This week has been eventful. Plane landed in Mexico city on Thursday night. Got to the CCM around 7 after a 2 hour bus drive through traffic. Met my companion who is as tall as me and is super cool. His name is Elder Daines Had a few classes Thursday night about getting started. Those were some super slow classes.When Friday rolled around, we got out of bed at 6:30. we dragged our butts to more meetings super early in the morning. I think I fell asleep in each class. After the boring meetings we had gym time. We thought outdoor basketball would be fun. Turns out nobody knows how to play basketball in my district, but this 5'4 shooting guard named Elder Carter scored every point. They told us no contact while playing sports during our meeting about gym time. Clearly nobody could play defense and it was more of a wrestling match. My companion got body slammed like a bunch. When night rolled around we went to a meeting about DLs and HLs. They asked us one simple question, who speaks the best Spanish. Everybody turned and pointed at me. So they assigned me DL.Saturday was rough. Even though I got to hear our prophets talk. That was the first time I had to actually sit there and pay attention to the talks, and take notes on them. I think I slept through half of them but the notes I did get were pretty snazzy I would say. My favorite talk was on David A Bednar on how the book of Mormon is the cornerstone of our church.Sunday was the Same as Saturday but I got to hear possibly Russel M Nelson's last talk. He announced 17 new temples. His talk was awesome and I loved it. Nothing else really happened that day. But the food throughout the week have been nasty and good.Monday was our actual first day of real classes and meetings we will be taking for the next 5 weeks. Preach my gospel is super interesting and the teachers are freaking awesome. Spanish class on the other hand went by super super slow. The teacher is a little rough, but we will get used to her. Nothing to crazy has happened yet. Overall I would rate these days a solid 7/10. Some times were rough some were awesome. We have already made a ton of good memories too.
