All is great here. Just getting over my ampollas (blisters). It is a LOT more walking than in the Utah St. george mission. But it's all great. Trials bring patience.
I'm not really sure what to write this time. It's been pretty busy with lots of meetings and stuff. We just had Cambios (transfers), so it's been a difficult week for work.
We do have to find a new apartment to rent, but we haven't had much luck in finding anywhere. Our area is pretty small, but the population is greater than many other areas. Right now we pay about 1,300 pesos per month for rent, which is about $110 USD. Since we are in a threesome right now (our district leader is waiting for his companion to arrive from the US), we are living in his apartment. We have access today to a full washer and dryer (!). They couldn't wash last week, however, because there was no water in the whole colonia (neighborhood). We do have water today, however.
A week ago we got permission to leave the mission for the Centro (its like the main place in the city for shopping, etc). We rode the metro for 1 hour to get there. It was pretty cool. We got to see the National museum of art, a really famous old cathedral that is sinking each day, and lots of people & places. I got interviewed by a few students for their homework in their English class. Poor students, they were so nervous. but it was good and they did a great job. I'll send a few pictures of the Centro in another email. Our district leader is plannign a district trip to Teotihuacan (the ruins & pyramids just outside of the city) on one of our next preparation days. They have gone 2 times before, so it's pretty likely that we will get permission to leave the mission again for that.
I think that's about it for now.
Love you all. Best wishes.
