Week 2: The Arrival

    What is up everyone! I finally made it to the Mexico CCM and it is everything I imagined it would be. I arrived at the MTC around 5pm on Tuesday and by the time we went through initiative and put our luggage into our house, we got to go to dinner. Dinner ends around 8:30 and we got there around 8:15. All the pizza was gone so my first supper was some nice fruit loops and a roll hahaha. Anyways, I love it here so far. The CCM is smack down in mexico city so I i fall to sleep to the sound of cars honking, loud speakers, and an occasional gun shot or two. I genuinely love my companion. He loves to study spanish and to follow the rules and i kinda like to study spanish and i kinda like to follow the rules. jk jk but fr tho we equal each other out.

Our house has 26 elders in our house and my favorite part of the day is singing hyms in spanish with them for the night devotionals.      ...

We all have no clue what’s in store for us but we know who we are working for and that is Christ. My companion is Elder Danielson. Elder Danielson is a very interesting kid that knows how to cast spells in Spanish and was the valedictorian in high school. I love him. We are completely opposite but opposites attract so I think we will make a great team. My district got to know me very well when I forgot to mute my mic during a break… i went and got a drink of water and said hi to my mom then on the way back to my computer I was singing at the top of my lungs. I sat down and everyone was laughing then i hear someone say “Elder Hobbs you have ...
