Despite an excellent first sentence, my español is still unfortunately coming along slowly, but that's ok because I can just say "si" or "no say" and basically be good for two years.
Not much has happened since Friday. On Monday, the water machine in our building was missing, so we had to go "borrow" a new one. We asked the zone leaders if we could raid a different building for their water machine and they said go for it because they didn't think we would do it. Five minutes later when they came out of our building they saw us walking on the side walk with our brand new "borrowed" water machine and the looks on their faces were priceless. Later we had a fiesta around the new water cooler.
One of the most annoying things here is the birds. There are birds everywhere. I feel like I am in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Whenever we go outside to study, we can barely hear each other over all the birds. Its like they know the CCM is the only place in Mexico City with trees. The birds are even louder than the constant explosions and that is saying something.
Today we went to the temple and on the drive there and back we saw some people celebrating Dia de Los Muertos. I took a couple pictures of the shrines, but it was hard to get a good picture with the bus moving.
My district is part of a new thing the CCM is trying where each companionship gets paired up with a Latino missionary and we have to plan and teach a lesson with them all in Spanish. Usually Elder Mackey and I plan our lessons in English then deliver them in Spanish, but now when we have to do it in Spanish it is crazy hard. Luckily all the Latinos are really nice, otherwise I don't know what I would do.
Last night we had a devotional on miracles. Its a good thing we have these devotionals because they always get us hyped up to be missionaries because we slowly get more downtrodden as the week goes on.
Also on Sunday we watched Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration. I love movies, so it was good to be able to finally sit and watch one again. It was as powerful as ever and made me realize if Joseph Smith can give up his entire life for the gospel, two years is easy.
Adios
Elder Warburton
