Hola everybody!

I am alive and well three weeks into my MTC training and all I am finally getting used to it! Thanks to the help of a mere 8 hours of language training everyday, the language is coming along nicely. We have also been teaching people IN SPANISH since the second day I got here so I am getting pretty comfortable teaching and speaking to others. The food here is sub par to be put nicely. Some days the food will be great but then others it just seems like they are just putting left overs from the past week into a blender and serving it to us on a plate. Besides the food, the MTC in Mexico is pretty awesome! I have a great view of the whole city from where we are and you can hear parties and fireworks going on all day everyday! My district is super awesome and we all play basketball so that is like our number one way to pass the time.

My companion totally sleep talks and sleep walks like every night! Last week I heard him get out of bed at like 2 AM and start walking out the door. I asked him where he was going but he just kind of mumbled a response! I yelled at him, now understanding he was asleep, to come back into our room. He mumbled some more then started doing circles in the middle of our room. He then proceeded to go to the bathroom and wash his hands (all while still asleep). When he came out he slammed the door shut, opened it again, then slammed it shut. He then walked over to our table and knocked off all our stuff and went to bed.

Not really much else to report! I know the Church is true and my testimony is growing everyday!

Much Love

Elder Drake!
