I made it through a week and a half without a pday and I have learned two things. The days drag on for ever, but the weeks are fast and Mexico City has the worst traffic ever.
There isn't a lot to write because everything has been pretty much the same everyday. The food isn't bad, but were in class for around 4-5 hours between each meal. The classes mainly focus on teaching and language and we just alternate between the two.
Last Wednesday we got to go to the Mexico City temple and that was really cool. Its built kind of like an ancient mayan temple and just driving by it you hardly see it, but once you get inside the gates its really big. The temple isn't that far away from the ccm, but since the traffic is so bad here, its takes more than an hour to get there.
Today we went to the Mexico consulate to do some Visa stuff and it was weird seeing people from the outside world. Here in the ccm everyone is around the same age (even the instructors), so we are all used to seeing either people our age or the old ccm presidency.
Our dorm is always dirty because the two latino companions we have are always shedding hair everywhere. They're really fun to talk to, but they are way hairy.
We have had some really good devotionals the past two weeks about being dedicated missionaries and one devotional by Gary E. Stevenson of the quorum of the 12 about developing Christ like attributes. Its nice to always be learning, but its pretty exhausting because we have 16 hour days where we just go, go, go.
Everything is good in the ccm. Having been outside it and into Mexico city a couple of times, I have realized how much of a paradise it is. Everywhere in Mexico City is falling apart, covered with trash, and dirty, but in the ccm its peaceful, everything is clean, and there are trees and flowers everywhere.
Sorry for the lack of funny stories ill try to get some more in next week. Its hard to write them in a way that would be funny to read so ill work on that.
Oh I also broke my watch and lost my waterbottle, so if anyone comes to Mexico soon I need those.
