THE ONE WHERE TOILETS REALLY DO FLUSH THE OPPOSITE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUATOR

HOLA HOLAAAA
Sorry I didn´temail last week buttttttt...YA GIRL IS IN FREAKIN URUGUAY NOWWWWW!!!! Yall it´s COLD haha but its actually so pretty here and its...well the sky and the fields are anyways...the town is pretty dirty but its great here! So my first area is called Lascano! its super super campo here (basically the land of the yee yees) so where its less populated it´s super pretty! Also something really cool, since my first area is Lascno, its on the boarder of Brazil,and we have go to brazil every week for district meetings, which is super duper awesome because i basically have 2 countries in my first area!!!

So far, the spanish is HARD. My trainer said I´ve been doing REALLY REALLY well with the language! She said that thefact that i can actually contribute and be part of the lesson is very suprising for an oro (a new missionary in the field) Speaking isn´t actually too hard for me except for remembering the -SH sound in words where that´s nessecary, its understanding the people thats super hard...so you know how sometimes when you go to the southern states and the southern accent is so thick its a little hard to understand at first? Well here that is exactly what it´s like haha so i cant understand everyone yet haha but i can understand a few people for sure! ALSOOOOOO We have a baptism supposed to be happening on the 6th!!! which is super exciting for this area because this area never ever gets baptisms! we also have 2 more lined up for the following week on the 13 but one might fall through because they still havn´t gotten married yet, but you guys we have so much potential here its amazing!! the branch that i´m in only has like 4 members, but we got 14 people to come this week!!!! THAT´S SO HUGE FOR THIS AREA!!!

Also the food here is super yummy haha we dont really eat a whole lot because we have to travel so much for conferences, meetings, and soon all my residency stuff, but the members feed us a lot of food when we have lunch with them so that´s super awesome!! Also they have these things called alfajores and literally its like eating a piece of heaven!!!!

my trainer is super awesome! hername is hermana king! shes a greenga like me haha except she goes home in 4 months and i have about a little more than 15 left haha but she´s super awesome!!

ALLLLSSSOOOOOO!! you know how people always say that the toilets flush the opposite direction on the otherside of the equator? WELL ITS TRUEEEE!! hahaaaaaa its so weird haha but the toilets here arent that great because you cant even flush toilet paper without ruining them haha so that´s a weird adjustment but i´m thriving out here so its fine!!!
