Out in service :D

Today was the first day of door to door and it was so awesome!! Although I had to learn the Culebra(I learned how to spell it!!) walk!! It's so so sloooow but I soon understood why. It's because it gets very very hot(102 but, felt like 100bazillion out) and when you walk slower you don't get as hot. Also they don't have a lot of territory :( We also aren't allowed to go to the doors so we have to stand either outside of the gate or the door and yell "HOLA" as loud as you can so that the householder can hear you. It does make service hard though because I'm not learning Spanish as quick as I would like but I am sure soon I will get it down. One of the Elders keeps telling me he is going to stop speaking in English so that I will learn faster, but he doesn't because it only frustrates both of us haha and his wife finds it very funny!! They are a very nice couple and both started regular pioneering so I have a feeling we are going to become BEST friends :D They already are making plans and other days for service and also just fun things to do with the hall!! Like this Saturday we have hall clean up and after were all going to the beach and sometime within the next few weeks were going to go to the main island (Puerto Rico) and go to the caves and the rain forest. The brothers say that it is a very long hike in there but once your there its very breathtaking :D I can't wait and am soooooo excited!! I love everyone here!! Well I better sleep have alot to do tomorrow. Night.
