May 2, 2007 Letter

Hey fam!!

...Whew! Intense. Looks like I'm gonna get used to everything...pretty quick!
My companion is Hermana Naomi Sheppard..the one I was emailing back and forth to. she is a sweet, black, Southern bell :)
First day was crazy. I get lost everywhere. There's no time for anything but...well...anything. It will take a long time befoe anything registers. I just have to ignore a lot of things just so I can concentrate on the important things...but there's too many of those...so my brains gonna explode...yeah, explode.
I never knew my good learning system...so I hope I find it very soon.
302 missionaries reported on 4/25. Still haven't organized my stuff..no time for that yet. I had to switch rooms just when I got comfy. The food is good! muy Bueno! They recently remodeled the cafeteria so they're more lines and more food options.
In my spanish class it's me and 5 elders. We studied outside. It was beautiful. I was kinda their momma duck...keeping them in line..our teacher was gone so I led them through Spanish repitition and lesson reading etc. Good times. So I'm a solo sister for now...Surrounded by male escorts...guess nothing has changed..ha ha. Won't be for long. I want to try out for choir too.
Weeeeird. This day seemed like a week of activities. I practice eating with my left hand to write this letter. can't believe it's only been one day.
Like usual I enjoy my time meeting new people, talking, laughing, learning, and don't wanna go home until I'm exhausted..but it's only been one day!....sheesh:)
Love you all! Hermana J. Benson
