Hey family!
so i just had a nice long e-mail and then the net stopped working on that computer so now i have to start all over and i dont have a ton of time. but things are going better than i expected. . . somehow. but its actually kind of fun to have four elders in the flat. it is super cramped and we have to put matresses on the floor for the other two to sleep on. partly because we havent had time to buy beds and part because if we did have beds for them we wouldnt have a room with a fan to keep them cooled off. and its impossible to sleep without a fan. the power was out last night so there was no fan anyways and at about midnight we decided to bring the matresses to the roof to see if that would help. and it did for a bit. but then at like 2 in the morning it started raining on us. so then we went back inside. and about thirty minutes after that the power came back so we could sleep again, but it was one of the worst nights i have had since i came out, it is too hot here.
friday night is when the new guys got here so saturday and sunday we were in a foursome. this week will forsure be like that aswell and possibly the week after too. i am hoping that it doesnt last for too long cause teaching in a foursome is realy wierd and the people here normally dont have enough room for all of us. but we will have to makeit work for the next couple weeks.
my new comp is elder meistre. he is way cool. he has no brain to mouth filter so he says some crazy stuff but mostly it just makes things funny. the other two are elder patty and elder rapiya. elder patty is from vegas and elders meistre and rapiya are from south africa. they are all way cool and we get along well. elder rapiya is the new kid and he is super paranoid about everything, it is kinda funny, but i often find myself thinking "i hope i wasnt like that when i was new" i love the kid, it is just funny to see how inocent he is.
anyways, i love you guys! i miss you! i hope you are all doing well!
Love, Elder Harris
P.S. i am super jealous that you are able to improve your spanish with Sole there. my spanish is awful now. i dont even know if i will ever be able to salvage it at this point. it gets all jumbled in my head with the swahili. so speaking either of them is a joke. hopefully i could still understand spanish if i heard it though, but my hopes of that arent that great.
