2nd Nephi 31:20 There's not much to say for this week. Everything is the same. The days have been melding together into one day. Yes, we sleep and stuff but it just doesn't seem real. There is nothing we can do about it, though. It just seems like it's flying by. As far as it goes, the last four days have felt like the time between breakfast and lunch. I enjoy this because that means the next 12 days in the CCM will fly by and that is exactly what I want. I can't wait to get out in the Field! If the rest of my mission feels like this then it'll be like I don't have to survive but it will be like a one-day thing. I can now see what the other missionaries are talking about when it comes to serving but not working. It makes no sense but it makes sense once you are out here!?!? I am not sure what to think about it but right now it is a blessing. I am missing home but it's also like this is my home for the time being. It's a little strange! I have no idea what to think about that. The impeachment of time and resources is wearing on me now. The other day I wanted to look up some dumb thing like 'who created soccer'. Once I said it, the rest of our class wanted to know, but we can't use the Internet unless we are in our computer lab or the classroom. So we all walked over there and sat down to find the answer, but we found out that Google is banned from all computers. It's now like someone just deleted all forms of history besides church history. When we have questions now about the outside world we write them down and wait because we can't get the answers here. Hard but not hard at the same time. This is what I imagine purgatory like. Everything takes so long but it flies by. I hate it but I love it. Connected to the outside world but disconnected from all the knowledge of the outside world. If you think this is strange try living it. All of us in our roma are now kinda zombie-like in our movements. But we also are all more alive than ever. We feel more joy now in talking to investigators and study than before because it brings back the concept of time. We have almost lost that concept, the only thing keeping that intact is the sun and the moon. I have not described this well but know that I love it here still! I just can't wait to get out to the Field and start real work! Let me know what is happening in the outside world (yes, I have adopted the idea that I live in a bubble now). I think only people who have been to the CCM or an MTC know this feeling. Let me know how you are feeling. I want you all to know that I love you and miss you! All of you are in my prayers!
To: Mom, I have gotten everything you have sent me. I got the stamps last night, and I got the box, and everything. I bribed the cashier in the tienda to let me keep my soda in the fridge for 5 hours. It was like 5 bucks, but so worth it just to have an ice cold soda! It sends shivers down my spine, even now.
My zone leader is really sick. His stomach is not handling the food well. His mission is in St. George. They are debating sending him early because of the food thing. The other day I helped him to the CCM hospital for bad chest pain and a sore stomach. I have been nominated as one of 5 missionaries who help there. I am the only one with on-the-job training. They have me working for our zone and roma, which they transfer sick people in and out of regularly. Some of the teachers are doctors and then there is me. We often help those not feeling well. I love you and miss you! - Elder Cazier P.S. You need to go to Compass and tell my CNA teacher thank you! It's because of her that a person is alive. The medical system in Mexico is strange. - Elder Cazier
