Elder Spencer's Mexico Mexico City North Mission: Last Week in the CCM

¡Hola Mama! For reals, the weeks go by so fast here. I’m doing great! haha no, no more Nutella binges. (As far as if anything’s different or crazier since he’s leaving next week:) It’s the same for the most part except instead of study time we have to go to meetings where they talk to us about how and what we need to do in the field and how to contact people and whatnot. Yes 2 other elders from my district are going to the same mission as me. It’s only us Americans and then like 13 Latinos leaving Monday morning at 8:30. I’m not sure what all will happen that day but I will cross whatever bridge comes when I get there! It is kinda crazy because it seems like I’ve been in the CCM for so long but at the same time I’m super excited! I know it will be tough but like you said I will have the gift of tongues and the Lord to help me! Yes I did get the letters, thank you. I have only been able to read them once so far because I am always so busy but at least I have the papers with me now.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about that talk, I loved it too! ("By Divine Design" by Elder Rasband). Definitely look up that talk if you haven’t yet! (the one from Elder Holland “Feed My Sheep.”)

I looked at the pictures you sent before I started typing this email to you. Koda looks so funny wearing the shirt just chillin’ there haha! I miss him soo much! I loved the pictures of the pumpkins and of CJ and Jessica dressing up as Thor and Hela! I was so pumped when I saw it but also so sad I have to wait to watch that movie! It’s okay though! Also are you keeping a movie list for me?

Yes I loved that package you sent me! It was so cool and fun! I’m going to keep the Frankenstein Head bucket while I’m out here! Don’t worry I took pictures haha. I was so happy you sent it! (Reese’s Puffs – his favorite cereal). I haven’t opened the Corn Pops yet but I did the Reese’s Puffs and I’m even nice enough to share! No we didn’t do anything special on Halloween. We did hear some fireworks in the city but it was just a normal day. When we got to our casa that night though some of us did dress up and actually went out and went trick or treating! My comp and I didn’t go because my comp was feeling sick but I still dressed up. I didn’t have a lot to work with so I put on my sweats and one of my zip up hoodies and was a gym coach! haha I know not super exciting but oh well haha.

Awesome! Wow that’s pretty cool! (I found a place that takes packages to missions in Mexico and this was his response to that.) I hope it works out! I will let you know probably in 2 Mondays. I talked about when I’m leaving in a part above but I’m still not sure if I will get to call home or what, but if I do get the chance I will call your number! When we went to go find out when we are leaving and whatnot, I got my passport / green card, travel plans, a filtered water bottle with an extra filter that should last through my mission and a P-card that has a monthly amount (I’m not sure how much, I heard it is 1000 pesos which is only like 60 US dollars) when I get out in the field.

PS I have a dumb sore throat today....idk even how! I’ve been drinking lots of OJ and eating halls......

I gotta go! I love you mama!!
