We received a letter and an e-mail from Elder Jolley today.  What a fun treat for us.  I thought I would share a couple of things from him.

Written on Wednesday night:

"Everything went good today. We were told that in our free time we had to write home to tell you we have a bed to sleep, a roof over our heads, and that we are breathing and not on a resperator.  It is 10 p.m. and has been a crazy day.  Right when I stepped into class after getting all of my books the teachers were in my face just speaking non-stop Spanish.  I didn't understand anything. . . .  I love you guys. Oh that's something else I have to get used to is not saying, man, guys, dude, etc. We have to say Elder."

Hey mom,

Everything is going great just Preperation day right now. So we get a half an hour to email while our laundry is going. Spanish is coming easier I guess. I mean I'm still having trouble with it but oh well I guess it will come sooner or later right?. . . .The food here isn't bad so I eat it and it is bad because its all you can eat. I normally just get one trey but then we go sit in class for like 3 hours so its not good. We only have 1 hour of gym but it is good to exercise a little. You should send me a Chilean flag we can hang from our ceiling.. . . Well anyways tell everyone I love them and hopefully I can write soon.

. . . .Well I love you guys. Have fun and I'll talk to you soon!

Love,

Elder Jolley
