This week's emails were particularly hard to follow...but at least we gathered that he is doin great, enjoyed his first experience with proselyting, and is continuing to pick up spanish. all good things.
This past week has been the bombshack. espanol is comin, i feel like i dont make progress but in two weeks i can teach an entire lesson in spanish and that is more than my first day i suppose. its hard to explain ccm life in a few minutes but its a lot of fun, a lot of work too, but a lot of fun. We went proselyting, all 100 of us, as companions in one barrio. it was nuts.
There are no gun laws so everyones on edge. Shops are barred up, have to pay through bars, gas stations have armed guards..its a smaller city than jakarta with a better sewage system but some parts are still pretty poor. weather is hot, but not too bad and nights are pleasant.
oh! and we talked to members by the temple. it was so sick! speaking spanish is ezy when im relaxed. because they were members i was killing it.
d leader! yuh yuh! i basically make sure my chalk is up to snuff and conduct meetings and stuff. we've got a great group of elders and the two sisters are pretty cool as well.

CCM is da bomb!
It's Sam's second week in the MTC and he has really surprised us with his eloquence. Not only did he write to me, but also to my mom and dad! We're not sure how much longer he can keep up the individual emails, but for now, here's a sampling from all...Ya'll might want to write him now while he's feeling so generous with his words!
CCM is da bomb! This past week has been awesome. We went to the temple in Spanish. I was made district leader. My district is great, my companions are great, the latinos are calidad. I had minor diarrhea, but nothing I cant handle, some of the others are having problems though.
My companions and I make a great team, even though being in a threesome is kind of difficult. There are seven of us in our district, the others have 12 and 14, but we are clearly the better district. days are all scheduled. breakfast, personal study, language study, lunch, missionary study, dinner, teaching, bed, everyday all week. MTC is small, about 200 people, but relatively clean. we had the MTC guru visit for the week, he watched us teach, he is a cool guy. mtc south africa is basically a bednbreakfast only has 20 missionaries max.
Tell hayden going on a mission is the best decision he can make in his life, no joke so uhh why not start preparing now.
Well, there ya have it. Elder Beckstead is alive, well, and loving the CCM. its da bomb ya know.
