hola mi familia,

       Good job with writing on dear elder.com i received it last night... how is your leg doing mom? I hope it heals up nice.... i am learning soo much here everyday.. this week i am learning how to teach the first lesson in spanish.. (i can if i try already, but its still hard to expain things) its literally an adventure everyday.. my schedual is pretty nice..most days its get up and get ready and be in class a few minutes before 7. then personal study until breakfast at 8:15 then class twice a day for 3 and a half hours each with different teachers.. hermano Reichert teaches grammer and lessons well and then hermano Silva knows all kinds of laguages from experience and helps us sound like natives and works almost acording to our individual needs. usually sometime in there there is anouther hour and a half for companion study and an hour and a half for language study. luch is usually at 1 and dinner at six. 5 days a week i have an hour in the Gym sometime durring the day where i usually play volleyball, and sometimes foursquare, after i run alittle over 2 miles. im trying to keep busy and go into studytime with a purpose and stay on task the whole time. but i do get overwhelmed with all the goals i set sometimes but as i take them one at a time it usually works out for the best. I have two companions. Elder Warner who is a really good missionary with a well rounded personality and then Elder Jones who i can only relate to Andrew. he is a super hard worker who still thinks the idea of getting married someday is kinda icky.. lol and you can tell that he has lived his whole life for the purpose of being a missionary. He is currenty the District leador for this swich and im the senior companion.. and I thank Andrew everyday for teaching me how to live with someone this focussed and dedicated. I love both of them and wouldn't pick any other companions to star off with for the world. Oh and i found out who my companion would have been had i reported on dec 1st and lets just say i wouldnt trade my first companions for anything .. lol i have some pictures with him that im going to print out and send home .. it takes about 7 days so dont be discouraged if you dont see them for a week or two :D -Con mi amor
