ELDER CONNOR TRACY'S COLOMBIAN MISSION BLOG: FIRST DAY OF THE MISSION -- SEPTEMBER 13, 2016.

Hello Meemaw.

My P-day is going to be Wednesday's in the MTC.

I leave the MTC on the 25th of November.

My Companion in the MTC is Denzil Eugene Watts, IV (the Fourth).

I live in a house and not an apartment.

I am in District B and my building for classes is the Joseph Fielding Smith Building.

Here is my official Mailing address:

Carretera Tenayuca-Chalmita #828

Colonia Zona Escolar, Gustavo A. Madero

07230 Mexico, Distrito Federal

Mexico

Please do Not send packages they say.

Did I forget my camera at home?

Mexico City is Crazy and I don't think anybody would like to come here or live here. The Traffic Is CRAZY!

I already know more Spanish than anybody else I've met on this first day.

Anyway, I think that's all I had to say.

Love you,

Conboy

Since I don't have a p-day this week and I'm waiting on my group of slow pokes, I figured I will write some more to you. If you want to make this the start of my blog you can.

Leaving the Airport was probably the hardest part of preparing, because I had to leave everybody. Now that I am here I feel more comforted knowing that the CCM (Mexico MTC) actually exists. I have many new friends that I've already made. We all met on the flight from Atlanta to Mexico City. It was me, Elder McLaughlin, Another elder whose last name I can't see right now, and a Sister.

Here are some pictures added by Mom from the day before and the day of Connor's departure from home. Plus a few others that are important to his mission.
