First Week

Jaydan's first week was "freakin crazy" but he said it was in a great way. Of course it is hard but he knows that as long as he studies the Gospel the Lord will help him and bless him on the language and so he isn't worried. He knows that as long as he keeps doing what is right and follows the simple rules there (which aren't too hard) he will be blessed. Oh, and he also knows he needs to study diligently during his study time so that he is doing his part and he will receive the blessings of the language. (I say and be patient!)

On Saturday Jaydan and his companion will get to go out together proselyting for two hours. They go out as missionaries and meet people and talk to them in Spanish just like experienced missionaries do. They will get to do this every Saturday. Jaydan is really excited and can hardly wait. He is excited to talk with people and knows that it will be great practice for him.

Jaydan's companion is from Smithfield, UT. We saw him at the airport and he was the blond one. Jaydan said that they work well together. Like...when it comes to the Gospel and when they are doing Gospel lessons with the fake investigators they "kick the crap" out of them and teach the lessons really well together. "We mold good". When they are just together they have a few issues but they did sit down and talk together so they could get to know each other better and Jaydan said that was beneficial.

Jaydan said the food there in Argentina is pretty good, "not going to lie". At this point he hasn't really had anything that has grossed him out. Yep, he likes the food for sure, no doubt bout it.

Overall the missionaries are pretty cool and chill and the Latino's are pretty funny. The Latino's help a lot with learning Spanish because they know very little English, and Jaydan helps them because he knows little Spanish but help them learn English. So it works out great.

Corbato Fea which means "ugly tie" happens every Wednesday. A bunch of the Elders get their ugliest ties and put them in a bag and then take turns grabbing one out. Jaydan got the second ugliest tie which also happens to be a legend. He thinks it is pretty sweet and since he likes it he said he is popular and that is sweet.

That was all he could say in the time he had but he ended with "HOORAY FOR ISRAEL"

ps. "I am loving it because I am just getting the positive and forgetting about the negative."
