. I understand about 60 percent of what my teacher says so its awesome! haha But i got put in the intermediate Spanish class and everyone in my class speaks wayy better than me. But I've been studying Spanish A TON and i'm catching up. so my companion is elder Pechecho. Hes a super nerdy kid from draper but hes soooooo awesome!! haha i love him. hes originally from brazil so he speaks portuguese fluently and it helps him understand spanish but confuses him when he speaks haha its kinda funny. So my district and zone are awesome. i love em. i've run into a bunch of people here i know its weird. Do any of you remember the trouble kid joel acker in wolfeboro? ha cuz hes in my zone and its suuuuper weird. but hes grown up a lot... kinda. haha but being here has been so amazing. i have literally felt the spirit since i got here. Its so cool. And my teachers are soooo good. hermano painter is so awesome and after every class im just like in shock at how awesome the class was. The days are sooo long here its so weird. we get to have gym everyday and basketball has been SOOO FUN. ha the kids arent that good here so it makes me feel awesome. So we went to the temple today so that was awesome. and the second couselor in my alpine ward was working there so that was cool. thanks for all the letters! i've gotten the most in my district so its awesome:) hahaha jota ka jota ka ( jk ) i think i became a dork really fast. At night i like cant wait to study the next day, its so weird. haha but so we can only write today, tuesday cuz its our p day. So it kinda sucked because i got all these letters and then couldn't write back... small price. Saying bye to everyone was the worst. haha you all should have seen meagan. The elders that took me in were super confused at why she was like balling. haha it was awesome. i'm writing all of you letter today though so you should get them soon. But anyway i'm doing well and loving it here! o and keep it up with dearelder cuz its soooo awesome. Love you all ! btw meagan tell sean rooney i ate a full apple in 3 bites and my buddy did in in two!

Love, Elder Foulger
