Here We Go! Elder Forsyth Madrid Mission
Well everybody the adventure has begun! I was so happy when I opened my inbox it was flooding with letters from everybody! I love hearing from you guys but I like letters even more! So I´m gratefull for all of the support and I won´t discourage anyone from writing me! Ok so my p-days are on Thursdays and we go through the 8 o´clock session at the Madrid temple then we have time to write and today we´re going downtown to see the royal armory and other cool things like that!
So this past week has been absolutely crazy! Sooooo much has happened! I was assigned my companion the day I got here. His name is Elder Forsyth. So the first day we get here we were handed the schedule and told get to work and be obediant! So for pretty much the entire day we are in a classroom either learning Español or learning how to teach investigators... in Español. It´s very hard but I love every second of it and I´ve only needed to look at my pictures once! (I try not to look too much so I can focus... Sorry momma) So we´re in class all day and from 5-6 every night we have actividad fisicia were we can play basketball, ping pong, aaaaaannnnnnddddd fútbol! So I need my indoors momma! I´m tearing up my new shoes on the fustol court! It´s really cool they have little fustol courts all over the city! I know where three good ones are and I´ve only played fútbol twice! Haha funny story, (well for me it is) so during the first game we were playing and mi compañero fell and kinda bumped his elbow. He kept complaining about it and being the loving companion I am, I told him to just take an Advil and not worry about it. Well the next day he decided he needed to go to the hospital! And for most of the day I was in a threesome with Elder Cross and Elder Bennett who are the two companions I share my room with! Well they couldn´t figure out if he actually hurt it or not so they wrapped his arm and told him to elevate it and put ice on it.
I have to help him with his buttons and his tie. So Elder Cross and Elder Bennett are the other two Elders in our room. And they are awesome. Elder Cross is a way cool kid from Florida who wants to be a body builder so luckily I have someone to work out with. Elder Bennett is a big farm boy who just wants to have a good time! They´re in my district and today we´re receiving more Elders soo I´ll tell you how they are next week! Well I´m about out of time so I´ll just say momma there are a few people i´d like to be on the email list but i don´t have that list with me at the moment so when i have it I´ll send you another email either today or next week! I love you all and thank you sooooooo much for the support! Keep me in your prayers and i´ll write ya in a week!
Love,

I´ve only been here a week and I already bought a Real Madrid jersey... :) Love you all thank you for the support. I took some good pics while we went to the Cathedral Madrid and the Royal Palace! Oh and Andrew would have literally had a heart attack about this soccer store that we went to today! Oh and stamps cost like twice as much here so if you could send me some in the box with my glasses I would like that a lot more because the stamps here are like a Euro a piece which is a dollar and like fifty cents per stamp! So muchas gra(th)ias and I´ll catch you in a week!
Love,
Elder Hawks
