Tuesday morning I woke up at 3am to head to the airport with my parents. I then had a flight to Salt Lake, where ~85 missionaries were on my flight to Mexico City. We then meet up with a bunch of other missionaries from the East Coast and had an hour-long bus ride through Mexico City. When we arrived to the Centro de Capacitación de Misional, The CCM, we had some orientation meetings, dinner, and got checked into our houses.

The CCM used to be an American boarding school run by the church, but when the age requirement to be a missionary was lowered in 2013(?), They turned it into another Missionary Training Center. The houses have 6 rooms with 4 missionaries in each room. Each room has a bathroom and two showers, and the houses have a huge laundry room and living room.

We have 8 hours of class every day, still broken up between a Gospel study and a language class. The rest of the day is taken up with time to exercise, personally study the scriptures, and practice Spanish.
