Letter from Oklahoma

Hey Everyone!
WELL I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START!
Okay now to the area!! I am in the OKC. But I am in a Spanish branch. So remember that one area I told you about? The one that is a mini Mexico? Well that’s my area!! There are a lot of gangs. My first dinner appointment was with a family and their house was probably only 100 sqr ft. It was exactly like a house in Mexico. The food was the same as well!  It’s awesome! Every Spanish elder in the mission wants this area because the Spanish is the best. Everyone said I will be able to speak like a native at the end of this transfer! SO I am excited!  OH yea and it is bike!! lol so yea right now I am in little Mexico! I’m loving it.
We went check on an inactive member and we are going down this road to get to their apartment and at the end there is a huge water ditch. (I'll send pics) but cement, so we pick up our bikes and climb down the wall and back up the other side haha it was pretty sweet. This is about 7 pm and we start going down this darkish rd and my companion is about 10 ft in front of me and it is dead silent and then out of nowhere a big Pit comes out of the dark and starts chasing me. So I kicked it and took off,  hahaha it was AWESOME!!! Lol! This is going to be the best Greenie (brand new missionary) experience ever!
We already got a family that will probably break the three year streak!! They are so sweet; they have been to church like 10 times so we can pretty much baptise them already! I’m pumped!
It’s very cold! The wind sucks! I think it was 21* the other night when we were walking; we walk sometimes, but mostly bike. The Spanish is hard to understand bc there are so many different accents... but I will get it down. 
Love you!! Elder Hanes!
Give everyone my love!
