Uno Mes!

It has already been one month out in "the field"! time flies when you're speaking very broken spanish. Things are going super great! We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our bestfriends on sunday! Most of them are going to Argentina. It was hard to say goodbye because they were our first friends here, and now we don't have anyone to hang out with. We all hung out with them on Sunday and just partied, traded ties, climbed some palm trees, just the usual.

I am now one of the oldest missionaries here, so I look down on all the 14 year olds getting here this week. just joshing. I had to give new elders a tour of the ccm and that was interesting. Half the elders looked like they were straight outta 9th grade. and the other half were 23 and looked like they had a wife and 2 kids. I almost asked them what there 401k was looking like. But it's all good, They're half decent at volleyball which is a must. I warned them about the cockroaches, black mold, stray bullets, bird flu. just the basics. I ́m recognizing more and more people here from la fábrica(the factory aka utah) and so I at least have some people to talk to (and flex my superior spanish skills)

We had the opportunity to teach a RM on Skype the other day, only in spanish, and he spoke very fast! It was hard to talk to him because whenever we would say anything he would just laugh and we got really discouraged because of it. But it is all just getting me ready to be out in the field.

Other than that, that's basically it. Just J chillin here in a bubble in the middle of the Ciudad. Waiting for that earthquake to hit or another convict to hop the fence. I ́m still killing it in volleyball, so as long as that is consistent Elder Barlow is good

Love you all!
