Hola! Things are going pretty good here. On the first day, we went
into our classroom and the teachers just started speaking straight Spanish at
us and I really didn't know what was going on. Most of the stuff they were
saying was just going straight over my head. Yesterday, we taught our first
investigator. The sisters came back and said she was real nice and let them
right in. When we got down there, we
couldn't remember how to ask to come into her casa, so we basically just stood
out there for five minutes it felt like an eternity.
We then just tried starting the lesson from the door finally she
let us in. It went a little better once we got in, but she only spoke Spanish
and we really didn't know what she was saying most of the time. Later that night, I started to understand a
little bit of what the teacher was saying so that was "Bueno". Days have been long and we are pretty much in
the classroom all day. We didn't have exercise time on Wednesday or Thursday,
but Friday we finally got it and we have it at 2 pm, so we get a break in the
middle of the day which is nice. We played basketball and I still got it... I
was making it rain threes (Ha-Ha) My companion is Elder Calico. He is from
Maryland and is always giggling, but we have a good time joking around. The
other elders that live with us are Elder Spears and Elder McKee. Elder Spears
is our district leader and is from Utah and Elder McKee is from Texas. We have
a pretty good time together. We are the only ones on our floor so we have the
bathrooms and showers all to ourselves. We are just trying to enjoy that while it
lasts. The food is pretty good for the most part. We eat meals with our zone is
what I think it's called. There's a thing
called dearelder.net and you use my address and you can send an email to that
and then it will be sent to me that day in mail form. Saturday is my
preparation day so that is when I'll be emailing.
Love,
Elder Thackeray

P.S. It is weird having to have your Companero with you all the
time (haha) but I'm sure I will get use to it.
