I am so ready to leave the CCM. I hit my one month mark on Saturday. I can't believe I have been on my mission for an entire month already. It seems like it has gone way fast, but when I look back it also feels like it has gone real slow. I got some of my flight plans yesterday. I fly out to Peru on Monday. My flight leaves at 2:57 in the afternoon. I have a straight 6 hour flight to Lima. I am flying Trans American Airlines flight 961. I am supposed to get some more information and am supposed to email it to you Saturday night. I can't wait til Monday so I can leave the CCM.
I am glad to hear my friends are doing well. We are all experiencing the same thing so differently. Since it was fast Sunday, I got to wear the tie that Colby's mom gave us. It was fun to know that all of us were wearing the same tie. They were right, that tie is a small way to keep us all connected.
It sounds like you are working at least a little bit out in the barn, Dad. You better start cleaning it now if you want it to be clean by the time I get home. I know it will take you at least 23 more months before the barn is clean. It needs to be clean so you can remember where all your tools are because now I am not there to tell you where they are. :-)
The temple sounds amazing. You will have to tell me what you think of it. Dwayne will be a great Young Mens president. He was a great leader for me and he will continue to be a great leader for others. You will have to tell me who the new Young Mens leader is when you fine out.
Not much happened in the CCM this week. On Wednesday a huge storm came in. I have never seen so much rain in my entire life. The streets inside the CCM disappeared and turned into river. One of my teachers was walking home in it and took a video of the streets outside the CCM. There was about 18 inches of water running down the street. The best part of the video though was a man trying to bike through it. He was doing pretty well until he hit a deep part and went right over the handlebars into the water. It may have been rude of me to laugh at the video, but I needed something to laugh at to cheer me up.
I did get the doughnuts. They were really good. Thank you for sending them. Don't worry I did share my ''cookies.'' Even better than the doughnuts were, I got Kyle's letter he sent to me. It took just over 3 weeks to get to me. Yes, it was all in Spanish. It took me a little bit, but I was able to read it. It was fun to hear from him. I really enjoy getting letters and hearing from people.
For the first time, this Sunday I didn't even feel tired during any of my classes. Usually through at least one I struggle to stay awake. Not this week. I was able to stay awake the entire day. One of the lessons was a little bit about marriage which seemed kind of weird to me. We have only been on our missions for a few weeks and they are already telling us to get married. That is still a long ways away.
My Spanish keeps improving, I think. It is really hard and I need to just keep practicing. We started learning the subjunctive last week. It is really hard. I don't know if I will ever understand it. I can't wait until I can speak and understand Spanish just as well as English. It will be so cool when I don't have to sit and think how to translate every word and the language will just come out of my mouth.
Well, I will let you know all my flight information Saturday. I think my P-day in Peru is on Monday. So it might be 2 weeks before I actually get another P-day and am able to sit down and write you.
con amor,
Elder Karter Isaacson
