Good Bye CCM

hey yallz this is Elder jones! and this is my last broadcast from the MTC! i leave in two days!!! i am kinda nervous, and i am really sad about leaving my district but i am pretty excited to get out into the mission field! :) but the highlight of my week was that it was THANKSGIVING!!! YAY!!! We started it off right with a Turkey Bowl football game! and it was so fun to play futball americano!!!...until they told us that it was a rule that we couldn´t! :( but our teacher was awesome and he let us listen to christmas music and make indian and pilgrim hats, and hand turkeys! (ya we are that cool!!! ;)) then we wrote grateful notes to everyone in our district and it was almost as good as being home for thanksgiving! :) then since lunch is the biggest meal of the day in mexico, we had our thanksgiving feast for lunch! and boy was it good! it was the best food i have had here EVER! :) then that evening our teacher Hermano Vargas brought us Real Mexican Churros! and they kick the popa out of the churros in america! they were crunchy and covered in sugar and on the inside they were filled with jelly!!! oh man they were good!!! :) then we watched a devotional by elder nelson which was really good! it was about using the members more! then when we got back to the dorms elder nelson opened a package he got and we had a toast with mexican rootbeer! ;) it was by far the best thanksgiving i ever had in Mexico! ;) then the next day was in field orientation (which is just in the classrooms, not in the field...) where we learned about how to use members and how to find people to teach! it helped me a lot to kinda refocus on our objective which is to bring others unto christ! then today we took a ton of pictures and said bye to all of our teachers which was sad! then tomorrow we have to say goodbye to our district... but the lord will provide and i am definately excited to get into the field to help the people of florida! :) i know this church is true and we have a glorious work to do! i know that jesus christ is my savior and redeemer and that he loves us so much and only wants the best for us! peace out until next time! :) love you all so much!

p.s. funny story: elder albin bought a bracelet at the store with the initials JAS on it (thinking it meant Choose the right) but it actually meant Young Single Adult! isnt that ironic?

and also in one year, look up the book "history of benemerito" cuz i should be in a couple of the pictures, (cuz we look like model missionaries! so they took our pictures! haha ) ;)
