so okay i had this long e-mail and let's just say me and the internet are just not friends. so let me give you a little bit of an overview, so we landed in Georgia just about around noon, so did you know that the Atlanta airport is so big, that there is a train inside how sweet is that. so we met the president just about a half hour later since our flight was early, so we waited for him and the ap's for just a bit over a half hour but that is all good, okay so it is very humid here i am not going to lie, it is i guess preparing me for mexico when i get there, lol.so everyone has seen those polig rigs that can fit a family of nine comfortably, well we made it fit sixteen uncomfortably, lolso the first night was awesome the mission president home is so big that it fits twelve elders in the basement, too bad there was around twenty five of us, so there was also air mattresses, so i got one of those but it was awesome remote controlled and all,we also had a testimony meeting just to tell youso the next morning the ap's made us breakfast we had real eggs about time, and pancakes and waffles, then we had a few meetings and went over some basics, you would think that we were all just a bunch of greenies, oh yeah we are, so then we went to the transfers conference and my trainer is drum roll everybody.... elder harrington. so which is awesome, also we are re-opening an area that has been closed for around four months so that is cool this area is chamblee, also the area where elder harrington was born also, in the field born is where you were trained, who would of guessed that i will would be born twice on my mission, so we got to our apartments around seven-thirty and then we went knocking, and i tried to talk to real people in spanish, just to tell you a little scary the first time but i will get used to it, so that is my first two days, oh yea i am all the way moved in and we did our planning for next week today and we are going to go grocery shopping today so that will also be an adventure

so my week has been okay you know even with the circumstances of being stuck here longer, it is all about attitude, if there is anything that i have learned in life is that everything has a reason, and even more then that is that God has his hand in everything, so no worries i know there is a reason why i am being delayed.so i still acted like this was going to be my last week so i went to all the meetings that everyone goes to when they are leaving, i learned the ten commandments for the health for the missionary, and i will tell you now that i know i will break some of those on my mission, i mean street vendors have the best food, if there is anything that i have learned about mexican food in the U.S. is that the crapper the healt code the better the food, also i went to a metting on how to study the language in the field, which is almost the same as in here, just should have a purpose or objective for what you are studying. also at the departure devotional the mtc president has everyone stand up to where you are going, and he laughed at us when we stood up for mexico.so today i went to the temple had some good temple food, sence the food here is no longer that good, i mean don't get me wrong it is good, but it just repeates to much of the same food that i went back to the classic pb&j sandwich and also life cereal for most meals.so i hope this gives you a little insight in my week,
