Finally!

Hola 

How is everyone???  I am good   i am very homesick  but i should have expected it because i have the BEST FAMILY EVER!!!! its good to finally email home, its only been a little over one week and feels like forever! Probably because all we do is sit in a classroom as big as my room  alllll dayyyy it gets really tiring and boring and hard to stay awake. I am in a trio i dont know why. It is hard. one of my companions is hermana howell, she is 21. My other companion i really like, hermana reidhead. She is also from utah, she is 24 she went to dixie and says she recognizes kelci cause she lived in avalon, her first name is lexi. she is very nice. i just lost half of my email so sorry if there are missing parts. The food at the ccm (MTC) is pretty good, sometimes i dont know what im eating which is scary but sometimes the food is amazing. i told davis about my favorite thing to eat here (chocolate muffins with chocolate filling), ive only had it once though. Lunch is HUGE breakfast is tiny and dinner is regular. Usually meat with everything. The other day they served pallea or whatever and it had octupus and squid and clams and shrimp i tried the clams and shrimp not the other things, maybe next time i will be adventureous. They also have very good fresh fruit here. There are lots of languages taught here actually. ten italians were here for two weeks and left tuesday for the field and then another american group just left for spain, like my group. Right now there are two french couples here for a week and two portugal sisters and elders for three weeks headed to portugal. its always changing the teachers here are amazing. sooooo sooo soo nice. most of them are returned missionaries which helps. Our fake investigator belives in  the pope, so thats hard kinda. but i will study it out. on saturdays we go to the park for two hours to proselyte. i was companions with hermana holjholdt from denmark she was amazing i will explain later aboout the park becuase there is alot. I dont have stamps and dont know where to buy them but i bought some from sister packer cause she has some but not alot so i  will send a letter soon and then who knows when. we went to the temple this morning all in English, so pretty. it is beautiful inside and out. i am going to get fat because i eat a lot of food and not a lot of exercise. we get like 50 min for physical activity i played soccer and basketball but its hard  because the courts are so crowed with missionaries. there is an elder here that is 7 feet tall he dunked it six times the other day, his name is brandon morely he said he played in nebraksa but i think at like a smaller school. the weather here is perfect golfing weather, shorts and light jacket, ah perfecto. i wish i could go golfing.  we were gonna go get choco churros today but we have to get our identification cards instead we went last thursay but our visas arent until the 31 of jan so we dont get pday today or last thursdAy but at least we got the temple and email! i brought the wrong kinda batteries for my clock, and i wish i brought stamps and envelopes thats about it. my blow dryer doesnt work sad but my flat iron works great although not a lot of time because i sleep right up till 630 because i am so tired. i adjusted rather well to the time difference. just tired alllll the timeeeee. esta bien. they have vaccuums here for my vaccuum bags which is good. my mind is moving 10000000 miles an hour so sorry if i missed anything. i just am so excited to email because i miss all of you.  i feel like my spanish is progressing. i feel like im in miss lariveres class again, stinks because i want to learn. ask anything you want i will try to gather my thoughts better and i probably wont have as much to say because just classroom allllllllll weeeeeeek. i feel like i have been in here for months and months. well sorry if i forgot anything and if its confusing and i am typing really fast so sorryy about my grammer and spelling. love you all so mcuh i will try to stop being homesick praying for you guys and praying for golfing weather for you guys. go bombers. the church is true. read your scriptures say your prayers heavenly father loves you
