Wow i dont even know where to begin. First of all there is no way i can cover everything. Especially because i left my little notebook at mi casa that has everything that i wanted to talk to you guys about. im super sorry. And it is super hard to do capital letters on this keyboard haha so just deal with my lower case letters. i am loving it here. unbelievable campus. So pretty. it reminds me a lot of samoa here especially the rain. oh man there is just so much i dont even know what to say im sorry haha. oh yeah i am Elder Tucker and i are district leaders. i was really nervous about the whole thing at first but it has been muy bueno. our district is absolutely perfect. We are already super close and really enjoying each other. my spanish is awful. and it has been very discouraging at times. especially because elder tucker (mi companero) is much better at speaking espanol that i am. so a little bit about my companion. he is from washington and he is serving in salt lake city. so we are switching places hahahe is a great guy and i have really come to love him this past week. he is also a diabetic which has been super awesome but bad sometimes too. sometimes he tries to give me a little too much advice and its no fun hah. but he is a great guy and we get along just fine. my roomates are in another district and zone. they have been so awesome. i look forward to going home and being with them every night. we just talk to each other about everything and they have taught me so much. but last night i dont really know what happened but they exploded. they were yelling and screaming at each other and it was about to get physical haha. and no one in the house was helping at all they are such bad peace makers haha. and nobody here knows how to lead i feel like. its kind of difficult. nobody knows how to take charge. but i finally got things cooled down and i think they are good now. the spirit on this campus is incredible. that is definitely my favorite part. i have given my companion 2 different blessing and stood in on another. i am very blessed that i had the opportunity to get experience with blessings before i came here. (thanks pops) yesterday morning elder tucker was super sick and he couldnt study at all. his blood sugar was constantly high and he was straight up moaning because he was in so much pain. we went to the clinic thing first and they game him some medicine but it wasnt working. he finally asked for a blessing. so we got the 6 elders of our district and i gave the blessing. the spirit was very strong. when i ended the blessing he stood up and looked me in the eyes and said. im good elder carter. everything is fine. literally just like that everything was better. im still trying to figure out if he was just faking the whole time or what. haha im kidding. it was an amazing experience. so there are 10 members in our district by the way. gosh dang it im so sorry i dont have my little note pad here to remember anything i have to tell you. the food is not bad at all. its a hit and miss kind of thing. some meals are incredible and some are just straight up not okay. for example. yesterdays breakfast, chocolate chicken! not even kidding. but i had to try it. it wasnt as bad as i was expecting but still not something ill probably ever do again. but mom i am eating super good so dont worry about that. i have gained a good 5 pounds. they have warned us a lot about earth quakes here and im really hoping we get one soon that would be awesome:) k what else...umm gym time. we get 45 minutes of gym every day! that is such a stress reliever. seriously its incredible. im doing my best stay soft on me knee. i only played one game of ball:) if anyone is worried about me dont be because i am having a lot of fun. its definitely not easy. in fact it is very hard. but i wouldnt choose to do anything else with my life right now. please keep praying for me to learn the language. i need that more than anything right now. i miss you all so much. i have until noon my time to email so if you are on the email me back. i love you all so so so much. oh yeah you can send me mail if youd like. probably not worth it because they say it takes 3 weeks. mom or dad can you please let me know what the international charges are for using me debit card here. and let the bank know that i am in mexico so they dont suspend the card. ill probably send some more emails when i remember more things haha. the city is awesome around us. its super super poor. our window is like 20 feet away from the CCM wall so we here everything that goes on. they party non stop. they have these giant fireworks that go off probably every 5 minutes and it is just a straight up bomb. they are so sweet. and we have heard a few gun shots. the temple is closed so we wont be able to do that but we will go to the visitor center i guess. sorry i am the worst writer. i hope i dont drive anyone too crazy. love you all.
