This week has really been a blur. With my birthday in the middle, and all of the constant work, it has been good. Still don't have my bag yet but i heard that it is in Europe at the moment, most likely in London but I am hoping it gets here some time. I found out this week that we are moving tomorrow, not very far but it is a much nicer apartment than where we are right now and I will get a hot shower, oh how i have missed those.
My language skills have been progressing quite a bit. So much so that yesterday during a district meeting i was asked to pray in spainish and i had to think about each word i wanted to say before i could say anything. writing and reading english is not bad but when it is Gospel related, I cant speak english.
One thing I did not wright about was my companion, Elder Alvarez. He is from Ecuador and he actually speaks english really well. He has to translate for my sometimes but when we are at home we can speak english so I can communicate more effectively. He is very patient with me and is one of the big things that keep me going most days.
I have had a cough since i got here and finally went to see the mission doctor. he gave me a prescription and it has been helping but it is not completely gone quite yet. Adjusting to this heat and different environment has taken a lot but i am not too worried about it.
For sending stuff, it will go to the offices at
MISION MEXICO TORREON
CALLE ENESTO BREEDE #301 COL.
AMPLIACION LOS ANGELES C.P. 27140,
Torreon, Coahuila
They will get it to me eventually. And you can send letters by fedex i believe though i will just respond via email (I can right an email for G&G Hokanson and you can send it to them) since i am not sure how realiable getting stuff out of mexico is.
Love you guys,
Elder Hokanson
