I love all of you so much! We got to go shopping last week for winter boots they finally got here yesterday and they were the wrong ones so we are going out again today! Its weird to leave the MTC but its kinda fun to experience it. Everyone stops us to talk and is super friendly.  I am loving it here. They set me apart as music coordinator for our Zone. I have to chase elders around and try  to get them to confess that they know how to play piano. i really wish I would have stuck with it! The schedule is pretty monotonous and the days are long but I am learning so much. MY companions and I are getting along great and I love my district. A lot of people are getting reassigned to other missions and it is making me nervous! One of my teachers is sick so we taught a brand new "investigator " he was kinda shy and not super excited but we had just had a lesson on Christ like questions and we asked a few that opened him up. I have had such amazing experiences speaking Spanish and just have words come that i didn't know that I knew but that's not always how it works. it takes a lot of work most of the time. i found out one of my companions is from Pleasant view and actually knew where Plain City was! it was awesome!!!! We are cleaning the temple today!.When I studied the scriptures I didn't get much from it before my mission. it was like having fuzzy glasses but now its like i have the perfect prescription I can remember where verses are and read and completely understand well not completely but a whole lot better than i used to!
I cant wait for Christmas here! They have had lights up since thanksgiving day! I wont be able to go to slat lake and see the lights but esta bien! I love being here and I am really enjoying this super hard experience. it is totally worth it!

I love you all!
