hello world! or more like the 7 people that actually read this...

anyway, LOTS of changes this week. first of all, my two companions moved up to the advanced spanish class, which left me to be a "solo" sister, which means that i'm the only sister missionary in my class right now! it's soo weird becuse i'd gotten so used to having them in class and i really miss them, but it'll get easier as i get used to it i'm sure. it's a little hard now though becuase it was so unexpected, and i now will always need to be with at least two elders at all times if i'm not with a sister, but i can already tell that it's all for the best. i have more experience with spanish, so i'm able to help the elders when they need it, and now that the class is smaller, i feel more comfortable being myself with them, so it's been a lot of fun. so yeah, it was kind of crazy, but i'm realizing that it's really helping me be patient and get used to the fact that i no longer have complete control over my own life...haha that's been a major theme for my first week here.

but seriously, this place is great. i eat extremely well, which is...good? haha. it's all buffet style, kind of like when i was at aspen grove over the summer, but on steroids cause there's so much stuff. what's really killing me is the fact that they serve dessert with every meal. it's so mean. i've finally gotten to the point where i can limit myself to one per day, but i'm still feeling a bit like a fatty, so we'll see if i cen get down to one a week eventually...but probably not.

and as for spanish...oh espanol. it's totally kicking my butt. it's probably not good to say that as a missionary, but it's true. it's such an awesome language, but i'm having the hardest time figuring out how to express what i really think and feel. ugh. so frustrating, but i know i'll get it eventually. sometimes i forget that i've only been here for a week.

well, sorry this email is a little pathetic, but i seriously have NO time to talk about everything that goes on here. i'll do better next time though and make an outline or something so i can fill you in on all the dirty (except not) details.

love you all,
please don't forget that i exist...k?
