My first week!

FAMILY!!!!!
I made it to my very first pday can you believe it?  i'm old now and new elders and sisters are now coming in!  where oh where to begin.  well first off they plan literrally every second of everyday here. you don't even have time to go to the bathroom!  At night I have to decide between reading my book of mormon, writing in my journal, or studying preach my gospel.  Ok they give us some free time but not very much.  My showers are like 5 mintues because girls are always waiting. anywho to start out, thank you so much for the package!!! I loved getting my pillow and it brought a lot of comfort for the first week., the treats are amazing and i've become everyones new best friend.  but then again they feed us every hour it feels like but either way i'm always hungry. 
So you guys dropped me off and I had to focus on not looking back cause i'd break down.  everyone was extremely friendly as I am the new person (dork dot).  they take me to this room I get a huge bag of wonders with every book you could possibly imagine for spanish and gospel help.  after I went to the room and being the first person picked the top bunk in the corner. I followed christine and put up tons of pictures.   I put my name tag on and headed to my classroom after.  Waling in with one elder, the instructor just starts rambling off in spanish.... oh boy what did I get myself into...  all I can do is smile and say sei/no.  after a couople of mins of confusion on my face he takes me to a computer lab where we take an evalutation about apropraite conduct in the mtc.  yes folks "jog dates" are not allowed with the elders.  I met my compoanion after.  her namem is ister aka hermana Redford.  She is 5.4, read headed, fair skinned.  she is extremely friendly but didn't talk much until we got to know eachother more.  she has a great sense of humor as well as keeps me in line.  So far we've gotten along great, I got extremely lucky.  having a cmopanion isn't nearly as bad as what I was expecting infact it's fun.  a funny story about her is when I saw her name next to mine as companions I already knew who she was.  on facebook I joined a page for argentina missionaries and she was listed.  so pretty much I stalked my companion before we were companions.  thank you facebook. you are wonderful.  there are 10 people in our district.  two sisters, are roomates (we thankfullly only have 4 in our room) Sister Millet (21 and teaches kindergarten) and sister gardner (19).
