Where do I even start?! I've been in the MTC missionary training center (CCM in espanol ) for 10 days now and it's seriously so great. We're in the middle of the city so we hear a lot haha. Many nights there are fireworks! And sometimes during the day too, but in not convinced that they're fireworks if you know what I mean;) . Also apparently they fire a cannon before it's about to rain because they used to believe that it would scare away the rain. Basically there's just a lot of noises from the city lol. Our days are long but great. Wake up 6:30 breakfast by 7:30 gospel and teaching classes (an Espanol siempre) and language classes. We have time for meals, and an hour each day to exercise, and study time to prepare lessons for people we are teaching. Again, in Spanish. Y'all they don't play around here. This first week we have been allowed to teach in Spanglish but starting tomorrow. No more english. We are done with classes at 9, lights out at 10:30pm.
I'm trying to keep this short and sweet but there's so much to say!
In the CCM (central ciudad de mexico I think I can't remember and i don't have time to check) all the workers and teachers are Latino. They are AMAZING. Our district (our group of missionaries) has two teachers one for the morning and one for the afternoon/night. They are both very different in personality (one is more gentle and the other is way more intense) but they are both so loving and really care about helping us gringos hahaha.
My companion and I (hermana moore) made a bunch of Latino friends. There is this group of hermanas that are just the absolute BEST. Sometimes in the beginning our our friendship it was a little awkward not being able to communicate super well and sometimes all I could do was give them a huge grin and wave or something but they're so loving, patient, and always ready to help. We are teaching them english while they help us with spanish;).
Everyone has to prepare talks for Sunday (5 minutes) in Spanish. You don't know if you're speaking till literally during the meeting. Haha it's crazy so you always have to be prepared. Of course I was called up first Sunday. But it actually went really well!
I want everyone to know how much I love Y'all! My time is basically done and so I have to go.
