Alright everyone so somebody procrastinated the email and is spend running before pday ends. So my apologies, bare with me and next week will be better. Anyways. This week was good. I'm getting into the groove of things.. kinda. The language is coming. But I can't understand a lot of things, like if a woman is explaining that she stabbed her husband a few years ago and got out if jail recently, I just smile and nod not having a clue what's going on. Anyways, that's how it goes a lot of the time. They will be talking about some messed up things and then my comp says in english "we need to go" and I am always surprised to find out what on earth was going on. Something interesting happened back home this week. These whole two months I've been gone I get texts from my parents "Preston we love you so much, we are so proud of you." Well today I open my email from my mom to see that my room has been turned into a gym. Nothing like replacing your son who is serving a missions room with a treadmill to show you love him. And you know what's even better? I don't like running. But when I would run with my dad I'd beg for us to just get a treadmill so I could at least run in the air conditioning. But my dad laughed and told me to get over myself, that running outside was free and we get to enjoy nature. Well dad. What happened?? So yeah I'll be looking for somewhere to stay when I return home. Let me know if you have any ideas. Anyways.. one thing that is still there I noticed were my shoes. So that's good. At least they know better than to mess with my shoes. But anyways yeah, had to rant about that for a minute because I'm barely three months in and the renovations/changes have begun. Spiritual thought for the week. I had a lot of impressions just that I needed to speak this week. And I thought to myself like. What on earth, I can't talk worth a crap like why. But I did it. Felt the Spirit really strong. And then they would say "Que". Which is "what?" So yeah they didn't understand. And my comp had to explain it again which was fun but I'm glad I at least tried speaking. Anyways I hope you all have an absolutely splendid week. Little comment on the food. Not that bad. Just don't ask what it is and eat. I'm making it. And then.. there was a caterpillar in our apartment this morning. And I guess my comp hates these things more than me. So I had to be brave and sweep it into the trash. I'm becoming a man. You are all witnesses. Anyways.. till next week! -elder Monson
