Hard Time Adjusting

Hey everybody hows it going? thanks for writing the letters I haven’t gotten any yet but thats because pouch mail takes a long time. I don´t have much to write about because its the CCM, I have two Guatemalan room mates that are the best. Elder Rodabough is awesome companion and a great example to me. Today we got to go the Lima Temple today which was great but a really different experience for me. The session rooms are tiny they only hold about 15-20 people. Afterwards we walked home and picked up some scripture cases and drinks. Lima is different, its all really poor, everybody drives crazy, there’s porn everywhere and the sun doesn´t come out here that much because of the pollution. Walking back was the highlight of my week, its probably been the most challenging week of my life, the spanish going great, the teaching is too. I´m doing everything a missionary should do but I’m feeling just the opposite. Its been hard to stay focused and to find the desire to keep going sometimes. I´ve had a hard time adjusting to the culture and this lifestyle. I never thought things would be they way they are. Nothing i could´ve done in mission prep, at home or anything period could prepare me for the things that are happening right now. I don´t have much time to write every body. Thanks Mack for the letter it was great to hear from you. I want to finish by telling you all that i love you and miss you a ton. Thanks for supporting me and being a part of my family. Hope you´ll be home tonight because i think you might be getting a phone call from me

Just some more I forgot to write about. The spanish going good, we´re not permitted to speak english when we're around teachers and can't with the latinos so to say the least I'm learning fast. We have to teach one of the lessons 2-3 times a day in spanish and thats really hard to do but we're learning a lot. I hate the food here, we have some dry beef 2-3 times a day and rice a guaranteed 2 times. I've got the runs, if you know what i mean. I'm pretty sure i've dropped 10-15 lbs so far (so much for what happened at provo) . I'm just not hungry for the food here and its always the same and what they do serve doesn't really put meat on your bones, because its rice. Saturday we get to go out tracking with a local, who will most likely be a deacon so there's not a lot of help with the deacon part. I'd write more but my time is officially up now.
