So this e-mail is going to be a little shorter because we really haven´t had a lot of new things happening. After a while you just get into the swing of things and it´s not quite as exciting. But I am still having a great time, even when I´m in a classroom for almost 10 hours each day.
Last Thursday we started TRC (I don´t remember what TRC stands for). It´s where we give really quick impromptu lessons to actual people in Spanish as opposed to our teachers acting as real people. We were told we would be skyping with volunteers from all over the world. Even some from Ecuador! When we got to the room, we walked in and saw actual, live people. We were a little caught off guard but we still gave a half-decent lesson.
Our first person was named Eduardo. He was a recent convert and he was super nice and had a lot of great things to say (at least from what I could understand. He talked really fast). Our second guest was named Irene. She was seriously the sweetest lady I´ve ever met and she talked very slowly and clearly so we were able to understand her so much better. She wrote down all the scriptures we shared with her and expressed several times throughout how proud she was of us and our faith. She has a daughter that´s serving an English speaking mission in Tucson. I had fun talking to her about that.
So that was really the most exciting thing that happened this week, but I have more pictures so I hope that makes up for my lack of exciting stories. I love and miss you all!

Picture 1: Look who I found!!!
Picture 2: It rained super hard last Wednesday. Elder Watkins and I had differing opinions about it.
Picture 3: All the members of Casa 28 Cuarto 3 taking our weekly selfie. I´ve taken more selfies during these past four weeks than I have in my entire life.
Picture 4: This was Elder Leloux´s idea. I´m a little upset that I didn´t think of it first.
