hey! Yea it was a pretty long traveling day. it was really funny when we got here, because i got off the airplane and then just a gust of humidity hit us, i was so sweaty, then these people that were speaking spanish, just started pointing to us where to go. I was so lost. then these little guys just started picking up our bags and loading them onto a cart and leading us through the airport. The whole time i was just praying that they were taking us to the right place, and not just going to steel our bags, haha. It all worked out good though. The MTC is right next to the temple, they share the same parking lot. Ther temple is Beautiful!!!!! I love it! Today was our first day going, and it was so awesome. We also went to do service today. We walked a couple of blocks to the university, and went to this park where there was hundreds of the college students just hanging out. It was a cool park, it reminded me of the park we went to in hawaii with that huge tree, and all those people selling pictures. We went there to pick up trash. haha, but right once we got there, everyone started yelling and about a hundred of them just strarted running, I DID NOT KNNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON!!!!!! I thought there was a riot or something. But then i asked someone if they spoke english and what was going on, and they said that their was a thief, and they were all running to beat him up. HAHAHAHAHA!!! If our country was like that we wouldnt need police. I thought it was pretty funny. Oh yea, last night was pretty funny too, it was about 11:00 o'clock, and i hear what sounds like lightning. So i didnt think anything of it, then they started getting louder, and closer together, then their were a bunch of them and they weren't as low of a noise, so i thought that the first ones were bombs, and now they were shooting guns. everyone was getting scared, and we all thought they were gun shots, and we cant see anything out of our window, because they are glazed, but all we could see was light. We were all in the halls trying to look, but we couldnt see anything. I was really scared, i didnt know what was going on. but then the Mission president came out and told us that they we just big fireworks, so everything is good. but it was pretty funny, we were all scared. Well the food is really good here, every meal is pretty much the same except for dinner, they usually throw curve balls at us for dinner. But for breakfeast its bananas and oatmeal. oh yea, ive grown to love bananas, because they keep me from having diarhhea. haha, thought you would like to know. umm, lunch we always have two meets which are chicken and beef, sometimes pork. They are soo good! and of course rice and beans. We always have the same two drinks, we dont know what they are, but one is red, and one is yellow. The fruit is amazing here! well i am short on time, i gotta go. Love elder hardy
