Okay, for starters, I miss you guys so much. I really love you all and I pray for you guys constantly. It's crazy here. It is the biggest city I have ever seen. No contest. It's super beautiful though. I love every minute of it, and I am loving the people.
So I got my companion. He's an awesome guy named Elder Hymas. I loved him dearly. but he had really bad health issues, and he left after only being here for three days. I felt so bad for him, so that was really tough. But I got put into a threesome with my two other roommates, and it has been so much fun. So my current companions are named Elder Child and Elder Chischilli. I love them both dearly.
The language is coming along, slowly but surely. Its so hard. It is so freaking hard. But I'm getting it, and I really can testify that the gift of tongues works wonders. I was here just in time for independence day. We had a massive celebration in the gym, where we got to watch all sorts of native dances. The culture here is amazing. the Mexicans are so proud of it, and I can see why. It's incredible and extremely rich.
Earlier today, I got to go to the Mexico city temple and do Endowment sessions. It is honestly the strongest I have felt the spirit in my life, except for when I did my live ordinances. There were angels in that room with us. I know that there were. And I missed you guys there. It's a gorgeous temple. It looks like an Aztec temple.
It is so cool.
I love everybody, and I am praying about you guys, individually, every night.
Love,
Elder Long
PS sorry its not a crazy long letter, but my schedule got messed up with the temple trip. So expect more next week, including photos. I might write letters too. I love you guys.
