January 20, 2014 - Letter to Dad - Week 20


Hey Dad!! 
How´s it going!!  Sounds like the training thing is doing good!  I tried like a mini sort of diet this week since it´s too cold to do any serious exercise outside and it worked out good!  I almost starved to death because I had nearly no food, but I lived this past week eating only fruits, veggies, and a little bit of fish at the beginning of the week!  But it´s so expensive!  I swear eating healthy is pricey here!  I went back to buying normal not as healthy food this week and it was like nearly half the price!!  So that´s a bummer, but I´ll figure it out!  
The bags are going great!  I don´t use the brown bag as much anymore but I still love it!  I have a black bag that is about  a third of the size of my brown one, maybe less!  It´s really small and really European ( which means like kinda feminine) but it works perfectly so I use it!  It was Elder Sargents, but he couldn't fit everything inside so it´s mine now!  And he´s up north so he can´t take it back haha.  I trade off just with how much I have to carry and stuff.  
Sounds like everyone is training for this triathlon thing!  Is Kara doing it too?  Man that sounds fun!  I wish I could join! hahah  
It´s been such a cold rainy week!  And when we need to be out on the streets contacting people it gets roughhh!  Thank goodness we had a decent amount of lessons.  Also one of my good friends came here for an exchange with me, so that was a fun day!  We are both fairly new so it was an adventure with spanish!  I really find it fun when me and my companion don´t know spanish!  It´s just kind of like well here goes nothing and we just sort of laugh our way through the day!  But like us two this week even with our spanish got a TON of references this past Thursday!  Well not like a TON but I think it was 8, which is really good for one afternoon working and lessons included!  
Dang 80 degress sounds amazing!  I feel like my weather is just way off and I´m going to get back and be dying of heat in like 70!  And I laugh because Kendal is in 70 and she is freezing to death!!  It´s all funny!  
So I´m excited to hear about this superbowl!  Could you send me the celtics record?  I´m curious if they are sucking it up or actually playing decent!  Oh and my companion is a celtics fan too!!  That was a cool thing we found out this week!  We are doing good!  Sometimes it´s frustrating not being able to talk freely because I don´t know a ton of words, but we make it work.  And there are plenty of culture differences, but it´s all fun!  
Minus the cold I´m having a good time here!  Well gotta go!  Have a good week! Love You!
Nathan
