Best Day Everr!!! We got to talk to Brendon for close to 2 hours and it was wonderful. He is doing good, just still trying to adjust to the language, culture and mission schedule. He likes his companion but said it is nice when they argue Brendon can say whatever he wants and the companion just replies "si" because he doesn't understand any English. About 5 times a day people yell at him in the street. They call him Gordo, Gringo or Donald Trump. He even convinced several kids that he was Donald Trump's son. He said his spanish is awful but we got to hear him speak and it didn't sound too bad. He said his spansih is like taking his honda civic off roading. He can get where he needs to go but its a rough, dirty ride. Haha He is getting used to the food for the most part, he can tolerate it all except for a certain cheese that they eat down there, he can't handle it. He has dubbed one of his pant pockets his "cheese pocket". He does have a love for avocados now that he didn't before. One of Brendon's best friends came over (that was leaving for his mission 2 days after Christmas) and they were able to chat for a while about mission life. It was so nice to talk to him and see his face. Its so hard to have him gone but I'm so grateful for the opportunity he has to serve and grow.
