Ebbert, Alia

¡Hola a todos! Sorry for no email last week. I haven't had a P-day since week two! This will maybe be a long email. I'm almost done with week four and I've had the honor of being at the Mexico City CCM (Centro de capacitación misional) for the last two weeks! Arriving in the Mexico City Airport went well. Driving out of the airport was unbelievably chaotic and colorful and I loved it. The drivers here are on another level.  There are mountains around the city and the house go halfway up the side. Its SO cool. There's little green and blue parrots all over the place too, and they're super loud. Gotta love it.

Hola! My first week of home MTC has been great! It took a little bit of adjusting but overall it's been a good experience.

Hopefully that number just goes up! Currently we are memorizing ridiculous amounts of vocab. I've refreshed my knowledge on all of the tenses and my brain is stuffed! Basically all I do everyday is sit at my desk, either in zoom class or studying. It's amazing that I can pay attention at all, considering it was hard to focus in my 50 minute zoom college classes last year. Miracles all ready! My district is super awesome. In a week we all get to fly to el CCM en Mexico to be together in person! ...
