I hear it's getting cold up there. I've had like 70s and 80s down here. It's really nice, but we just had our first freak rainstorm. It was insane! We were walking and out of nowhere, just a heck ton of rain just poured down on us. It was only like 10 minutes long but it dropped like 5 inches of water.
My companions are getting gifts from a site called 'Missionary Package Mx', I believe. They only get food, but it's all amazing. *For K.J.... They literally have the best chips down here! It's crazy! I can't send any home right now but once I'm in the Field I will. The candy is amazing, they all have huge amounts of REAL sugar. The chocolate does not have much wax, it's like they took all the crap out of candy and left the good stuff.
I am the richest Missionary here because I came with $200 American, which transferred into about 5000 pesos. Which means I'm the big man here. I love going into the store *tienda... and just getting someone something, it makes them so happy.
We have a casa *house which is nice. We share it with a group of Hispanic Elders and throw a party every Saturday and Wednesday night to relax. It's Amazing!
We are about to go to the Mexico City Temple and do a session. I love it here and just can't wait to go out of the walls and see what the real Mexico is like. This is like a slice of America dropped into Mexico. It has a lot of Hispanic cultures though, which is amazing. Some Elders are getting sick because of the food they are serving. They just get the runs, but that hasn't happened to me yet. I love the food! It is like better Mexican food than the stuff back at home. I can't even describe it, it's that good. They love the fruit flavored stuff so I had strawberry syrup this morning, it's really good, REALLY GOOD! They serve salad every day and have veggies and fruits everywhere. It is amazing!
I've gained 10 pounds but it is in muscle. My companions are... Fie'eiki - Bodybuilder and Tanuvasa - Runner. We have been doing a 4 mile run each morning and then hitting the weights. I thought that I worked out a lot, but, oh my, we do almost a 2-hour workout a day plus gym for an hour and a half. It's Crazy! We're waking up at 5:30 and going to bed by 10:30. Just Real Fun!
I love you and miss you. Everyone but me has a working Ipad to read e-mails and send e-mails to their family. Mine is broke and won't let me read e-mails so I just have P-day. But I love sneaking in an e-mail during some free time and study time. It keeps me motivated. As far as it goes, I have Spanish study from 8am to 4pm then Spanish Lesson giving from 4pm to 9 pm, then bed. We get 30-minute breaks for food, sometimes more. Where my casa is, is in the very back on the farthest place away from our classes so we do a lot of walking back and forth to get things and go home. In all honesty, I am doing a ton of physical activity. It's nice and I love it!
I forgot one thing. That is the cord to hook my camera up to the computers. It's an A/V out... no clue what that means but my companion has one and is letting me borrow it.
It's so colorful here, the shades of green, oh my, there is so many on just one tree. We have a bunch of green birds that live here as well. We all love them because they squawk and distract the teachers, and they give us a break. I just want to say I love you!
Me and my Companeros.

Can you guess what this is? The answer will come next week.
When I am in the field I'll send it to you.
I'll check my e-mail when I'm back from the temple if I have time. The traffic is super scary here. there are laws but no one obeys them. We had a car drive in-between us and another bus on a 2 lane road when we got off the airplane because the busses move slower than the cars. It's Crazy! - Elder Cazier
To Dad, There is a church just outside the CCM and it fires fireworks every time someone is baptized. So far we have heard so many fireworks. It is insane! It is also a driving force. It makes me want to work harder every time I hear one. I want to share the gospel with that many people as well. We hear at least 15 a day :)
Everything you taught me is coming to good use now. I have people from around the CCM asking me to shine their shoes for them and to iron their shirts. I have to thank you for that skill. I love you, papa! - Elder Cazier
