(Can you forward this to everyone in my contacts? Also, can you add the people that want my emails to my contacts por favor?) :)
Oh my goodness everything sounds so exciting back at home! I am so excited for Robby! (Robby is Tyler's cousin who just received his call to serve in the Portland, Oregon Mission.) Tell him congrats for me and that I love him and know he will be such an amazing missionary. Sorry, this hour for emailing is like the most stressful hour because we have to read everything, and write, and upload photos, and everything, so we are all writing very fast and have a lot of mistakes in grammar and such. But, concerning emailing, I can write anyone and they can write me, so it's ok to give it to people.
Thank you for sending that stuff for me though! I wasn't able to check the price of the pants today because the DC (Distribution Center) was closed. But I won't need them until I get out in the field anyways. Also could you send me my other Called to Serve red journal and also a picture book with pics of our family and stuff. I can't believe I forgot to bring pictures!
Things here are going a lot better though. These first two weeks have flown by so fast I cannot believe it. This morning practically all of the missionaries left for the field. There are only 12 missionaries here until more latinos and other missionaries come tomorrow.
Today we went to the Bogota temple again! It was so awesome! And so hard because we did it in Spanish! It was hard to understand, but it went good. After the temple we had our "cultural experience", immigration. It was soooooooo loooooong. We waited for 3 and half hours to get our visas and passports and such approved. My head hurts so bad right now because we didn't have water. But, afterwards, we went to SUBWAY!!! Oh my goodness that was the best subway I have ever had! It was the best meal I have had since being here actually! We almost got to go to Burger King but then we ended up not because traffic was crazy... it made me sad... But subway was great!
So, traffic here is so crazy! There are lines and such for lanes, but nobody uses them. It is basically a sea of cars and motorcycles. There are a TON of super nice motorcycles down here! It´s crazy! Anyways, so basically traffic works like this: if you can fit, you can go. It´s quite exciting riding in the buses and vans around here I´ll just say that haha.
Anyways, my toe is doing a lot better! The nail is still on my toe. I don´t dare clip it off. But I was able to play basketball yesterday without too much pain! Except for when they dribbled the ball onto my toe... Still no soccer though :( Probably not for a while...
Oh! I found another scripture I really like! Matt sent it to me and it made me cry, but it gave me strength because this has definitely been the hardest thing of my life. It´s Moroni 7:33. When I read it I wanted to put that one on my plaque but I think I will stick with DyC 11:21. Spanish is coming a lot better. Elder Glauser and I have been able to teach our "investigators" with a lot more power because we are learning quite quickly actually, which is a huge blessing. Oh! This last friday we went proselyting for the first time! It was so fun and interesting! We got 6 referrals! It was fun. Anyways, yeah, the Spanish is coming along great. Right now the toughest thing is figuring out when to use por or para haha. Matt and Bryce will understand I think. ;)
Well I don´t have too many pictures to send this week because the only time we really get to take pictures is at the temple on p-days, and today we didn't really have p-day because of immigration. But one is of a picture I started to draw on the plane ride here and I finally finished it Saturday. And then there are just a couple from the temple and stuff. One is in the bus last week on p-day and one is from today at immigration.
A side note about p-days, I think they are placed every other Tuesday and Thursday because of transfer times and such but I really don´t know. And I will probably have a different emailing time each week so I don´t know when I´ll be on email or not.
Well I love you guys so much! Thank you for your love and prayers and support! This is very challenging but I know that with your love and the love of God I can do this.
¡Animo! ¡Exito! ¡Trabajo!
¡Paz fuera!
Love,
Elder TJ Tyler T-rex Jesse Tommy Ty Oobie Doob Scoobie Doobie Banoobie Hales ;)
