Hey squad, 

Honestly this week has been pretty dull, not a lot has been happening. Our district is super tight, which is dope. We're out playing volleyball like everyday. I also played street soccer for the first time it was so hype even though I'm trash. The best days are Sunday because we get a break from classes and get to listen to devotionals in the comfy seats. And going to the temple on pday is so fun, it's so cool to see the city. I got a sick new sock tie from the tienda on the temple grounds. Well, I love you guys. Send me emails tell me what's going on. 

Peace out.

The DL and the Shower

 Yo wazzup my party people!?

 Its been 8 days since I've been here in CCM but it feels like I've been here for months. The first day we got here was like a fever dream we had all been up since like 4 in the morning and they were all speaking Spanish and telling us to go from one place to another, we were all just shuffling around. 

Our house is pretty lit, it's little and pink and it has like 40 Elders in it. I'm in a room with Elders Batty, Cluff, and Price and its epic, my district is the best. I don't know how or why but I got made District Leader.  They told me I was district leader and nothing else... then get mad at me when I don't know what to do. But it's hype!  All the people in my district are awesome.

Our classes are super long but they're pretty good. We have class at night with Hermano Tapia and it's so hype. He's kinda like the Chuck Norris of our district. 

The food here isn't great but that's okay.  Doing laundry absolutely sucks 'cause everyone steals our machines. 

Sunday's are super awesome cause we get to go to devotionals and church and feel the spirit all day. My Spanish is still awful but I'm also really exited to get into the field and start working. We got to go to the temple on Monday and it was super cool to do ordinances in Spanish.  Also Mexico City is freaking nuts as we're driving through it it's the craziest thing, Tell me about your lives and what's going on. I'll get better at emailing I promise.

stay frosty.
