Well
my time here is just about up... Yikes. I cant believe how fast these 6 weeks
have gone. my Spanish is still no bueno, but i'm working as hard as i can. I met
an Elder from Torreón this week and he was telling me all the horror stories
about that city... Yikes again. Ill leave those stories to myself. Overall i'm really excited to head out. I'm excited for a change in my days ha. Me and the
other 14 missionaries going to Torreón leave the CCM Monday at 2 in the
morning. Our flight leaves at 605. I'm not really sure what to expect for this
upcoming week. Glad to hear everyone back home is doing alright. My knees
pretty bad again ha. Im now wearing my brace all day which helps a lot. Other
then that i'm 100% healthy. To answer all your question mother, Our teachers
are all 22-28 year old returned missionaries. All are native. The food here is
alright, but ive heard from everyone that the foods 100 times better outside
the walls, Which makes me pretty excited! Yes i am getting all of the treats
that you are sending me. Thank you so much for them! I still cannot roll my
R´s, and yes my knee still hurts. Its beginning to look like Christmas here in
the CCM. They have put up tons of lights and Christmas decorations in every
building. Also at night we can look up on the hill side and see all the houses
with their lights on. For some reason in Mexico its a rule that Christmas
lights have to blink and be colorful ha. It makes me chuckle to see every
night! For our service project these week, they had us set up a Christmas tree
in the chapel. Doing that made literally all of us homesick and miss our
families.The holiday season is a rough time to start a mission haha. I hope all
of you have a great week! now that ill be entering the field, i'm pretty sure My
pday will be on mondays from now on. I love and miss you all soooo much! Pray
for me as i'm about to really start my mission! wish me luck!
P:S:
sorry these are so short. Theres just not a ton to say while im here in the
CCM.... Next weeks will be longer im sure ha. love you all!
Love
Elder Richardson.
