FINALLY IN CÓRDOBA (kinda) - {Catamarca}

Whats up everyone! Sorry I couldn't write last week, our P day was right when I was traveling, so I never got the chance, and Ill probably forget a whole bunch from the past two weeks, but its good to finally write! My P days are on Tuesday now, just so everyone knows.

Conference was dope, I hope you all got the chance to watch it. It was such a good sendoff for the weekend right before I left for the field. It was a little bit tough saying goodbye to the people, but I was ready to leave. 

Here is a brief summary of my sleep schedule the days leading up to and including my travel:

The hermanas in our district had our roommates change our clocks, so when Elder Kotter and I got up to go on our daily run at 5:30, it was actually 3:30, so we got pranked hard, and when we got back to the casa and realized we had been pranked, we were demolished and couldn't sleep. A couple days later we woke up at 4:30 to leave for the airport, then headed to Buenos Aires! everything went well, I didnt sleep on the plane, we landed, had some food, then at 3:30 when we finally could go to sleep, we found out we were leaving the hotel to go to Cordoba at 5:30. so We got as much sleep as possible, then left for the airport again, landed in Córdoba, and met everyone!

This mission seems so so so cool, Ive met a ton of cool people here. I'm loving it, and Elder Kotter and I both thought it felt like home when we finally got to Córdoba because its been such a process getting here. I got assigned to my first area and my first companion! My comp is Elder Farfal, from Chile, and he speaks no English except for a few phrases, so I'm gonna need to learn Spanish really fast! We are serving in Catamarca, which is an area really far from the city of Córdoba, but its really cool. I finally got a somewhat decent amount of sleep on the 6 hour bus ride to Catamarca at midnight to 6:30. 

This week has been a lot of orientation and getting to know everyone, I have so much to learn here but it's been really cool, and my Spanish is progressing pretty fast. I still have no clue what anyone says, but I can talk with Elder Farfal pretty well. I honestly love it here so much. It's sick. I'll send more specifics in following weeks but for now just know that I love this Gospel, I know it's true, and I love Catamarca and all of you guys! Talk to you again soon!
