First Letter from the MTC 8/30/2012

Hey Everyone!

So sorry it took me so long to write. I have P Day on Thursdays, so that is when you can expect emails, or as long as I'm here in Provo. There shouldn't be any delay in getting to Guatemala because apparently you don't need a visa to enter the country so this time in 2 weeks I'll be there! Woo hoo!
So I love it here, it is very busy and challenging but I love it! The language is coming slowly but surely. I understand a whole lot more than I can say. I often feel like I'm in the "Peter situation" again from when I was a child. Pronunciation is a problem for me but I'm getting it! Guess what I can pray, bear my testimony and kind of teach in Spanish! Guess what they did to me my 2nd full day here! They gave me an investigator to teach in spanish!!!! Those monsters...haha jk. No it has been pretty cool, my companions and I taught him yesterday for the fourth time and he agreed to be baptized!!!! Too bad he's a teacher here and just pretends and served a mission so my guess is he has already been baptized, but hey it's still pretty cool.
I'm in a trio right now. There names are Hermana Morris and Hermana Fusi. Hermana Morris is from New Mexico and is kind of quiet but I really like her, we get along really well. Hermana Fusi is from California and she is Tongan, so in the words of a little black girl in Wal-Mart, "She got hair like me". We all get along great. It's been a blessing having companions I really like. I really like my district as well. The Elders are all very impressive and they keep me laughing. I made a baseball analogy to the gospel the other day and one of the Elders told me he loved me and then looked super uncomfortable cause you know, we are missionaries, and was like "in a completely missionary way!" It was rather funny in my opinion.
So they've made me coordinating sister, which means I am over all the sisters in the zone. So I get to go to lots of meetings and trainings! There are only 7 sisters but we got new ones yesterday and it was my job to tell them how things go around here, not like I've only been here a week to figure it out myself. But it's been fun, I like it!
Also you can write me using DearElder. com It's free and I get the letter the same day you send it! So use it while I'm here, though I really do appreciate all your letters. I got Mama's and the card Daddy snuck into my luggage, that was so sweet! Thanks! I also just got the Scribners letters and more from Mama and Daddy but I haven't had a chance to read them. Sorry.
Usually on P Days I get to go to the temple but my companion didn't bring here rec here so I couldn't go through so that was sad, but we'll get to go in next week. On Sundays we have a General Authority come and speak. This week it was Perkins of the 70. He talked about the conversion process and how we should be our first convert. His wife talked about how the most important thing is to love your investigators and your companion. I really enjoyed her talk.
They also have gym classes here in the mornings so I'm loving those!!! Oh and I've seen a ton of people I know, lots of friends from Dietetics, a couple people from Freshman year, some girl I don't know, but that knew Danielle....Isenhour I think? And guess what President Brock's son is in my zone, so that's cool. I also got to see Nalani on the day I did my service, so that like made my day!!
I love you all, sorry my time is short! I want you to know that it's challenging here but I love it! the spirit is super strong here and I'm glad to be here! I miss you all! Tell me everything about your life! How's work? How's Seminary? Rachel are you loving school? Dating anyone? Danielle, are you super busy? Anyways you're the best! You're letters are much appreciated! I love you!
