Guatemala!

Hola familia!

 I am safe and sound in the MTC in guatemala! we flew all night and neither my companion or i slept very well. i probably slept about 4 hours on the plane. which considering, isn't that bad really. we got here at around 5:30 am, and had to fill out some forms so that we could go through immigration and customs. 

        When we finally made it outside, they herded us to a school bus. :) the drivers  here are super crazy. haha. i guess not quite as crazy as i've heard  in other countries, but no one slows down to let you in, and the bus driver just made his way in even though there were cars where he was  trying to go. somehow we made it with no accident. haha. but i was seriously amazed at how crazy everyone drives. and that they were all out and driving and at work at like 6:30 am!

         Then, when we got here,  we met all of the nortes (that´s what they call us here. the north americans. or nortes), and we took our luggage to our rooms, had breakfast, and they let us nap for about two hours. breakfast was really good. :) i wish i would have taken a picture of it, cause it

was way different food than i've ever seen before. eggs and potatoes cooked together, a spicy sausage, a super good homemade roll, and this like milky oatmeal with cinamon on it. :) i couldn't eat it all, but it was really good. i'm going to make sure not to take as much food next time. then, we slept for a while, and brushed our teeth and went straight down to start our classes and stuff.

      My other companion's name is sister davis, and she actually was the one on the flight withus last night. :) she's from kaysville, and she came straight from home like the rest of our district. the teachers and mtc presidency speak english, and they're very nice. :)  the people are so so so nice. They gave us a challenge to sit by latinos at dinner, so we're going to try to get to know some other sisters even though there's going to be a huge language barrier. haha. i can already tell that this is going to be a huge blessing in my life. i'm scared out of my mind that i'm not going to match up, but i know with the lord's help, he will bless me to learn this language quickly, so that when i start teaching real people in six weeks, i will be able to do so correctly. :)  i love you!
