First Two Weeks in the México CCM/MTC.

Hello it is Elder Smart.  I tried calling my family via Google Hangouts these past couple of weeks
but could not get through. Here is a short email to keep everyone up on how things are.
Hope everything and everyone is good. México is crazy! There is graffiti everywhere
and you can hear what sounds like gunshots, haha - yet it is fireworks since September 16th is Independence Day, a national holiday here. I’ve really liked it here. It’s
been a really awesome experience! I’ve already memorized the First
Vision and My Missionary Purpose. Spanish has been really easy for me -
the Gift of Tongues is real and i’ve learned a lot already. However, haha, the food
is really not my favorite here at the CCM/MTC - I will get used to it. I’ve heard there are a lot of missionaries that are going to the México Villahermosa Mission. I have met several. The weather is "hit and miss" but it’s not to bad. I've met a lot of cool elders and the missionary life is
pretty cool. I don’t really get that much sleep which makes it kinda
hard to focus throughout the day. My companion is pretty "chill" we get
along pretty well. I missed talking with my family which I was looking forward to - that’s alright I guess; I will try again this coming Thursday which is my preparation or p-day.
One of the elders I met here gave me this bracelet and it says on it "never give up" so I’m going to wear it until I can teach someone and when they need a little encouragement, I will give it to them. Anyway hope all is good. I will talk to my family this coming week on Thursday.
