elder jones is in the house

the ccm is so crazy guys i cant believe that it's already been 11 days! im ignoring all grammar rules because i have like no time and i need you guys to hear what has happened. so basically first off im our district leader i got assigned (not called) on the third day or something and my district has 8 people. were the only district in our zone thats intermediate so thats pretty cool too. the very first night i was like super homesick but now i feel like ive adjusted pretty well and things are going good for me. p day took FOREVER to get here but the schedule isnt too bad, just super routine and long days and a lot of class. we speak in spanish pretty much all the time and half the time i speak english i have a spanish accent. ive already memorized 3 nefi 5:13, moroni 10:4-5, invitacion bautismal, nuestro objetivo, marcos9:23, y juan 3:5. and probably some other stuff but anyway weve already had SIX lessons with our first investigator named santiago (he's actually hermano acosta our afternoon teacher) and we have two more starting tomorrow. there hasn't been a single meal that i havent eaten which is crazy but they have a pretty good balance between mexican and american food, just enough breaks to get us by. the weirdest thing we ate are called fritos bautizados and basically theyre like soggy doritos with feta cheese on top, but the weirdest part is that THAT WAS A BREAKFAST FOOD but dude i ate it and it didn't taste terrible so i considered it a success. yes i got your package but i haven't gotten any letters yet, ill try and send one soon just to see how long it takes. but thank you guys so much my whole district was so stoked about the eggs, i got the package on monday btw. uhh what else we have gym time like every day for an hour before or after lunch and we lifted weights the first few days but now romero and i just play ping pong and we're actually like some of the best players. its so crazy how fast were learning the language, hermano vargas is our morning teacher and he's literally like the best person on the planet he's so hilarious and good teacher and it's just great. today we went to the temple which was the most spiritual temple experience ive ever had. it was so pretty and im gonna send pictures here in a minute, i think i'll just send them in the group email though for time's sake. but we used the head phones and everything but had to go through the veil in spanish which was interesting. uhh im not sure what else to write about right now i forgot my journal in la casa so im going from memory. ill see if i can share more in the group email! but i love you guys so much and i miss you lots and i hope youre having fun in texas because mexico is legit!!!!!!!!!!
