First, I hope that everyone had an amazing Christmas, mine was definitely different than what I'm used to obviously. We had a really good time though and I'm grateful to have had
the experience of having a Christmas in the MTC. We had some really good food, and we beat the devil out of piñatas. I took a piece of the piñata I busted and wore it as a trophy
for the rest of the day. Needless to say I got a decent amount of looks of all kinds and a few sweet words from some hermanas. Later that day we also had the chance to listen to
David A. Bednar talk to us for a Christmas devotional. Super awesome stuff! I took a couple pages of notes from that, so my next talk is going to be stacked with quotes and scriptures.
Other than that, Christmas was alright. It was a new experience for me and I wouldn't take it back for the world.
Second, my compañero and I now have a source from the outside of the MTC that supplies us with 4, 3 liter bottles of Coke and Mountain Dew. In order to get them we have to run a covert-op
mission at 3 in the morning to grab and go. That's pretty difficult when all mexicans are night owls and you have two gringos full on sprinting down the road like a couple of drunk guys trying not to make noise.
BUT we haven't gotten caught yet and we don't plan to because carbonation here is seriously like the fountain of youth in a bottle.
Third thing, and also the last thing, I want to hear what everyone is up to! I need more emails to supply my P day with. I love hearing from you guys and it gives me something to do. Besides that, thank you all for the Christmas wishes.
This week has been a tough one with the language, I'm understanding a lot better but the pronunciation from my mouth seems to get whiter and whiter every time I speak. I miss you all and I hope you are all doing well. The temperature here is still in the high 70s, pretty rough huh (pops). My companion and I are killing the game! I hope to hear from you guys soon! I'll be back on the computer to update and do some personal emails a little later. Stay strong, doubt your doubts, endure to the end. With love!
