July 19, 2022

Hi again everybody! 


It's been quite the week! We had exchanges with the Zone Leaders, interviews with the new Mission President, and a whole lot of confusion after an entire subway line was shut down for renovation. But let's just get right into it! 

So, last Wednesday, we had companion exchanges with the Zone Leaders. Which is a rather normal occurrence. What made this time distinct was the fact that Elder Rosas was the one who came with me to my area. For context, he served in this area a while ago... for nine months. So he's something of a celebrity here. Made things pretty straightforward to be honest. XD It was a good time. 

On Friday, we did a loop around our entire Zone (because of the closed subway line, which I'll mention in a second) in order to drop off a Book of Mormon and make it to our interviews in the stake center. Where we finally met our new Mission President! He's a pretty fun guy. He and his wife are both doctors (and he has the handwriting to prove it ;), and they're from Utah. They also brought along their two youngest daughters, so a bit of a change from our last president. But yeah. Cool guy. Should be a good time. 

And lastly, the subway line. So. This one subway line was sort of the linchpin of our ability to travel anywhere in the Zone. Now that it's down... we have to take the long way around. And it's a *very* long way around. So that's been a hassle. But it does mean we get to see more of the city, which I'll never complain about. This is the only part in the entire mission that gives you an inkling of why México City is actually a tourist destination. :P 

Anyway, that's all from me. Go enjoy your week!
