These past ten days have been crazyyyy. Everyone says this but it seriously feels like ive been here for two months, and its been 10 days haha. Time goes by really slow but it also goes by way fast. I cant really explain it. This is a spanish keyboard so its kinda confusing lol. Today we went to get our visas. We drove to downtown mexico and let me tell ya mexican drivers are savages. They could care less. Everyone is cutting each other off. The biggest car gets the right of way. There were motorcycles riding on the wrong side of the road against traffic it was so funny. People walk around the freeway in between cars selling food, we were laughing so hard. The mexico mtc is so pretty. There are huge palm trees everywhere and we are surrounded by huge green mountains. We live in houses and its basically just a big neighborhood full of missionaries on the mtc campus. Ive been having so much fun here. Its really hard but ive also never had this much fun. My comp is Elder Cebollero and he is from layton. He is sooo ripped and we work out everyday haha. We are way tight already and we have a lot on common. Im super excited to serve in saltillo with these guys. They are all super cool, i can tell they are gonna e ies for life. My district is awesome. Everyone is so funny, I dont think I have ever laughed this much in my life. We sit in class pretty much all day studying spanish, its hard but a lot of fun. We taught our first investigator in spanish on the second day. That was interesting. We were able to do it though so that was cool. The gift of tounges is so real. The other day we were teaching an investigator and my comp said fish instead of sins, so he said christ took away our fish, it was so funny. Our investigators name is juan, and we are getting another one on monday. Its cool when your in a lesson and you know zero spanish, and you dont understand them, and you cant figure out how to say what you want in spanish, then the spirit just tells you what to say. Then I try and say it again after the lesson and i cant haha. It makes me realize that i truly need to rely on the spirit to be able to learn spanish. Another funny thing that happened, we were teaching one of our old investigators, tony. I told him that nephi was a girl hahaha it was so funny. He still got got baptised so its okay lol. My spanish is still pretty bad but it will come if i keep working hard. I can bare my testimony and pray, and keep a simple conversation going, its crazy how much you can learn in a week at the mtc. I see elder peterson all the time and its super hard not to call him zac. I still do sometimes on accident lol. love that kid. I know this email was short but I dont have a lot of time. I love you all and I know this church is true without a doubt. I miss you all, id love to hear from you guys.
The best week of my mission!!!!!!! Hello everyone! I was super super nervous for this week, but it turned out being one of my favorite weeks in the mission so far!! So my old companion Elder Lorenzo was made zone leader here in Neuva Rosita, it was sad to see him go but ill still talk to I'm all the time because he is my zone leader!! My new comp is elder Diaz and he is from Argentina!! He has four months in the mission, so we are both super new, but we are killing it! This has forced me to learn my area really fast, and I realized I know my area a lot better than I thought. This week I have realized, that my English is starting to go downhill haha! Sometimes I forget how to say something. Or I don't know how to use the correct grammar! Kinda crazy haha. Now I don't know English or Spanish! sometimes ill be talking to another American missionary and I will start talking in Spanish without realizing it!...
What a great letter! So glad he's having a good hard time. :)
