I finally get to email!!! This is weird. I had about 15 emails when I got on. My companion is from Brigham City. I love my roomates though so its all good! One of my roomates is President Monson's neighbor which is cool. He tells us stories about President Monson you would never know. None of those in my district are in same mission. I know there are other missionaries here going to my mission but I have yet to meet them. Everyone in my district and zone are intermediate spanish so we are all about the same level which is good. We bore our testimonies and prayed in spanish the second day. It's easy though. I have seen SOO many people I know. From soccer and school. I saw elder Adams and elder Miles the first day. I saw elder Richards the first hour after he got here which was cool. My spanish really has come back to me for the most part. I can speak just fine now. We taught a lesson our third day and every day since then we have taught the same "investigator". I don't remember how to spell some things in english which is really weird. I was writing in my journal the other night and wasn't thinking and just happened to switch languages mid sentence. Also, I dreamed in spanish like the 2nd night! I have heard that is the turning point, and mine was early. The food is pretty good. I think my expectations were set too high from others saying it was so dang good. But I like it. My zone is really good at basketball so it makes it so much fun. I love gym time. One of my zone leaders was a back up running back for a D1 school so he's really athletic. He's also black so he's way good at basketball. I will for sure be here all 6 weeks. I am leaving on March 4th. I know that wont change because you dont need a visa to get into Honduras so there wont be any problems there. My teachers are amazing! I love them. One is from Guatemala so she knows spanish really well. The other is from Ephraim, Utah but he speaks really well. He went to Buenos Aires north just like Cody. The change from home to the MTC is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done. Once I got to Sunday, I started to love it here. It's way fun now. I love my district. We have 4 hermanas and 6 elderes. Which is a big district. But I love them all. Tell everyone thanks for me for writing me! Tell brother Tingey thanks and that yes I did see Nate. One elder in my district is named Elder Jensen and he is from Oklahoma. He reminds me of Georgia because they talk the same! It's weird. I called from the first day that he would be our district leader and I was right. I know that he was put into my district for a reason. He always brings a good attitude to everything we do and that is exactly what I have needed. I guess that's it for now. We only have 30 minutes to email here which sucks. But Mom can you send me like 8 more hangers? That would be so useful. I sent a letter yesterday saying everything that I would like you to send me but I forgot hangers. Thanks Mom! Tell everyone I love them!
Elder Buxton
I forgot another thing. We got to go to the temple today which was a relief. I also got my haircut... you would not believe how short it is. the shortest it has ever been. They would only use a 4 on the buzzer thing. Oh and for those of you who know Elder Dastrup, he has been here for 10 weeks waiting for his visa and I got to talk to him for a bit.
Also, go on LDS.org and look up the Honduras temple! It's absolutely gorgeous!!!
