This week has actually been dope! My comp is still a little weeny but what can you do hahaha. Apparently, he is on his last strike with President Bennett here at the ccm, so we'll have to see what happens with him. I really have never met a more lazy person in my whole life hahaha. Yesterday he was trying to argue with me about how track wasn't a sport and how it's stupid that I got a scholarship for running. I've never been so mad here at the ccm so I just told him I don't care what he says I'm getting payed to run in circles! Hahahaha. I mean I've been nice to him and help him out but he really gives me absolutely nothing to work with. You should see our lessons with "investigators", I'll pull a 30 minute lesson in straight Spanish out of my butt and he'll say like 6 words the whole time! I guess that's his fault he's not putting in any effort but who cares I'm so ready to get out into the field already! I'm not a super genius with Spanish but I could get by hahaha. 

Other than my comp it has been an awesome week! My bud, Elder Stewart and I got these caps from the big water jugs and it has been so fun running around the ccm throwing them around. I'm pretty sure everyone thinks we're nuts but what can I do, right!  Everyone at home thinks I’m a little crazy too hahahah. 

We went to the temple today and it was so awesome!! The session was in english but it was so cool going to the temple down here. It is actually huge! hahaha They have escalators, it's dope! The bus ride there we almost died hahaha another bus cut us off and we almost rammed it. Then on the way back we saw the Mexico Disneyland!!hahaha  It was almost as big as the real thing too hahaha It made me feel like a school boy again. Hahaha 


We have Elder Bednar coming tomorrow to speak to the ccm so that is gonna be awesome. He gave us some talks to read before so I’m pretty sure it's gonna be on meaningful prayer and stuff but who knows. I'm so excited for this devotional and not just because I don't have to sit in a tiny class all day hahaha. 


I can't believe another week has gone by the ccm is flying! Before I know it I’m gonna be on a plane to Villahermosa! I found out today that there's like a 95% chance I’ll sleep in a hammock so that is gonna be dope hahaha. The Church is True!!

Thanks for everything you guys do for me. Have fun this week! I love getting pics so keep them coming!!!!! hahahah

​Love you guys!
