¿A qué pasa, calebaza? - CCM

WhAts up fam, this is Elder JEnkins coming at you with anOther weekly update! This week was stellar as all of them are. quick question, who would win in a fight, Tony the Tiger, Cap´n Crunch, or Lucky the Leprechaun? we were arguing about this amongst the district, and my bets are on Tony because how many tigers have pirates killed, especially tigers that are smart and have great sportsmanship? and Lucky has magic, but its all defensive and evasive magic, so I don´t think he would have much offensive power against a tiger. but send me your rebuttals. 

This week I have learned a lot. Spanish became a lot more difficult to progress in, and stuff stopped making sense. also I'm tired one hundred percent of the time so that doesn't help me when I'm trying to focus. but I kept working hard and its turning out all right. Its crazy that I'm only going to send one more email from here until I get to Argentina. I'm stoked to leave, but I'm nowhere near prepared enough.

Cool experience from this week, One morning we got up early to run, and when we came back to shower, the water was freezing cold. We were all a little upset by it, but we carried on with our day, peeved at our cold shower. Elder Kotter was getting some toast at breakfast, and started talking with some new Elders from Haiti. Kotter told me that when he was putting Nutella on his bread, the Haitian elders were surprised and shocked by it. They were amazed that they could put their own nutella on their own bread and eat it, and that they could have as much as they wanted. Kotter shared that in our testimony meeting that night and it kinda put a lot into perspective. We were bugged that morning that we had a cold shower, and these Haitian elders had so little back home that they were amazed and grateful that they could have nutella on bread. So crazy. We started sitting with them and talking with them more, and they're really cool guys. They speak French and Creole, and a little bit of english and a little spanish, so basically our only real form of communication is the little bit of spanish we know, and the little bit of english they understand. It's super cool talking with them though, their home lives are so different than ours. Their dream jobs are being construction workers, and I cant handle a cold shower. Crazy. They're really cool guys and we have a cool handshake now. 

I don't wanna make this too long, but just know I love what I'm doing right now, and I don't want to be anywhere else. I love and miss you guys, and I know this church is true. Read your Book of Mormon, it's awesome.

Hasta luego, mis estrellas.
