Saludos de México! I hope everyone is doing amazing this week! Sorry that I could not email sooner. While I am in México I can only email on Thursdays, but that will only be for a few more weeks.

Anyways, my first week in the México MTC, aka the CCM, has been AMAZING! So many things have happened that I don't think I could ever fit in just one email. But, I will highlight the best so far. My plane rides went great! No problems with my luggage or anything. The traffic in México City is terrible, since there's around 20 million people living in this area. But other than that, México is perfect! The CCM is surrounded by 3 beautiful mountains, and the campus used to be an old high school. Now it is a concentrated place for the Lord's servants to learn how to teach His gospel!

So I'm not sure why, but it has rained almost every single day this week. Maybe we are in the rainy season or something, but almost everyday around 3:00, it starts to downpour. And some days the rain makes it pretty chilly. Since there are a lot of missionaries from Latin America, soccer is the go to sport, but since it's been raining, we have been playing basketball everyday. They are really good HaHa.

Another thing I LOVE about the CCM is pingüinos... No, I´m not talking about the bird, but the delicious dessert treat found all over campus! They are similar to ding dongs in the US, but WAYYYYYY better. I may have an addiction since I eat one every night LOL.

Also, we went to the temple today! The temple is a sacred place where we can come closer to our Father in heaven and make convents with Him, while also helping the people who did not have a chance to learn about the gospel in this life be able to have the same opportunities. 

The CCM is a beautiful place, the Spirit felt here is beyond words. There have been times where I have laughed, cried, felt down on myself, and then on top of the world in the matter of hours. But it is all a test from our Heavenly Father to see how we will react when put under pressure... will we turn to Him for love and support? Of course!

 As much as I would like to write down all my experiences, my time is cut short for today. However, I will be able to email again next Thursday and update you all again on my adventures as a missionary aquí en México! I will try to get some photos in this email or another real quick. I love you all so much! Thanks for all the love and prayers!!!!
