I love the mission! My trainer is Elder Weinmuller, he is from Texas. He has less than 5 months on the mission, speaks almost perfect spanish and is probably the best trainer in the biz. This week has been really hard. I don't speak very good spanish and wish that I could communicate better with the gente. My area is awesome and we have a bunch of investigators. We keep super busy and I love working, even though I only understand about 60 percent of what is going on. The language is coming along very nicely.

Elder Weinmuller has been having me do as much as I can in the lessons and I have invited 4 people to baptizm. We currently have 2 fechas, baptismal dates, and although I was there to set one of them up, I don't really count either because they both had received all the lessons and were ready for baptism before I even got here. We have one date for the 14th and one for the 28th of december.

This country has a funny tendency not to have power, so finding a place where I could email home was a bit challenging. We have running water in our appartment, which is a huge blessing and I love it! 

Today was my first P day and we went to the park with a bunch of other missionaries, we also went to the mall and Elder Weinmuller and I split a pizza from papa john's. I SO LOVE AMERICAN FOOD!

Well... back to work!

Love you all!

Elder Mecham

PS: I wasn't able to write home last week because I didn't have my P day.

Oh also, my P days are on MONDAYS now, like normal people.
