Hey! Things are starting to move really quickly here. Which is good. Im sick of the MTC and am anxious to get out in the field. I hear gunshots everynight!! And this is within my mission boundaries. Its funny because apparently we´re in the safest neighborhood in all of Guatemala... I was able to play three hours of basketball today which totally rocked! I miss everyone a lot. I´m kind of gravitated towards this Elder from LA. Really super good guy who I can relate to really well. Also very ahead in Spanish. He´s 3 or so weeks ahead of me which is a bummer but I´m sure we´ll keep in touch. We´re kind of locked up in here which isnt so fun but apparently in two weeks they let us go to the market and the city square and shop and talk to people, etc.
Everyone keeps asking me if they can write Courtney when they see my family picture. I have to remind them that she´s 14. Then they ask how old my older brother is... Ha. I hope everyone is doing well. Tell Jordan and Courtney they´re free to email me.
Heres my current address-- Boulevard Vista Hermosa 23-71, zona 15 Col. Vista Hermosa, Guatemala... I think thats it at least. The mail here is reliable so invite people to send me letters. Dearelder is also still a very good choice.

Oh and the guards carry 9MMs and shotguns. People literally walk down the streets with shotguns and rifles and stuff. and I saw a prostitute across the street. Let everyone know I appreciate the love and attention!!

Oh also, Ive been teaching my Spanish teacher English slang. Yesterday she said the word ´shades´and the day before that she said ´Permiso, I need to get out of yours guys grills.´ Its super funny. Also sometimes we´ll purposely whisper or speak super quickly so she has no idea what we´re saying. Thats probably the best part of the day other than Basketball. Oh and all we eat is beans.
