November 28, 2011

this week was amazing. i feel really spoiled with my cambio. my companion is awesome he is so funny and cracks me up so much and is a really hard worker. the sector is awesome, it is in the city of Los Angeles and there are a lot of richer people but they are pretty nice for the most part. the ward is great and really loves the missionaries. the lunches here are the best i have had in my whole mission, this week for desert we had ice cream everyday. it is a little hot but being from arizona you get used to the heat. the only thing is that the ozone layer here is really thin and so you get sun burnt pretty bad if you dont use sunscreen. but everything is awesome, i couldnt be more happy. we live in a house of 4 which is also cool because in the morning you can go and play basketball which is pretty cool as well. so everything is great. today we played soccer on a full size field it was fun i am still not the greatest but it was a lot of fun. then we went and ate some huge hot dogs. i dont remember if i have already told you about chilean hotdogs or not, but they call them completos and they are really prideful about them. they put avocado and tomato on them and a ton of mayonesa and they think they are the greatest things in the world. they are pretty good, its kind of an interesting idea who would have thought to put tomates on a hot dog but it works out pretty well. its crazy that christmas is coming up, i totally forgot about thanksgiving until it was over, so we ended up not doing anything for christmas but it will be a lot of fun for christmas here. this week went by really fast, the time here changed so now it doesnt get dark until 9 so it messes me up because i always think it is earlier and they changed the schedule of the mission so now we have to get in the house a half an hour earlier. so all is well it was an awesome week, and we are going to try to make this one even better.

love
