Garret's Mission Blog: July 24-July 30, 2025 Week 4 Mexico City MTC

Hola, hope you guys are doing awesome. This week for me had a lot of highs and lows but overall it was a great week.

Only low of the week:

unfortunately, during my Monday night class, I ran to the bathroom to throw up. I think my stomach did not like the Red Chicken or something I ate. I was sick all of Monday night and it was a very painful night. Fortunately, Tuesday me and my companions got to sleep in (I was there hero for that), and I'm feeling better now.

CCM Community---

The CCM where I am right now is crazy packed. The lines for food are crazy long and it is hard to get a table. That being said I love it. I love all the missionaries. it is awesome to hear everyone's stories and their testimonies. It's like having 1,200 friends. everyone here gets along great and I have made a lot of friends.

Language: My spanish speaking skills are improving everyday. Our district started our "solo espanol". we have spoken spanish for 95% of the day which is pretty good. My spanish is making progress, but I still have a long way to go, but I'm excited.

Random stuff

I've played some really good and fun spikeball this week

My companions and I are getting along great and having a lot of fun (shoutout elder tanner and barlow)

Mexico city the weather is so weird, it's foggy in the morning, beautiful in the afternoon 70's and clear skies, and it pours rain in the evening. It's pretty cool weather.

Spiritual thought:

This is my favorite quote and it is the first thing written in my journal, and what I want to live by on my mission. Its by our prophet, Russell M Nelson, "the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.¨ I love this a lot, because we can choose to see the negative in all situations or we can choose to see the good. I'm really trying everyday to say what I'm grateful for and be a positive influence and build people up.
