1st week in Milwaukee!!

FAMILIA!!!
  como estan? im proud to say i made it to milwaukee safely! loved all the pictures you sent me! jaxon is off...so awesome excited for him to see miracles every day! you saw my best pal elder seymour?? tristen stop growing...haha so good to see all my friends!
  IM HERE. so we got to milwaukee they drove us to the mission home we had orientation..which doesnt make sense cause im definently lost here haha ! then that night we had testimony meeting with all the new elders and sisters... elder shipp and i are the only new spanish elders.. went to our hotel that night and zonked out ! it was a pretty dang long day!
  the next morning we headed to the stake center..(president and sister jones say hello to the pierces!) we got to the stake center, walked into the chapel to see elders  and sisters standing and singing called to serve to all of us newbies... it was sick. then i got my trainer ELDER KANAHELE! haha when i walked in i had a feeling we were gonna be companions! he grew up in new zealand till he was 11 then his family decided it would be chill to move to hawaii...no big deal. elder kanahele is the man! every day he would go surf pipeline twice a day... surfs like a boss! lives right by the temple! haha im lovin it out here! Elder Kanahele is the most positive person ive ever met he always is sayin "thats beautiful"..haha we have alot in common and get along real well! so we got called to south milwaukee..opening up a new area! so we are both practically newbies..we take buses and walk everywhere! we get lost all the time but yet again elder kanahele always is reminding me there is no such thing as gettin lost on your mission ... the lord is always guiding you to those that are ready.
 well first off i gotta tell ya this im litterally in a freezing cold mexico! im immersed in the language! of course the kids know english and some of the parents do but they love spanish way more! so back to the first day! get here and we go to the diaz family for dinner...had strait up pig skin tacos! hahah i didnt ask what it was till after...i downed it quick. wierdest texture of my life! grossss. haha. its been an amazing first week! ( i have 11minutes left sorry) weve taught 11 lessons in the three days of proselyting weve had and have 6 investigators now! the spanish people are amazing. so humble and so loving. religion is so important to them all. im loving it here...i thought i knew spanish but  the lord quickly humbled me in that aspect! !  !  i love you allllll so much!
