Yeah I'm sorry that I don't write a lot to you. I just have 45 minutes to email and I do email other people. I just haven't had time to set up a string mail thing just yet. And I honestly forget what happens during the weeks because everyday is just so similar.
My companion Elder Holder more or less hates me right now though. And its really strange because I have no idea why. I've asked him about it all the time and he just doesn't talk to me anymore. So with just a couple of days left till we leave I'm honestly not too worried about it. Like it's sad that we don't get along and there is no Spirit around us unless we are teaching. So that's something new.
The meals are really different and some aren't that good but I try them all at least. My favorite now is salad. I eat a ton of salad and rice. The meat they serve is usually hit or miss.
I am getting really excited to leave. Maybe that's why Elder Holder is made at me. Because he is terrified to leave and I'm really not too worried about it because I know Heavenly Father has my back. And he just doesn't get that all you read about in the scriptures is exactly that.
It wont be a big deal if I don't get the cd player. I'm sure I can find one at my actual mission. I just don't have anywhere to go here. The boundaries around the CTM are super tiny and we don't have much of an area to walk around. Please don't feel bad about not sending me as many packages!!! It is totally fine!! I'm not worried about that. I know that I am loved.
I try to speak Portuguese all the time and usually I can. But its just hard to talk about not gospel related things. Because that's all they teach. So I have to learn that stuff either by myself or out in the field. But before I forget I've lost 12 pounds!!!
I love you Mom. I think I cry every time I write you. Everyone laughs at me but I don't care. Something I forgot to mention in the previous email was that I leave this next Tuesday and so I won't have P-day on Wednesdays anymore so I wont email till the next Monday probably.
I love you Momma. Rex
