Week 2 at the Mexico MTC - I Made It To My Second PDAY!

Okay, so a lot has happened this week and I will see if I can remember it all haha.

 

Right after I was done emailing last week we hopped on a bus and went to the temple which was way nice. It was cool to see the culture of Mexico right in front of me instead of over the wall of the MTC.

It was weird going through the temple when everyone was speaking Spanish. I felt kinda lost but at the same time going through made me feel like I was at home again.

 

On the ride back I fell asleep which was really surprising because there was absolutley no leg room on the bus. I had to cross my legs and have them like half on top of the seat in front of me. Anyway we arrived back at the MTC and I went to stand up and fell over!  My right leg was completely asleep, like there was no feeling in it at all.

 

I sat on the bus with my companion for like 5 minutes until I could walk again! haha. 

 

I feel like I'm getting better at Spanish every day but I feel like the more I know the more I know how much I dont know if that makes any sense.

 

We went to the immigration building or whatever today and listening to natives speak Spanish is a lot different than here in the MTC lol.

 

Every night me and Elder Gunnerson (a kid in my district) tell ourselves that we are going to wake up at 5:30 to go play basketball or lift or something and so I would set an alarm on my watch and I thought my alarm was broken but Elder Gunnerson said that every morning he would hear it go off and that I would immeditaily turn it off and he would try to talk to me but that I would already be asleep lol.  We are like 1 for 11 on waking up at 5:30 haha.

President Bennitt here at the MTC is awesome. He is a way spiritual guy and is always telling a cool missionary miracle stories and stuff.

 

I still haven't found one missionary going to Chihuahua Mexico  in the MTC, but every Latino I talk to about it tells me to watch out for the cartel lol.

 

Oh yeah and also there was a huge riot the other day right next to our house on the other side of the wall. People were screaming at each other and like wrecking cars with baseball bats. It was crazy! People were like getting shot and stuff. I still don't know what was the fight was about but if I find out I'll let you guys know.

 

Anyways that's all I got for this week. 

 

Love you all!
