Hey,
What's up? Being here at the CCM is crazy. You have no time to relax. I am so tired. I haven't slept very well. The beds are super small and not very good. Mexico city is pretty noisy so its hard to get some sleep. That 's cool about Landen Webb and Chris Sorenson. My companion's name is Elder Horton. He is a pretty cool kid. He is from Washington. My district has eight, two hermanas and six elders. The language is really hard for me right now. I can't remember anything and it's kicking my butt, but it will come. The older district is leaving next week which sucks because they were super nice and helped and looked out for us a lot. The flight was pretty good. I talked to this old lady and slept the whole time. Tell Grandpa Showell Happy Birthday and Megan because I missed hers. Sunday was way cool. It was one of the most spiritual times I have had in my life with all the talks. Thanks for the note in the suit case by the way. That was nice to read. The food is not to bad. They do have ranch dressing here, but it is kinda weird. I eat rice and beans a lot. I don't know if i can say this, but I will anyway. Could you pray for me that the language will come, please. This has been a huge trial of faith, but i know it's building my testimony a lot. The washing machine is all weird so i might get my clothes washed today. There is a lot of class and the weather is nice. It doesn't get to hot, but I am still dying, but everyone else seems to enjoy it. Sorry this one is kinda short. Not much happened besides class. I will have more for you next week
Love, Elder Gillies
Additional email.
I had more time then I thought so I can add a few more things. I'll probably just end up repeating myself. Everything down here is so green and like outside the CCM is pretty ghetto with graffiti and all that. I can kinda pray and testify a little in Spanish, but my understanding is not good so i just smile and stare and walk away. I know that is bad, but i have no idea what else to do. They have these weird things outside the CCM. They look like alien things. I was wondering if thats how i got here to this foreign planet! Ha ha! We practice with a fake investigator. I try to throw some things in, but I don't know what he is saying 99 percent of the time. Sunday was way cool and very encouraging and very much needed. I never thought I would pray this much, but it seems that all i do this pray and study. Elder Henderson, the missionary from Richfield is in my district. He is kinda weird, but really funny. Yesterday he said a word and the Spanish teacher is like what? and she goes that's not a word. He was so convinced it was that he brought out his book and everything to prove to her it was. He was way off, but it cracked me up with him trying to prove to a person that speaks Spanish in the first week is pretty crazy.
Love, Elder Gillies
