This week went by really fast, all the older CCM missionaries left and we got a bunch of new missionaries. The new guys are all really cool, some of them have already been in the field but they never went to the CCM so they came back for training. It is kind of the same here everyday we have awesome classes and try to speak our best Spanish. We have officially eaten 42 servings of rice, we all want to get to 70 before we leave. My companion and I got to pass the sacrament and that was super cool. We also sang In Our Lovely Deseret before sacrament started and I played the piano. Later in the day we heard the latinos singing it too in their sacrament meeting! We got to listen to a really cool talk by Elder Rasband about how missionaries are called to serve, where they serve and I know that I am supposed to be here in Bogota. The latinos are awesome, they are the nicest people ever.
Yesterday I got pulled out of class by the CCM president because somehow my mom got a package to me for my birthday! It was hilarious ...he said it had never happened before and he had no idea how she got it here! It had a bunch of treats in it that kind of melted together but my district and I ate a ton of it after lunch. It was one of the funniest things that has happened at the CCM. I love my district, they are all super great missionaries. I am trying to finish the book of Mormon before I leave the CCM and I'm in Helaman right now so I think I'll be able to finish it. It's crazy to think that I've already been gone a month. It's weird here the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days! My comp and I have had some pretty good fake lessons with our teachers and my espanol is getting pretty decent.
I got to go to the Bogota Temple again today and that was awesome, It's really cool to get to go with a bunch of other missionaries. I messed up and got pants that were tight so it was a little uncomfortabile but thats ok.
Love and miss you guys and thanks for all your prayers!
Love,
