Hola Todos!
 
Este semana fue.... I'm just kidding! This email will be in English, mostly, I make no promises. The Republica Dominicana is so beautiful! I have only seen a little bit of it because we don't leave the CCM much, but the parts I have seen are amazing... well the parts that aren't a large city in a 3rd world country that is, in all reality, probably held together by bailing wire and duct tape.
 
I love being a missionary! Learning a new language and studying how to teach the Gospel, while being instructed in said new language, is pretty much cause for a serious headache. Not a problem though, because I know that this is what the Lord wants me to do, so He will be there to help me the whole way. You can feel the Spirit so strong in the CCM. It is so great to be in a place full of people doing the Lord's work. Elder Cook loves to play the piano and when we have free time, we will go to this room where they have a baby grand piano, and he will just play a medley of whatever Hymns come to mind, it is amazing.
 
No awesome stories for this week. I reviewed the imperitive tense and indirect/direct object pronouns yesterday during personal language study. I went over it on the board with the teacher while everyone else was doing more plabian tasks at their desks. I'm kidding, but they all just looked at it and were like "Excuse me?! We have to learn that?" I kind of chuckled because it was just a review for me. I'm honestly suprised I actually learned anything in Spanish class back home.
 
Nothing major happened this week... other than I feel a whole lot more comfortable with the language and can get up at 6:15 without feeling like I'm going to die. Still humid here, glad the AC works. Yesterday we just got about 10 - 15 new elders from Jamaica and miscelanious Latin American countries... I can't communicate with any of them, but oh well.
 
Oh, and Elder Cook is the short Hawaiian (spelling?) Elder in the picture, super funny guy.
I will have time later today to send you pictures and all that fun stuff.
 
Love you all!
 
Elder Mecham
