Wow, this has been a lot to take in but my love for the MTC is continually growing each and everyday.  Man it was so hard to leave my family in that parking garage but I know these next two years are not for me, they are for the people of la cuidad de Mexico!

I don't have a ton of time today so I will just give you a quick overview of the MTC.  The views from the classrooms are incredible.  (We can see Lavell Edwards and Provo Temple)  The food is the most average food you can possibly think of.  Being with the same dude all day everyday is a little weird and something that is sure going to take some getting used to buy my love for mi companiero is growing continually!  Just like my love for the MTC!!

I'll leave you with a short gospel message.  As soon as we got here we were shown a video of a young man who had never played the piano in his whole life trying to play the piano, he was terrible.  But another young man who was incredibly experienced and very good joined him in a duet, and all of a sudden the song sounded amazing.  This is exactly what the Atonement and Savior Jesus Christ do for us, however terrible we may be in life at doing what is right.  If we are trying our hardest, that is what counts.  On our own our lives are ugly and lonely but through The Savior and His Atonement, our lives are made absolutely beautiful much like this song.

I testify that this is where I am supposed to be!  (although I have thought about making a run for the gate a couple of times haha).  I have realized this is not for me, it is time to be selfless!!

I love you all and I hope all is well!

Love Elder Traveller

mi companiero, Elder Smith
