Whew! First week down in the offices. Did I ever think I'd have to say that? Definitely not. But its been hectic, its been exciting, its been fun, its been nonsense, its been wild--its been pretty awesome. The office staff is so tight, and my companion Elder Davis is way cool. He is so stoked when he hears about Tzutujil, which he says sounds like "a mix of German, Navajo, and Elvish." You guys would love him!
This week was a lot of learning the ropes--learned how to make phone calls again, how to text, how to type really fast--all of those important mission skills. :P And we've also gotten a little bit of working time in our area (to answer your question, Dad, we get teaching time from about 5PM to 8PM on normal days, but on divisions a little bit more).
Anywho its all been good. Still feeling a little overwhelmed, but that's not very important. Ive been grateful for the chance to get to know the Baldwins better, to see the mission, to serve in anything I can. It'll be a good six months.
I havent driven yet! haha. its actually quite a shame, the car has been broken for the past few days. but hopefully tomorrow ill start. traffic and driving in guatemala is "not for the faint of heart," as President says, so itll be...interesting! haha. By the way, i think the rest of the world does call them transfers, but spanish doesnt have a word for that--so we call them changes! its funny how it works out. same with divisions, i think theyre called exchanges in the states.
Really quick note--President did give me the ok-go on BYU, I'll be heading home exactly one month before my release date, which is eitherSept. 17th or Sept 22nd.
