Last week in the CCM

Buenas tardes familia! Les amo y estoy muy emocionado por que este es el ultimo vez que

voy a mandar un correo electronico del CCM! This is the last time I will be emailing you

from the CCM! A week from today I will be in El Salvador most likely teaching an

investigator or something. I'll probably get to email you when I get to the mission home

or something! CCM life is same ol same ol. Last P-Day, we went to Wal-mart and a mall

and its was awesome! The Wal-marts here are the same but so different at the same time.

I got to talk to the cashier at Wal-mart in spanish and told her about how I'm a missionary

for the church and stuff. It was cool to finally speak to a real person! The mall made me

feel like I was back in the states though! It was a super nice three story mall and I ate at

Wendys in the food court. It was soooo good! I also found something awesome at the mall!

I was walking around with some of the other missionaries and there was a kind of skate/surf

shop and it had a small half-pipe inside! I talked to the workers there in spanish and I got to

skate it a little bit! (mom you're probably freaking out) It was awesome though and I miss it

but I'm staying busy and haven't really thought about it that much! Another confession I

have to make is that I DID bring my fingerboard. ( Mom you're probably going nuts right

now) but the latinos and everyone else think it's so cool. lol. I'm not letting it be a

distraction though, and I only take it out at meal times haha. Well I love you all and hope

things are going well at home!

 

Mucho amor,

Elder Hoy

 

PS: Mom. my Rockports are already suffering some heavy wear, and the bottom is

already rounded off and stuff. My companion has some that he let me try. They are

called Johnston and Murphy's, and they are literally the most comfortable shoes I

have ever worn. SO... when my birthday comes around in a few months and you

guys are getting my birthday package together(which I know you were already

planning on doing;) ) you should look for those shoes. I'll send you a picture of

them if I can when I'm out in the field, but they would be greatly appreciated. oh,

and I got your letter with the pictures! Thanks so much I love you.
