Thanks for all the emails, its going great here. So I’m not at the México high school. I am at the CMM (MTC) in México City. We are the first American group to be in this MTC. We are always speaking to the Latino missionaries. The MTC is on the temple site and is surrounded by a large fence and gate. Right outside the temple gate is insane, when you think of poor México its right outside the gate, the temple grounds are so clean and safe, but right outside it is very poor. We walked outside the gate today with a leader and it was so cool, along the sidewalk people set up little shops to buy food, it smelt very good. The language is coming along; I stress out about it a lot but it’s coming along. The food is ok, it doesn’t settle in your stomach well at all, yesterday morning our entire district was having stomach aches. I’ve had a stomach aches about every day, hopefully I will get used to the food here, most of the food tastes pretty good. When I went outside today I really wished I would have bought a Coke to make my stomach feel better. I’m starting to run every morning at 6:00, the altitude here is about 7000 feet so the air is pretty thin. Everybody besides the American branch speaks Spanish, there are 7 people going to Panama in our group. Unfortunately we wear suits every day, so I can only were my 4 black pants because the gray and brown pants don’t match my suit. It is hot here but not too bad only when you’re wearing a suit outside in the middle of the day. I’m going to the temple today and I’m really excited. Our P-day is on Wednesday but tomorrow D. Todd Chrisofferson is coming to the CCM so we had P-day today. The people here are really nice, they always smile and say hello to the missionaries. I got to give a blessing to my companion this week and it was very cool. I’ve never given one before and I didn’t realize how the spirit tells you everything to say.
I’m very grateful for your emails. Every day here (besides P day) we are working the entire day, which makes days feel very long. It feels like I’ve been here for a month, it’s weird I’ve only been here one week.
Love, Eric Weston
