Here I am in Argentina... it is sooo great! I arrived safely : ) I haven't seen much, but it's extremely green here, and warm! Really warm, like 80 degrees warm. I love it. The MTC is soooo very, very small. It's just us who arrived here on the plane in our district. At least I think that's what it's called. We haven't been told much. Maybe I'll start from the beginning. In utah I met up with 3 others who are also here in Argentina going to Uruguay. Once in Texas, we met up with 2 others. That makes 6 of us! 3 boys and 3 girls. We got to Texas and had forever to wait. One of the sisters, Hermana Kirkham had a giftcard to TGI Fridays and so we ate there. Everyone is SUPER great and super nice. We all get along really well.
We got on the flight to Argentina and that's when I discovered what I was in for. All the instructions were in Spanish and everyone on the flight (which was huge, I might add) spoke Spanish. I immediately freaked out! but it was all good. ha ha The flight was fun for the first 5 minutes. Being on a huge plane with tons of people, tv screens everywhere was grand. Until... I was on there for 10.5 hours. I got 1 hour of sleep and I don't even know how I accomplished that with squishy chairs, screaming babies all night and lots of snorers = no sleep. I felt sick once I got off the plane, as did all the missionaries. We're better now.
So we were picked up by two men who did not speak any English either, and they took us to exchange our money, getting through customs was easy enough. Then they packed our things into a van and we hopped in too. We sat in lawn chairs in the back of the van haha. That should tell you something about where I am ha ha. Everything is KINDA ghettoish, but ya know. That's that, not that I'm complaining; I just want you to get an idea of the place I am in. We arrived at the MTC and the Argentina temple is literally out our window, as in next door. It's so awesome. It is under construction though so no going in, and it's not as pretty as I'm sure it will be next year. Like I said, the MTC is tiny! We are the only new missionaries coming in today. I have seen 2 other people period; besides the 2 boys who have been telling us what to do. I met the president for a split second, everyone is taking turns doing their interviews as we speak. I will be soon. He seems awesome, called me Hermana "Farr out" (as if I haven't heard that before). But it does mean 2 things, he likes me, and he has a sense of humor. Both good. All we have done is take our luggage to our room, and email you! So I pretty much am still the same girl you left yesterday. ha! Thursdays will be our P-days just so you know. Apparently we can't take any pictures here. Other than that, us 3 girls are in a threesome companionship. It's very, and I mean VERY, chill here. We'll see what I think about that, I think I need a bit more structure in this unfamiliar place haha. Anyway, there is not much else to report. Like I said, next week will be better. I'm doing well though! Love it here. Tell everyone hi for me, and loves! till next week... Love, Hermana Farr! (ash)
P.S. I dont miss anyone yet! wahoo!
