Most of the damage was in the southern part of the city so nothing really changed up here for us.
The language is progressing very slowly, but it is progressing. The area is pretty city, I guess. It's just never ending concrete housing with trees growing out in random places and some hills. The higher up you get the more humble it gets if you know what I mean. It's a massive area we have the biggest area in the mission. We split it with 2 other companionships. Just look it up on google. (mexico city/ ecatepec/hank gonzalaz) It's like a valley and we cover like the valley I guess. Look up Mexicable and that is where we are. The weather is perfect; it's just warm and overcast pretty often as well. The sun is very intense though.
Church is good. We don't have to do to much because the ward boundaries are massive so there's quite a bit of members. I know I usually don't write too much about spiritual experiences but I have to mention this one. We went on divisions with the zone leaders and as I've told you I have been pretty frustrated and stressed. I was working with Elder Ake. He got sick and asked me to give him a blessing. I did it in English because I felt if i did it in Spanish at this point I wouldn't be able to do it adequately; he doesn't speak English. Later that night when we were walking home he told me that it was the strongest blessing he's ever received and the spirit was stronger than he's ever felt. He told me that the reason I'm feeling inadequate is because Satan knows who the strongest and most powerful missionaries are and he targets them with these thoughts of self doubt. During this time is when I was feeling the most down on myself. It just goes to show you that the Lord knows when we are in times of trial and despair, and will help you. The spirit told Elder Ake to say this; I know he did, because I was at a breaking point mentally. The light will always overcome the dark.
I love you and I can feel the families and friends prayers for me daily. Much love, fam. Stay woke.

P.S. I don't have any pictures from this week. Sorry.
