I run the CCM

This week we discovered the gift of tongues is real. Our instructor was telling us about his mission for an hour only in Spanish and we all understood everything he said. I've found out that i'm much better at listening to Spanish than speaking Spanish. I can understand most of the latinos here, but once I hit the field in five days I can tell its going to be a rude awakening.

We started our last week, so we got our stickers that say we are in charge (pictures included). Now everyone knows that I run the CCM and if they have any problems, they talk to me first.

We had a random room check this week and somehow we failed it. Our room wasn't even the dirtiest in the house, but I think Presidente Eves didn't like my star wars posters that I hung up (pictures also included). However, he didn't say anything about them being up, so they are staying up.

The days blend together, so once I hit the field, there should be more things to talk about. 

Our district has a joke that we use on all the Latinos here. Our instructors play fake investigators for us and one of them chose the name Juan Gabriel. It turns out that Juan Gabriel is very famous singer in Mexico and hes also gay. So, we go up to the Latinos and pretend that we don't know any Spanish and that we are reading off of a paper and say "Mi novio es Juan Gabriel." All the Latinos either die laughing or try to explain to us what it means. Its a pretty good prank.

I leave the CCM Monday morning, so hopefully I can survive out in the real world of Mexico.

Adios
