Mass email...Week 1.5

Hi everyone! Wow what a crazy first week!

First off, don't live in Mexico. The drivers can be a little crazy. Second, it is amazing here at the CCM (Mexico MTC) and I have made so many friends and learned more Spanish in two weeks than I did in 3 years in high school. Other than that I really don´t know what to talk about, cause... this is my first email.

For the first week I immediately had stomach problems, but it´s okay; Elder Atkin gave me some Doterra stomach pill thing and I started to feel better. It´s rough here, but I love it at the same time. The Spanish is difficult, but it´s alright, I´m doing something great.

Well, I only have so much time today cause I´ve been trying to figure out this Spanish keyboard, but

I´ll get it eventually.

Love you all and thank you for your support!!

Notes from Mom: Simon sent me a separate email answering some questions. "Hey mom!!! I´m sorry we were at the immigration building and we just got back. Please email me back asap!! I room with Elder Atkin and Elder Ceballero, and Elder Turner is the most quiet, humble companion in the world, and he´s my first one! Tell everyone I miss them and love them! I got a package from Carrie. She sent me donuts from the package sending place. You should try it. It´s a really good site. I really miss home. I´ve told myself many times that I want to come home because it´s really hard here. But at the same time, I really love it here. I think those feelings are keeping me sane... Working out is also helping a lot too."

**Some of the things that I post will be from other sources: the CCM facebook page, missionaries blogs, or other emails. They help put the pieces together. Thank goodness for companions and friends!
