Arrived at the Columbia MTC!

They are giving us a fewminutes to write right now. i made it all safe, that sister missionary on my flight to Atlanta was actually was going to england, so i had to find my flight to colombia all by myself, it took me about half an hour to an hour. i sat down and started writing in my journal. another missionary caame up to me. he is actually going to kamis mission. so we taalked for a bit and then tried to find a phone, where we eventuallly ran into 7 oher missionaries flying with us. and about an hour before our fllight there came 3 more. one of the sisters is going to my mission. 2 elders in antofagasta, others in chile. uraguay paraguay and 2 in colombia. we got to the MTC about midnight lastt night. my companion is from utah, his name is elder escobar or something like that. the MTC here is really cool, but its kind of weird, i expected  lots of english missionaries, but instead, us 12 that flew together are the only american missionaries. and i think theres over 40 latinos. luckily my companion can speak a little spanish, so he caan communicate with them, i share a room with 4 other latinos, they know no english so its hard to communicaate, but i am picking up spanish really fast. it feels weird to be on this side of the email. well i gotta go soon, our pday is tuesday so i will be able to write more then!
Love you!
