Its so amazing here!!!!

The flight was horrible though! Hahaha it was overnight and it was 10 hours. I only got about 2 hours of sleep. But we got here and then we got into our rooms and got a companion. My companion is Elder Harding from LA. He's pretty cool, but of course we have some differences. (expected) haha.

I am currently so sore from playing soccer, and it is so humid here!! I love the weather though! I love it! I just get super sweaty super quick... bleh... Other than physical activity, we have just been trying to learn the language!  I know it's only the first week, and I feel like I am learning the language but it's getting frustrating. Three days in we were already expected to have a lesson with a fake investigator. En ESPANOL! And we have had the investigator every day of the week. It's just frustrating because I know what I want to say but we just can't express ourselves yet. The president here is pretty awesome.

There are about 20 girls, and 7 guys with the group that I flew down with. We are the first North American group to come to the Argentina MTC and then stay in Argentina! Kinda crazy! So a language rep. from the church was here for a few days to teach us a new type of language learning and curriculum. 

Today we get to go to the temple and I am so excited to see what it looks like!. The MTC is on the temple grounds! I didn't know that but it is! 

The MTC is really small and its pretty much the new natives (about 30 people) and then us (about 30) and then 5 people who have been here for three weeks now. We have only been in the MTC not anywhere else yet.  But that's pretty much it! It all seems like a blur and the days are just meshing together. All the North American guys are bonded pretty well. but we need to focus some more. All the Latinos and everyone are so loving. I just love that even though there is a language barrier we still have a love for one another. It's this gospel that does that for us, and its an amazing thing.

One of the days there was a stray dog and I couldn't help but to pet it, and it was a smaller one and really nice, but then the mission president's wife told me I probably shouldn't. I just cant help it...

I have learned Moroni 10:5 in Spanish. I have learned how to bear my testimony, and how to pray. Everything else is just new vocab and simple phrases. The most common words out of the North Americans mouths are, "Como se dice?"  Haha but that's a good thing.

The food is really good here. Meat with every meal!! And there have been a couple dishes with rice in them!

Since being here I have not had any problem with the living circumstances. I take one shower a day (suprise) haha but it's perfectly fine with me. They actually keep the MTC really spotless. We all have jobs to do to keep it that way!

I love and miss all of you so much! I miss laughing with you guys and just being with my family. I am happy to be here and I love it here but that doesn't mean that I don't miss you guys.

I love mi familia,

Elder Wolf
