Subject: It's been real. It's been fun. It's been real fun

-

 For these weeks email I decided to share all the fun things that have happened at the CCM so far.


-  Everyday as a district we've been playing sand volleyball, its been a lot of fun seeing everyones competitive side. And any opportunity to play together as a district is always fun and enjoyable. 

- Last Friday we was Mexican Independance Day and so we had a Mariachi Band come to the CCM and play for us and we ended the day doing some "Viva La Mexico" Chants which we all had a fun time yelling at the top off our lungs.

- My District LOVES Nutella. Inside the Commedor we have little nutella packets and my district loves to shovd there pockets full and snack on them throughout the day. We grabbed over 100 Nutella packs in one day. It got so serious one of our Elders, Elder Probst, started a spreadsheet counting them. As of now we are at 545 nutella packets and growing.

-One day at breakfast one on my district members was grabbing a yogurt when one of the workers said to him "Elder, Más" and he grabbed another one but then the worker said "elder más más". And by the time we got back to the house we had 38 bottles of yogurt. Keep in mind we have no fridgeration so they would go bad. BUT it was hilarious.

- Since being at the CCM we have grown closer together as a house. And with a bunch of teenage boys growing closer comes the pranks. One of the big pranks we've been doing is hiding the previously mentioned nutella packeta inside our then District Leader now Zone Leaders (of which I will not name drop) things. He would find nutella in his pillowcase, his sheets, his shoes, inside the shower while he was showering, and just about everywhere we could quickly shove the tiny little packets. But this is not all ladies and gentlemen with the pranks this is only the beginning folks. The pranks slowly and slowy grew more funny, but never serious ofc. Just to recap a few of these other pranks, one of the other districts in our house used Peanut Butter to stick a single slice of bread to the sealing, a couple bananas were placed under peoples pillowcases, entire matresses were stolen from beds, and the final big one was an entire bed was taken apart. 

-One of my districts quotes or inside jokes i guess is when trying to hype each other up or motivate each other we say "fuego". Whenever somebody shares a good message, does something difficult, or just because we all say "fuego, más fuego". We now have a marker drawn fire emoji on the whiteboard. 

I just wanna close by saying something a little spiritual. I know that God chose each one of us in my district to be together. And I know he did that because of the lifting up and growing we can do for each other. In just over a month I have grown so close to a group of people who have similar aspirations and goals for their life. I have seen the spirit influence each of our lives for the better. And I know that because we were put together here at the CCM we will be best prepared to serve the lord in our respective missions. And I truly am grateful for all of the members of my district for how much they have blessed and changed my life for the better.

Also heres a few funny pics from so far... (Ofc none of which were taken by me)

  I'm in Oregon now!!! I'm serving in a Town called Hermiston. And my area is huge. It covers like 1/5 of the mission. And last transfer my area was actually split into 2 areas bit this transfer they were combined so I have been super busy with a bunch of lessons which us super awesome. I've had the chance to meet a bunch of really cool people. Of which I could go talking about but this email would take way to long. So I won't   But I'm still in a Trio so I have 2 New Companions (Elder Larsen and Armstrong) both being from UT. Elder Larsen actually was in the same district as me in the CCM (México MTC) so it's been super fun being able to reconnect with him. Our apartment used to have both Spanish companionship and now were one so we have the entire apartment to ourselves which is nice.  Also fun bonus is that my companionship is entirely made up of missionaries who have either been out the same time or after me so it has allowed me to branch out of my comfort z...

  All right, all right. After last weeks hilarious abomination of an email, I felt that to do y'all some justice I will spend some time writing a good one right now. This one will be dense and well written. First off, Just started a new transfer and my companions all stayed the same, same with our district. It definitely caught us all by surprise but it'll be fun. I had the chance to go and visit the temple this past week and it was a super good experience as always. We have be consistently teaching this woman named Salome. And she is such a dawg. She is slowly learning and progessing but that's because she really wants to understand and comprehend the things we have been teaching her. We are hoping she will be able to come to church this next when one of our members invites her  . Another blessing we have seen come to fruition is all of our work we havw been putting into relationships with the members. A lot of the inactive members we have been working with have been reach...

  Alright I have decided that sending a email every week isn't going to happen. But I'll definitely keep y'all updated with the good stuff. Jan 11, I had a District Exchange in Basin City. It was my first time being there despite having multiple district exchanges. But I have just been banished in Connell. But Basin wasn't anything special so, I guess that was a bummer.  But Elder Rivera is hilarious and so he made it super fun. We had this lunch with this one white lady in their ward and she made sourdough bread for our sandwiches. So I was like alright this gonna be good. Turns out it was not. She made SUPER crispy and so I took the first bite and it not only sounds like a trash compacter but it spills crumbs all over my shirt. Super Not Chill. Jan 12, The temperature had dropped to ridiculously low. Cali Boy over here was not prepared one bit. Normally it wouldn't matter but that day we got a flat tire because of low tire pressure.    And so we had to get out of ...
