WEEK 67 SLEEPING IN A SUITE = NO BEUNO

I did it! I made! What was the price? I had to sleep in a suit on the plane. 10/10 would not recommend. 

I had a good few days in Las Vegas! I went to the Temple and did all the stuff I needed to. I probably got a combined time of 2 hours of sleep that week lol. Now I'm in a different country adjusting to a different time period. It crazy to think sometimes that I'm in South America. I saw Vegas then Atlanta then the interior of a plane then boom South Africa. It's funny to think that I haven't said a full sentence in English in over a week. Take that... those that think they are better at taking English fasts then me.

I'm in a place called Rocha Rocha, Uruguay! Yes the place so great they named it twice! My companion is named Elder Romero and is from Tacuarembó, Uruguay and you guessed it: he doesn't know a lick of English. He's pretty cool and nice and likes animae so that's a plus. Our apartment is pretty nice for an foreign country. The shower has hot water and I have had colder showers in the United States than here. Sadly the shower isn't really "Clegg" sized. The people are really nice with me and bear my Spanish even though it sounds like I threw a bag of chips in the Garbage disposal or in other words "Gringo". I also think they are nice to me because I am tall and white and stick out worse then a sore thumb on the streets. I've caught a few people staring at me.

Another thing to note is that there is actual greenery around here. I'm starting to understand Spanish a little better but, can't really speak it as well. The tip that people always give me is to speak Spanish! Why have I never thought of that. 

President Escobar is really cool! He's from Chile and he's hilarious. He's funny even when I can't really understand what he's saying. He decided to make me a District Leader so that's good. Do you know what's harder than being a District Leader? Being one in Spanish! It should be pretty interesting.

We called this lady named Gladys and she was pretty cool. She said she has been reading the Book of Mormón. We talked some more and she wants to be baptized on Christmas. This was the first time we have ever talked to her at all. We put her on date! This must be South America! 

I'm getting adjusted down here little by little. Now I'm getting up 5 hours earlier then I did in Vegas and actually using Spanish. I hope you all have a wonderful week and remember when it's getting colder for most of you it's getting hotter for me

-Love your boy Elder Clegg
