> Yo> > This week was great! Like always, right?> My mind can't really retrace back this week because I just barely got our flight plans! You don't know how happy I am.> Today has been good, we had study and breakfast, went to the temple, had lunch, wrote letters, took a 10 minute nap, and went to do laundry. Our DL got our flight plans right before we came to e-mail. So. I leave at 12:50 in the AM on the 4th. I arrive in Atlanta Georgia at 6:30 AM. Then I have a 4 hour layover til 10:00 AM and I leave to Costa Rica. The plans say I get there at 12:10 PM, which would seem to only be a two hour flight but I dont know the time differences. It would be cool if you could find out the differences and actual flight times for me and dearelder me. So yeah that's crazy exciting. > This was the first week with my new, new Companion Elder Munson. It went well and we taught Lesson 2 in Spanish along with the Word of Wisdom. Spanish is going well, but I feel like I only know Gospel spanish though, which might be great or might be terrible for when I get there. I feel like the only way now to progress in the language is being immersed in Speaking because I know the grammar, just need the experience.> The MTC is really dragging on. It's great and all and I appreciate it, but it's getting old. Maybe that is supposed to happen, but I can't wait to do things for real.> I haven't been playing soccer this week becuase I pulled my groin about a week ago. I've put on some pounds without that exercise; I'm like a total of 10 pounds heavier since the beginning.> I forgot to tell you last week that I bought a comb. Yeah, I really bought a comb.I am parting my hair now. Hahaha. It's just that I see the noobs with fohawks and stuff and think low of them, so I decided I should look more respectable and professional.> I would be lying if I told you I still enjoyed the food. But, I'm trying to be positive so that's all I will say about that. But... the skim milk here is bomb. I have had at least 2 cups of skim milk at every meal. Only healthy and real food here besides fruit. I think I have at least 2 or 3 bananas a day too. Im not so excited about rice and beans though. Hopefully I'll learn to love it.> These past days have felt a lot less productive because we have been over everything in Spanish and PME. I need to get some more fake investigators I think so that my study will be more focused. As for LInda nad Elizabeth in the RC, I wasn't able to contact them much after the emails. So they are gone. But we did start to do Spanish outbound calls for Book of Mormons, Joy to the World DVD's etc. That is terrifying, especially becuase I really don't know what they are saying.> That's about all. Thanks for everything!> Miss you all!> > -Harrison AKA Elder Smith> > > > > -> > LOVE YOU!
