Week One

Day 5 as a missionary in Mexico. The flight here was a about 3 hours and when we flew into mexico city you sound hot believe how big it is. Its bigger than any city I've seen in the US. The MTC or CCM (in español) is really cool and the people we have as teachers are really cool. 

My comañero is elder Stevenson from highland Utah and I'm super lucky that I got a cool companion because we communicate really well and have a similar sense of humor. I was made district leader so I have a few extra responsibilities that just add to the chaos lol. There is so much that you are expected to memorize and read and learn and we have been trying to use Spanish as much as we can. But it is crazy how fast I'm acquiring Spanish and how much I'm learning.

 I also realized that this is the exact time that I need to be out here serving a mission and that heavenly father put me with the people in my room of 4 people and my district of 10 people. 

At night you can hear fireworks and gunshots but you feel like you are separated from the rest of the city.... yet right in the middle. Today is a half P day for our first week then the rest will be on Fridays. Here are some pictures that I took before I knew that we were not supposed to take pictures on non-P days lol . I'm going to try to get pictures with my roommates and district and other things and send them later. Let me know when I can call you.
