package recieved, thanks a lot for the sno cone stuff. after i polished off 3 bottles myself in the last week and a half or so i was getting worried about having to find more, so that package was truly inspired. everything is going well, other than my pants ripped da udder day. i was getting in my district leaders car to drive and they drive a little corola, so i had to step all the way down there and they split at the seam. the only thing i could think to do was wear my other pair the next day, and sure enough, they split that day, same spot. so without mom here to fix them im not sure what to do now. i guess just wear them until they fall off or wear off. i started making eggs benedict for us in the morning for breakfast, its better than toast. now i know why papa smurf whines about his egg pans so much. the only pan i have is convex, so the eggs just run to the rims and drip into the flame. i still can get a little bit to cook tho, so im not doing too bad. and i really dont know what eggs benedict is, im really just putting a fried egg between 2 pieces of toast. my pants are quite dirty, i have realized. when i rub them or scratch them, it brings the dirt to the surface, and it shows well. elder mullins (my district leader) and i spent sacrament in the spanish branch playing tic tac toe on them, but its hard to get it removed. ill wash them one day, but i need to sew them up first, so once they get sewn up somehow, ill dry clean them. my jacket and my pants dont even match anymore. i think its funny that you are happy for me that im not getting sick, because ive had the boo more here than in my entire life put together. 2 weeks ago i spent from 9.30 pm to 11.20 ish on the toilet, destroying it. i took a shower, its easier than wiping in this case, and got in bed, and as soon as i laid down i was up again for another go. ya ya, this is the US, but the food is still prepared the same :) my spanish is doing well. ive realized the difference between serving here and in native spanish countries. those elders come back accent perfect, while everyone here has the worst white accent ever (my companion included) one of my good friends elder simicich is from chile, and so the last 2 transfers i have gotten my accent pretty close to non existent. i can talk with everyone just fine, teach it all whatever, the only problem is when they say stuff back to me... there are like 30 different dialects here in spanish, 3 or 4 from each country, i wish they would all just speak normal spanglish. people who go out of the US only have to learn one language, here i have to learn a million, especially in harbor city where all the mexicans and chapines come. the chapines are the worst because in there (guatemala) there are like 23 dialects of just spanish, not counting all the indian ones people still use. thats ok tho, when i can finally understand them all i will know spanish pretty well. ok, thats about all for today, this is a temple preparation day so its on wednesday by the way. thanks for the packages.
