the Mexico City temple is amazing!
This week was pretty busy. It's been a lot of the same stuff in our classes, and it can be a little tough to keep up. Sunday Elder Bailey wasn't feeling good and I got to help give him a blessing. We also had a member of the quorum of the seventy come speak to us with his wife. Then in the cafeteria we found a sign with a cartoon missionary that looks just like me (picture below).
This week we also had TRC, which is when volunteers come in and we talk with them, but only in Spanish. Me and Elder Cox were in one of the rooms waiting for someone to come in, when a 14 year old girl walks in. It threw me off. Me and Elder Cox were expecting an adult. It was pretty hard to figure out what to say. We found out her name was Kokob, she liked music, and she wanted to serve a mission when she was older. The second kid we talked to was Rodriguez, and he was pretty bored. We ended up playing a Spanish version of hot potato with him for a few minutes with a piece of paper.
Then today we went to the temple. It was awesome. The Mexico City Temple is the biggest outside of America, and is one of the only temples where the Angel Moroni is holding the gold plates. It was really cool and when we went to the visitor center after, we saw Kokob and Rodriguez. We played papa caliente again before we left and it was so much fun. There was a lot of sitting in classrooms again, but I'm halfway through the MTC which is pretty exciting. Until next week.

bits and pieces from family emails/phone calls:
I felt the spirit really strong this week in priesthood quorum. Our branch president is a spiritual giant, and he shared a story from when he would escort apostles around Mexico.
When I leave the CCM, I'm most looking forward to being done sitting in a classroom most of the day.
it's my twin!!
it doesn't rain here, it dumps
bugs here are huge
attending the temple was definitely the highlight of my week
