Hola everyone!
Bienvenido to my weekly email that I will try to send once a week. This week I got set apart as a missionary for la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias! I started online training to learn more about the gospel and to learn Spanish.
The schedule was pretty rigorous, getting up at 6:30 and working out, doing an hour of personal study, eating and then sitting in class from 9-1. After that I would have a workshop with 300 other missionaries from 1-2, and then I would have a two hour break in which I would study with my companion. After that I would have another class from either 4-8 or 4:30-8:30 (if it was the former it was because we would have a devotional from 8-9:30 afterwards). And then I had time to see my family and eat dinner before going to bed at 10:30. After that schedule it was pretty easy falling asleep.
Now let me tell you about my comp and brostrito. My companions name is Elder Cottrell, he is an absolute legend. He lives in Omaha Nebraska, but for the past year he had been attending BYU. We have similar interests and we work well together, we get our assigned tasks done with focus and efficiency while also having fun. Now you may be wondering, "what in the world is a 'brostrito'", well let me tell you. It is what I call my district (the group of missionaries I will be with for the next 5-6 weeks of training). I am in an all guy's group, 12 of us, and it is so much fun. When you are in a all guys district you call it a brostrict, but since we are learning Spanish, district means distrito, hence the brostrio.
Next week I will fly out to Mexico to keep training, I am super excited to go and meet my comp, Elder Cottrell, and my brostrito!
