Stop da party

Holar! (Once again, the unconjugated form of hola)

Since this week has been pretty uneventful, and everything cool is going to happen in the next few days, I have decided to dedicate this email to all my favorite things about the Mexico CCM. 

1. CHOKIS

The most delicious little cookie in this world. Imagine Chips Ahoy times a million. They have the perfect ratio of chocolate chips to sweet savory cookie. And we have bought them at least 2 times a week since I have been here.

2. Pedal flush toilets

En verdad. It´s exactly what it sounds like. Once you are done doing your business, you just stick out your foot and flush goes the toilet, and you don´t have to feel creepy about touching something that millions of other human beings have touched. It´s fantastic. Of all the shortcomings of Mexico, this just makes everything alright. 

3. Funny Latino Teachers

All the teachers here are hilarious. I imagine my Spanish sounds like their English. Maybe even worse. But I won´t dwell on that... My teacher, Hno Polo, yells ¨Hey, Stop Da Party" whenever he wants us to focus and be quiet. Just imagine Nacho Libre saying it, and you get the idea. 

4. The Slide Shows by Elder Jones

Elder and Hermana Jones are a senior couple here at the CCM and they are the cutest. Every Sunday they make a slideshow of the departing missionaries. And Elder Jones uses every Mac video maker effect possible. It´s great. We all just sit there and laugh, as the pictures twirl onto the screen, and slowly fade out. You find ways to entertain yourself here...

So there you have it folks. The best CCM in the world. Complete with fake rocks! Wow... That felt real (Madagascar anyone?) Anyways, I leave tonight at 3 AM, so that´s exciting. I can´t wait to go to Boston and start the real stuff. Today while we are preparing to leave the other Hermana (Hna Bybee) that is going to Boston with me is hanging out with Hna Webb and I. Rocking the tri-panionship. We are literally the only 2 missionaries going to Boston from the CCM. Maybe more will come from Provo? If not, we can dig it. 

I love you all! Next email: Boston!
