The Duke of Death

Twas' much fun talking to y'all on Friday, that was probably the shortest hour that I've ever experienced. Shorter even than P-Day hours.

So, not much to say since I talked you y'all on Friday. Transfer calls came Saturday night and my companion Elder Porter is being transferred to the Houston Zone to be a zone leader there. And Elder Woodruff (I don't think I've met him) is coming up here to Conroe to be my companion. That and a new area is being opened up here in Conroe, another spanish area which is good. Technically it's not a new area since they're just splitting our area in half. Which is really good since our area is huge and most of it we've never even set foot in, cities like Montgomery, Cut N' Shoot, Willis, and such places that we've never even been in. So that will be good. However I am moving into a new apartment in this area, they're going to get a 4 man to move us and the new spanish Elders into. That will be excellent, since I'll be living with all spanish elders it will be much easier to learn spanish, unlike these last two transfers living with english elders. Also cool, is that fact that one of those elders that will be opening a new area will be a new missionary fresh out of the MTC, also in the zone we're getting a new spanish sister missionary fresh from the MTC so that means that in Church I won't be the dumbest one in there anymore.

My spanish is actually getting along pretty well, slowly but steadily, oh I was gonna share this on Friday over the phone but I forgot. There are lots of different hispanic accents and the one that I'm trying to develop is the Argentinean accent, which is my favorite because it sounds a little harsher like French. The j's make a german sounding "arcsh" sound and the ll's and y's make a "sho" sound. It's sounds way cooler than mexican spanish. And we actually have a lot of Argentinians in the ward here so I am able to hear it quite a bit. However they have this thing called the "voz" which is some sort of alternate conjugation or something for the "tu" form. I have not yet figured out what in the world that is but eventually I will.

Well... That's about all I got for today, not much new has happened so peace out until next monday.
