The mission life is crazy! So the day after we got here I got to meet my trainer and he is pretty cool. His name is Elder Caleb Joubert and he is from San Diego but went to BYU. That night we went out tracting and had a dinner appointment (which apparently a rare thing in my area) but we had these really spicy tamales haha. But it really hasn’t rained at all since we got here. But there is supposed to be a big storm coming up tomorrow that might put us on lockdown in our apartment! This week’s email isn’t going to be super long because I left my journal at home so I can’t really remember what to talk about, plus I left my camera home as well. But I did have to give a little introduction talk yesterday at church and it went surprisingly well. Although I can’t understand what most of the people are saying most of the time I could still feel the spirit at church pretty strongly. When we got to the stake center my first day everyone was saying that my bike was sweet and that they were all jealous of my seat haha. Our apartment is pretty trashy though. Its’ funny, I got some Christmas lights at a white elephant in the mtc so I set them up around my bed, but I don’t have any pictures for it. Sorry this email is short I know you all were expecting something big but there was a lot that happened this week and I can’t remember any of it haha. But one of the APs went to Bingham with me! His name is Tyler White, I didn’t really talk to him but it was really neat to see him at the airport when he came to pick me up. This week has been a fun week though. Haven’t really been homesick because there is no time to think about it haha. but there is no other place that I would rather be right now. te amo mucho. hasta luego. elder horrocks
