Hello familia.

Things are going great up here in the Mtc. Nothing is really new. Kinda just the same thing every day. haha. Which isnt bad. It's just nothing new or very exciting ever happens. Except on rare ocassions. Spanish is actually going well. We decided as a class to play this game call "El Nativo Escondido" And so we all pick a card, and one person picks "El Nativo Escondido". ANd if your that you wanna try and talk in spanish all day and never speak english. Because at the end of the day we pick who we think is it and then if were right we get a point and if you are the native you get double the points if someone picks you. Here is thing. WE have been doing it for the past 6 days. I was it the first day and some people picked me. I have been it 4 out of the 6 times and it sucks because no one ever picks me anymore. haha. Cuz i always speak in spanish so they just forget about me. So i dont even have that many points. Its kinda lame on that part, but its still fun talking in spanish. I love talking in spanish. But i still know absolutely nothing. ha.

They closed the gym so we cant go in the for gym cuz they are doing construction. SO they make us go out to the field now. And guess what i do? ..... I play soccer!! It's so awesome. haha. I forgot how much fun soccer was. I love playing. The other day i met this elder from england who was incredibly good and soccer and he played with us. It was so awesome. So thats kinda been fun just chilling and plpaying soccer.

I should be getting my flight plans tomorrow or Friday. Which is super crazy for me. Its kinda weird that i'm leaving so soon. It doesnt really seem like it. And it's weird, and dont take this the wrong way, but it hasnt totally seemed like i have been on a mission cuz i havent been tracting or doing things like that. Of course im studying and preparing and stuff, but it feels for like a church camp on steroids. Which is awesome. So i'm nervous to hit the field. Especially about spanish. But i know it's going to be awesome. So at the same time im excited.

We havnt done that devotional so idk if i will play the guitar. But i hope so. Umm and i see chance all the time. We are in the same buidling he is just two floors lower then me. And we always see each other walking around or studying so we always talk to each other. I'm pretty sure we see each other at least once a day. So that is pretty sweet. He is awesome.

I wanted to try and surprise you but i guess i will tell you. Idk if you knew, but i can call you from the airport when i get to the airport before i go to colorado. There are no rules on calling people at the airport. So i can buy a phone card and call you or something. And im pretty sure my departure date is the 4th or 5th. which i belive is before mothers day, so you will probably hear from me on mother's day as well. Two times in a month? Sweet deal.

Yikes, well thats good to hear that john is okay. And that is a great moral haha. I will remember that while im out here, i have been working on just being myself. One of my companions had a similar things. He jammed his finger with his ring on and it got all swollen and purple so we had to go to the ER again. haha they were going to get a ring cutter, but they didnt have one in provo so we had to go to orem and then this huge burley woman decided, I'm gonna rip that ring off his finger. And she did. haha. About 10 min later it was off. Kinda ridiculous, but ridiculously funny for us as well. Well i kinda am just rambling on, so sorry abouty that. I will let you know when i get my flight plans, and i will hear from you next week. I love you !!

Love,
Elder Kingsley
