Hola Todos,


The food, its been great. We get lunches everyday and usually its chicken with beans and/or eggs and tortillas. I love it when they pull out the coca, mexican coca cola is really good at least to me, its made with bamboo sugar I think at least. One of the lunches I probably drank a liter of it. The members are so nice, it helps my spanish so much because I can actually talk a good amount with them, and try to understand them.

The food Ive been eating at home is usually oats, peanut butter sandwiches, or mystery meat with cheese sandwiches, beans, rice, milk. I'll probably need to expand my food in the house, oh also some corn flakes. One day my comp decided we would get some food delivered. Its delivered via moto, or motorcycle. We both got the same thing, a torta and a lot of tacos. I actually ate my dinner before but still managed to finish my meal. Only two times so far have I eaten until I can't anymore. One of my goals is to eat as much as possible. 







Missionary work in my area has defininetly sped up a bit, we got in contact with two people who are pretty much prepared, but we will see. We found a lot more people than last week but every time we went to see them again they werent home or were busy, and thats okay, its part of missionary work.


My card finally started working this week😛, for some reason it didn't work the first week, but I texted the lady in charge and somehow it just started working. Thats been great because I can buy food and anything I want really , but food and necessities, we really don't get that much money, it's enough. I did just buy a basketball this morning, gotta make sure I dont lose my hooping skills. Can only play on Mondays though, p-day.

One thing I am really grateful is we have a clima or AC in our sleeping room, and thats a life saver so I have been sleeping well, its great and when I sleep a little bad I can feel the difference during the day.😴

A thought I have, Gratitude, is so important, being grateful for what we have is so important, it's easy to think others have it so much better, and they might, they might not at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Be grateful for your challenges, your successes, your failures. Heres a part of a scripture in the Book of Mormon,  Alma 34: 38 - "that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you." Being thankful for your life makes it so much more enjoyable to go through life and even hard challenges.😁

Hope you all are doing well!🍍

First week at the Mexico city MTC

  Hey everyone!  I just finished my first week at the Mexico city MTC , prior to that I had two weeks of online training. Nothing crazy happened on the flight here, although both my big suitcases have a broken wheel so gotta fix that soon. The first night was rough, dogs were barking like crazy and police cars sirens were going off all night. The second day we were here my companion Elder Bowen was assigned as District Leader so Elder Foley and I ( we are in a trio- 3 elders) were made house leaders. Basically what that means is Elder Bowen is in charge of any meeting we have in our district, which consists of us 3 elders and 7 hermanas (sisters). For Elder Foley and I it just means we get to run a devotional at our house with about 20 elders once or twice a week.  The food... it started off questionable, first night was pizza which was alright then it was good with tacos almost everyday rotating different types of meat. One day it was a mix of sausage, pepperoni and some...

Hey everyone! This week went by so fast. A lot of things have happened. Second week done at the Mexico City MTC. A lot of learning and eating. We have two classes that are 3 hours each most days and now they are both in Spanish. We are now supposed to talk in only Spanish as well. It's been cool so far although we haven't talked only in Spanish but a good amount. Some highlights. My companions and I started going to the gym for like 15 to 20 minutes each day before we play basketball or pickleball. That's been super fun, especially basketball, we get about 50 minutes each day to exercise in any way we like and it's great. Each Wednesday for us is preparation day and that's today, I get to write emails call home and today go to the temple visitor center, next week the temple will open and that is really exciting that we will get to go. Besides that I have time to do laundry and play whatever I like until 5 pm. On Monday all the missionaries from my week that are serv...

Hola Todos, Esta semana fue muy rápido. I love personal and language study so fun to do what I want and learn so much. Classes are fun as well I just prefer studying different topics. My Spanish has definitely improved, I can understand a lot more and can talk much better although conjugation while talking will take time to learn.  It was a great week, last Friday we introduced a new district of 12 sisters to our zone/branch, super chill people. Although every Friday and Wednesday we have to miss a good chunk of class as being zone leaders it's been great to meet all these people. That day on Friday we also taught a spanish lesson over zoom, the lady we taught was so nice and she even seemed like she had tears at the end. Not much happened on Saturday until Saturday night when about half of our casa got buzz cuts. So on sunday we had church and our meetings then after that I decided I would get one, shout out Elder Rasmussen he got me right. Unreal experience, so grateful to have e...
