Jacob - February 1. 2016

Hey mom thanks for your email. Sounds like Ely has a ton of snow.. I'm assuming it's the same for Utah. Probably a lot of good skiing this year, but oh well I'll go when I get back. And to answer some of your questions.. The thing I ate was a jalapeño, it was pretty hot, but not too bad. I'm pretty used to chile's now and I like to prove to members that I'm not afraid. But I have eaten some pretty spicy foods here. I'm still not a fan of everything. For example I ate a sandwich the other day that was eh. But I forced it down.. But I've been eating a lot of other things that I probably wouldn't normally back at home. So I have branched a lot and a lot of the food members cook is super good. Haha the other day though a member took us to a Chinese buffet. That was a nice change of taste. I had a lot of seafood at it like clams, oysters, crab, shrimp and some sushi. It was pretty good. But also I did get your box. I'm going to try and make the cake soon or wait till after transfers... I'm not sure but transfers are next Monday so we'll see what happens. I'll be finished with my training though so I might get a new companion or might not. I already ate one of the blueberry muffin mixes for breakfast a few days ago. That was also a nice change up. Normally I either eat pancakes, oatmeal, cereal or over easy eggs with toast.. But I spoiled myself this week and bought some pork chops and shake and baked those for breakfast. Also a good change up. Well for this week I can't really remember a ton. Nothing really jumps at me that I should write about. So I guess these have been going good. We have a few people progressing and some people we really want to work with. Some people are tough to find or tough to teach, but it's all good. I'm staying patient and doing my best to improve each day. Spanish is coming along. I've been a little more helpful during lessons and I am more confident in what to say. So hopefully that continues. But I think that's mostly it. I love you mom and I hope you have a good week.
