With Elder Cerrud, Andrew's companion from Panama
Guessing this is Guatamala City as it was provided by an MTC sister.
With his MTC companions, Elders Andreasen and Tarin
MTC District
This week has been supergreat! i actually have it pretty good in my house after i heard about other missionaries houses. Most important is that i feel safe because i live in this huge gated community. Oh and Wednesday we went to the capital to get my fingerprints and do stuff for the immigration, but then the zone leader gave me and elder cerrud a stove! So now i eat a huge bowl of oatmeal and honey every morning. Theres a bunch of fresh fruit that i can buy and use in the oatmeal every once in a while too. So Elder Cerrud is awsome! he is super good at soccer, and he is a really hard worker so he is showing me how its done! oh and hes about a foot shorter than me so that's fun. One thing about the mission i wasnt expecting was how much we talk to the investigators other than just teaching. I though we just went in, taught, then left, but elder Cerrud likes to talk and get to know them so that is good. Right now we have 5 progressing investigators, and had 4 at church sunday.
For pday today, it was SUPER PDAY so we went up to Santa Techla(by san Salvador) and played soccer in this arena thing. That was fun. From what i have seen, i probably will play soccer every week while im out here. I hope i can get better because i am terrible at soccer. I don't get much time to write actual letters and the post office is far from our house so it will be more of a challenge than in the CCM. oh yeah, mom i got your first letter you sent this week from like February, weird, but at least i got it. Wow time goes by fast!
Sweet! i got the pictures uploaded. I have those from the CCM, oh did you get the ones I've forwarded? like the big group pic and the pics from hermana garrido with our ccm district? I have a bunch more on my card I will send today hopefully. Its been nice getting pictures from you guys! Sounds like its getting close to sailing season with the wind and kites. Dad, you need to order those steering parts for the Cat! The rainy season should start soon here and it needs to because the air is dirty here.
Anywho i need to make sure this email sends with the picts. so i love you all! thanks for the support and prayers. i haven't had a problem with my health yet its all good. i feel blessed.
love ya! Elder Flake
