Hey everyone! I hope this letter finds you well. I dont have much time to email but I will let you know as much as I can. My companions name is Hermana Garces and she literally lives like 2 min away from us. You guys will have to get together with her family. We are so similar it is FREAKY. I love her so much. This past week has literally felt like a year in itself. We are constantly speaking spanish. The hardest part is that we are learning spanish... IN SPANISH. not a whole lot of english is used to teach. We had to give our first lesson on the second day we were here. We didnt even get to change out of our clothes... its straight to work. I just have to remember not to get frustrated with my spanish... it will come. So there are about 60 people total here. Over half are latino elders and the rest are gringos... or americans. We are the only 2 american sisters though... there are 4 other latino hermanas though. I couldnt email yesterday because we recieved a whole bunch of missionaries from venezuela. Aparently they pulled out all the missionaries that werent natives because things are just so bad. Coming here though I have taken on a whole new perspective. Our roomates are 2 hermanas from argentina and bolivia. They really dont have much. Today one of them went through the temple and so me and hermana Garces did her hair and make up and let her use our clothing. She literally felt like a princess. I love it here though. My distict is amazing!! Two girls and 8 Elders. We all just love eachother!!! It kinda feels like EFY but on steroids. Oh but the food is killing me.... lets just say I have lost 7 pounds already. Good news though!!! We can recieve packages in the MTC!! So if I could have like 20 bottles of digestzen capsules that would be great!! Ya so just send the packages to the MTC they should get here!! I would love anything!! Oh there is so much to say. I love a mission. I love being an hermana. I just hope the language comes sooner.
Well I love you all so much and I can feel your prayers keeping me going.
Love
Hermana Cook
