Email #1

We have a few more details... and the first request of many I am sure :)

  Hola! Como está? entiendo todo en su email
pero, it will take to long if i email you
back in spanish.  I will on Friday but right
now I only have a few more minutes to use
the computer. My P-days are Friday while I'm
here. My companions name is Elder Jackson,
he is from Salt Lake. I there are 7 Elders
in my district and 4 Hermanas. My zone is
awesome and I am really enjoying it here.
And I found out from one of the other Elders
that Austerly was in my zone but he left the
DAY BEFORE I GOT HERE!!!!!!! Crazy The food
is ok, I thought it would be better.  My
spanish is getting better and I can't believe
how much I've learned in two days.  I will
teach my first lesson to a fake investegator
on monday.  In english, thank goodness.
if you could send me my indoor soccer shoes
that would be great.
  Tell everybody that I love them,
          Elder Griener
