This week has been really fun! I was really tired the first week because of the 8 hour difference and also since I was used to sleeping in until 11 every morning for the previous 5 months haha.

But after I wrote last week we got to go to downtown Madrid!!! It was so fun. I took some pictures if I have time I´ll send them today. But Spain is so great! I absolutely love the accent. Spain Spanish >>>> Any other spanish. I am really trying hard to pick up the accent speaking with the ¨th¨ sound. My spanish is going good when I teach lessons to practice investigators I can pretty much get across the whole message. I struggle here and there and I also struggle understanding people when they talk to me but that will come in time.

MTC is going good! We said goodbye to the Portuguese, Russians, and French (the one elder my companion haha). It was sad to see them go but it´s ok they all have the best testimonies and will be great missionaries. As those missionaries left we got a bunch of native Russians to replace them. They are all really intimidating because a few of them are 6´2¨6´3¨over 220 pounds I would say. And also they are Russian which is just scary, and the only time they laugh is when I try to pronounce their names... I haven´t played sports with them yet but I´m confident when I do I will establish my dominance over them lol. They speak a little English some better than others but it will be fun to get to know them!

But also I got a new companion when Elder Pien left. His name is Elder Moore he is great! He was in the provo MC for 2 weeks waiting for his visa.  But he finally got it and came at the perfect time!  If he didn´t come my companions would be two guys from another district.. So he came which is good!  So we teach practice lessons to investigators and before he came I would teach with two of the sisters in my district.  It was fun but it was just kind of weird to teach missionary lessons with my two female companions haha.  But now that Elder Moore is here I can feel normal when teaching practice lessons!

 So I´m lots of fun and today we´re going to go to a mall! I don´t know which  one but I´ll for sure take some pictures!  And i´m going to get my haircut for the first time today which is weird because I thought they´d make me cute it the second I got here.  I´m pretty sure right now I have the longest hair out of any missionary in the world.  Seriously though haha when I pull my hair down the front of my face it goes past my eyes haha so definitely in need of a cut.

But my favorite part here at the MTC is on Saturdays we get to be real missionaries! We go to the park and walk around and talk to people.  The park is unbelievably pretty it´s amazing.  It´s also so big there´s no way that I will be able to see the whole thing the 6 times I go to the park! So we get there at about 10:30 or 11 and we teach people until 12.  AT 12 all the missionaries at the MTC meet at one of the fountains in the middle of the park and we sing for about 15 minutes! It´s really fun!

I hope everything is going good for you guys!!
