Hola MI Familia Y Amigos 10/18/2018

hey everyone elder singley update first week i hope everyone is doing awesome at home. i have much stuff to tell you guys so it might be a longer email since its been like a week and a half. so the first couple days legit felt like years haha it was so bad and my whole district except the hermanas are staying in a house and its so sick we all have become so close just in a few days. our house has like 4 rooms and 4 elders to a room in my room its me elder coombs my companion elder carpenter and elder lines they are some pretty  cool guys there are nothing like me so it took some getting used to but i love these boys like my brothers now. one of the first things my companion told me is that his bladder is the size of a peanut hahaha so we constantly have to head to the bathroom even in big devotionals with the whole mtc oh and the mtc here is call ccm pronounced seh seh emeh and its such a cool place there are tons of palm trees everywhere and wild parrots flying around constantly. the only bad is they sqwak like no other so it makes it hard to consentrate but i love the atmoshpere here. the weather is pretty intense here one day its crazy hot then the next day insane lightning thunder and rain and i love it. all of the grass floods here everyother day you could say its a skimboarders paradise haha that was my first trial of faith. but its been awesome here im really starting to get into my groove and really learning a lot, also i think this is the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. i struggled big time the first couple of days with all the work we got assigned on the second day from now on to memorize 53 words 15 phrases and 3 scriptures all in spanish its was real tough then we had to say a prayer teach a lesson and give a talk to my zone all in spanish it was a lot to do haha. but it really taught me to do my best and then the lord with help me the gift of tongues or don del lenguas is really amazing i was teaching an investigator yesterday in spanish and when i went to testify of christ words literally flowed out of my mouth and somehow knew what i was saying it was a really cool experience and that investigator is reading the book of mormom now so its awesome. mexico city looks so freaking interesting it honestly looks like the movie rio and i kinda wish i could spend a month of my mission in mexico because its so cool and i have fallen in love with the latin people i try to talk to them any chance i get even if its in broken spanish haha. the 3rd night i was able to give my companion a blessing because he was having a hard time and that was also an awesome experience. oh haha also the alarm clock i have is pretty much useless because every morning we wake up early to either ambulance sirens or gun shots so its really interesting here and its also getting close to dia los muertos mexican halloween so fireworks are constantly going off but the ccm is surrounded by mountains that are more like big hills and there are little shack houses lined up almost to the top and it creates the prettiest view with the stars and lights from the houses. classes are long and hard my day pretty much goes most days like this first wake up at 5 and go on a run then come back around six and im last to shower so i only get cold water then we are ready and to breakfast at 7 then seven thirty our first class starts and goes till lunch at 12 then we get gym time and the sand volleyball here is crazy intense so its really fun then back to class till seven then dinner and after is personal and companion study till bed. something really cool about the ccm is that nobody here speaks full english its either spanglish or full blown latino spanish and it actually really helps my roommates tell me i sleep talk in spanish haha so you could say im a master at spanish now haha. well this is pretty long so i met send more next week but i have like 2 hours right now to email so if anyone wants to talk hit me up and letters and packages can be sent through dear elder. love you all im doing so awesome here i love it to death and no matter how hard it gets there is no place that i would rather be hope you all have an awesome week 

 love. ELDER SINGLEY
