More photos!

Hey everybody,

So today my email will be brief.

First of all, I'm sorry for emailing on Wednesday, but my p-day got changed because this is my last week in the CCM. I leave next Monday. I definitely don't feel ready, but at the same time, I know that it would take two years here in the CCM for me to finally be ready. I'm very excited. I got called to be the travel leader for all the missionaries going to Chalco, so that's very stressful. Besides my comps and I, everyone else going is a native speaker, so its pretty humbling trying to speak to them in Spanish to sort out logistics. But all things considered, I'm pretty honored, and logistically, I have a pretty easy travel schedule. In effect, the mission president will come here to pick us up, so I dont have to deal with flying or anything.

My spiritual highlight of this week was probably our devotional yesterday evening. The Young Women's general president, Sister Oscarson, came and spoke with us. She gave a fantastic talk about the trials and blessings that will come from missionary work. It was moving and very spiritual.

I don't have much else for this week, but I did take lots of photos! I believe I have more than last week, so hopefully you guys enjoy them.

This is my district in our classroom. We spend roughly 10 hours a day in here studying and learning Spanish. The blue bag on the floor is mine! I bought it for very cheap from the store at the temple, because my messenger bag wasn’t big enough to carry all my text books around in.

This is our building. Our classroom is first in on the right. We share this building with our close friends (district 14 B).

The CCM here is really beautiful. its about twice the size as the Provo MTC, with roughly half the students (which is a blessing during gym time, way less injuries than Provo). All the roads are lined with beautiful oak trees like so.

These are the buses we take when we go into town or go to the temple.

Here’s a solid mirror selfie of Elder Child, Elder Wegner, and I.

Some photos of Elder Chischillie and I walking.

Elder Child, Elder Weech, Elder Whitby, and I working out.

This is a typical meal for me, but normally with more fruit.

I love the work, and I am so happy here. Im very eager to serve in the field.

With love and prayers,

Elder Wiliiam Jacob Long
