I'm already in love with the people, the culture, the food, the city, the weather, and hopefully later, the jungle.

Dear Family, 8/1/12 EMAIL from the Guatemala MTC

I am here, this keyboard is weird and I only have ten
minutes to write you guys so excuse the mistakes and the block
paragraph. I am safe in Guatemala, and it is way cool here!
Seriously, we got off the plane, and made it through customs super
easy, and everything here is so green. The landscape is beautiful,
the architecture and the materials they use for walls (like corrugated
iron plates) is actually really interesting and gives the city a cool
character. The food here is amazing. Breakfast included eggs,
platanas fritas, a tortilla with a sauce of some kind, a roll, banana
bread (with banana chunks in it) and oatmeal. Not to mention the
juice and the fruit. THE FRUIT IS SO DELICIOUS. It puts our Estados
Unidos fruita to shame! The watermelon and strawberries were so rich
it was delicious! My compañero is Elder Stuart (como Aunt Doni). He
seems like a good guy so far. The facility here is super nice. The
bathrooms are better than the Provo MTC, as are the rooms. And the
kitchen. Because we got in around five thirty this morning and only
slept like three hours, they let us take a small nap, shower, get
ready, and we are already back to work starting at ten. I am sooooo
excited to be here, it is amazing. I am already in love with the
people, the culture, the food, the city, the weather, and hopefully
later, the jungle. Can't drink the water though. There are hand
sanitizers everywhere and extra water to drink and brush teeth. Gotta
go, I love you all so much, and don't worry about me, everything will
be great!

Love, Elder Taylor Max Welker
