Dear Family,

Things are fine still. I know about the culture a lot now. I read a bunch on it. they don't teach it here. You have to learn it on your own. I learned that they are arrogant because they are always ignored. And they pick on hearing people because it seems to them that everyone else is always picking on them. Whatever. I'm not Deaf but I will be dealing with deaf people a lot a lot a lot so I will have something to worry about kinda.

I sent a letter today.

Today I am going to play the piano during laundry. :)

I auditioned for a musical number to perform in front of everyone here. They loved it of course and I will be informed of when I will play and stuff. I also want to find out if I can get a copy of the recording. I know they record all their stuff. ALSO, I will NOT be calling on MOTHERS DAY. WHY?? can you imagine 2000+ missionaries calling home on that one day?? and the MTC really only has a few phones. Sorry.

I really just want letters like I recently received. Sierra's made me laugh my guts onto the floor. I didn't have to clean it up because I didn't have service scheduled for that day. . . haha

Well, tell everyone I'm loving it here and to not drink the orange juice and that I have learned to just laugh at my "special" companion.

I'm super excited about playing the piano in front of everyone and maybe even an apostle/prophet. I'll let you know.

thanks.
