Week 2

So I'm going to send you a short email you can tell everyone about, and then I'm going to read the rest of mine. I had 18 today! sheesh! 
so my trainer is awesome. she's so patient which i really need. and she is 101% obedient which, lets be honest, i also need. life here in the bronx is crazy. i wasn't joking about being the only white girl. we've taught a few lessons, but mostly to less actives. it's awesome. we walk up about 1000 flights of stairs each day. public transportation is okay, not my favorite but much better than walking! the yankee's game was seriously boring. but it was fun to see all the missionaries together!
I've grown more in the last week than I feel like I have in a whole year. I don't even know how to describe it to you. Oh, I was going to tell you... just to clear some things up.
our proselyting area is Throggs Neck. The sketchy part of the Bronx is hunt's point, and we can only go there with elders as escorts. it has the highest murder rate in the whole USA.. it's nuts. We don't actually live in the area that we proselyte in.
public trans. is okay here, it's all above ground. I rode the subway for the first time today and its' pretty claustrophobic. also, its SO hot here. It's not a matter of if i sweat through my clothes, but when. It's sick. There are lots of cute little black ladies in the ward to take care of us, and the bishop and his wife feed us every week. other than that, we don't have tons of dinner appointments, We eat a lot of sandwiches :) We also live with two girls from the spanish ward and they generally have a lot of left overs. I'm not starving, so that's good.
next week I'll have more time.. I have to go now.
LOVE YOU!! I pray for you guys every night :)
