Oct 7, 2014


So to start off I have some bad news.  I have broke 170 pounds. I am so fat. No wonder everybody says they fatten you up in the MTC.
I could understand some of the words of the Spanish speakers during conference but not all. I thought that was amazing that they could speak their native tongues. I listen to the sessions at the temple in Spanish, and I speak in Spanish too. It is so cool and hard. 
Now I don't have much time because they are real time/email Nazis here. So far it has been a great time. I have met a lot of new people and made a lot of new friends. I went on a tour of the city today with my district and we bought soccer jerseys because you can't live in South America without one. I went with a Messi red and blue Barcelona jersey. If you would like one, they are about $24 bucks or so in American dollars. In Bolivia though they will probably be a little less because it is the poorest country in South America. The weather is always overcast but never rains. We have had one or two bad days but that is it. There is too much to describe about the food. Like in the Book of Mormon how that have too many words that won't fit on the plates of Nephi, same here. It is pretty good though. I can't wait, however, to get in the field and do my own laundry and make my own food. That is the report for now and I will be sending pictures once I'm in the field because it’s just easier out there. I love you mom. I take notes on everything. Every devotional, Conference talk, and meeting. I feel the spirit in the words and I write what is important to me. I will try at least a couple of times to give you guys my testimony. Until next Friday the 17th. 
Love always, 
Elder Jones
