Lexie's first letter!

Hola!
sorry ignore that other email before this. I'm really struggling with the computer. This place is insane. I sent you a letter yesterday but I had to write it really quick and so I'll probably just tell you everything again on here. I'll start from the beginning because there's a lot you need to know. First. The food is kind of gross. Every once and while it's ok but I feel like i"m going to be eating a lot of cereal. Uhm, My companera never showed up so I'm in a threesome with 2 other girls so I'm kind of feeling like i'm rocking the whole third wheel thing and their both 19. most of the girls are, I'm kind of old and they are better at spanish than me so it's just awesome lol. So first day went smooth we got our rooms and had food and went straight to our first class. I of course went to the wrong class because I struggle more than most but oh well! I found it eventually. our teachers name is brother harris. He's a BYU law student I think, and super attractive. I always have to be his partner since I'm the third wheel in the group but he's very helpful. I am most definately the weak link of the girls. Oh my gosh the other two seem to know so much. The one has parents that know spanish and the other took a bunch of spanish in high school. So that's awesome. The teachers only speak spanish so it's usually super confusing and I know I'm being too hard on myself because I a have actually learned a lot. I can pray in Spanish and say my testimony and yesterday we had to prepare and teach our investigator and somewho I taught him how to pray. Really simply lol. I said, Uno padre celestial. Dos agradacidos. Tres Bendice. and Cuatro en el nombre de jesucristo amen. And I guess that made enough sense because my companion asked him to pray and he did. First lesson. that's pretty cool huh. It was super scary to teach and it makes me really nervous. I had to do the door appraoch and I was scared to death. I just kept giggling. It was not good. So other than that, everything here is really weird because I feel like I'm back at school. My building is two away from one of my old ones. Laundry is in the same laundry place. Church is in the same chapel. And where we have class across the street is where I used to hot tub so it's all just super weird. Uhm, my companeras are pretty nice. One is hermana dansie and she is from Idaho and is 19. the other is Hermana Allen and same thing 19 from Idaho. They are both are pretty cookie cutter but oh well. What else to tell. Saturday is my P day, we did a temple session this morning and yeah. Everything is just going. Still feels super weird. Don't know if I'm cut out for this but I'm going do to it.
