Sending You Your things this weekend

im alive and well in guatemala!  im not sure yet how the punctuation
works on this key board, so bear with me!  This place is a dream.  my
new companion is hermana schumacher, whom i already know, love, and
admire. The flight was good, no problems.  it was great to talk to you
(mom, dad, shane), and thanks for the suprise nickole/kristen.  
They fed us pizza when we got here late last night, and said we could wake
up at 630, and didnt have to come down until breakfast at 8, following
which we could rest untill 10.  i hadnt heard that word for 3 weeks.
the food hear is fantastic.  There´s a really great chef.  Elderes y
Hermanas are not allowed to sit by eachother during meal times.  I
think that is part of the "lock your heart" campaign. 
Kayla is here!it has been so great to see and talk to her.  Still crazy that we are
in the same place, but i love it.  i think the spanish will pick up
here quite a bit.  my teacher is strict, which i like, as far as
speaking spanish, but the whole atmosphere is more homey and
comfortable. 
 the night before we left the alarms in an entire room of
girls(17) went off at 1am.  it was the night of the walking dead as
girls crawled out in pj´s robes, with no makeup, hair done.....or
anything else that girls usually do before making going in public.  of
course no  one has phones to contact anyone, but a maintenance guy and
police finally showed up.  apparently it was a fluke, and we were able
to go back to bed.  
im really excited to be immersed in the culture
and language.  Theres even a temple right next to the mtc.  I think
one of the points of the provo mtc is to make you excited to leave.  i
liked it and learned a lot, but was thrilled to move on.  The more
difficult it was, the more i knew i was learning.  There are so many
more lessons to be learned than the language, and the lesson plans.
keep me updated on on thats going on at home and dont worry about
making me homesick by telling me good things that are happening there.
i love to here it but am thoroughly enjoying myself.  i cant wait to
start learning again..  
love you all!}<
