Hola!
so im in new jersey! ive been assinged to a city called red bank. my comps name is elder hannah from utah. i arrived in the philly airport yesterday around 4 and spent the night at the mission home/office, whatever it is. we had dinner in the misson home and it was all green food, or at least most of it was - theres a story to it but i'll let you guess what it is until next week. we filled out some papers for president and sister winegar and went over some things. this morning we had breakfast in the mission home and took some pictures - you might be getting some of those but not from me. i will try and send some pictures next week.
After breakfast we went to the stake center. there were 6 missionaries leaving and my group of 6 new missionaries coming in. it was fun to do all of that. after that my companion and i were taken to lunch at cracker barrel by a member (english) and that was good. it is really green here and tons, tons, tons of trees. lots of grass too. i only have $130 a month to use so i'll be spending very frugally. we went shopping already and spent $15. i guess we are fed pretty well by the spanish members and it almost always includes beans, rice, tortillas and something else, i'm not sure.... we played basketball with 2 other companionships which was fun.
Tonight we're teaching a PMG class with some members in spanish (obviously) so that will be fun. its very different from what arizona is in terms of stores and sidewalks etc. there is the river here but i don't know what the name of it is. its been really windy throughout the day and hasn't really slowed or stopped yet. it's also been cloudy. right now were walking around but normally we'll use bikes which means i'll need to get a bike but with the changes in july, i might end up in northern jersey (the morristown i believe) and i don't think bikes are used there.... i'll figure that out for sure. this is the last full transfer for the mission and the next one will be 3 weeks. we'll see how that goes. i guess there is a lot of poison ivy and oak and stinging nettle around here as well as ticks but more or less in the wooded forest areas which there are a lot. im in an apartment which is pretty small - i open the door and immediately walk up stairs. its a good size living room but small bathroom and kitchen and 1 bedroom big enough for 2 beds and 2 dressers. there are 2 closets, 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the living room. laundry i guess is right outside the apartment so it won't be hard for to do laundry. what else do you want to know.... my suit case that i sent in the mail came today so i'll get that tomorrow. i do need to buy blankets but i dont know where and when and how many i want yet. it will just be better to send mail to the mission home or office (whichever address you gave me 505 south lenola rd etc). i'll get it the day after it gets to the mission home. i already have a card grandma roberts sent me. as far as pday goes, i'm not sure what time i will email so i would say email tuesday just in case.
Im not sure what else you want to know so let me know in the next email and i'll do my best to answer. i need to go. thank you for the love and support and everything else. i'll call again on mothers day but since there will be 3 elders calling, plan time wisely and let me know when is best for me to call - i'm 3 hours ahead of you - its 6:50pm right now. i love you all.
