Teotihuacan

We went out to the pyramids at Teotihuacan.  They are incredible!  Definitely a must see if you are ever near Mexico City.  Presidente Tovar (a stake president and archeologist) gave us a fantastic tour with tons of history.

Milk........the Real Deal

I went to Costco this morning.  It's EXACTLY the same as in the states (except everything is in Spanish).  But same layout, same brands, same delicious rolls. Best thing? They even sell milk.

Update

Sorry to be so bad lately in keeping this blog updated.  There has been so much to do that I've been pretty busy.  We now have all the coordinators from Provo here so the full-time staff is complete.  Every week about 8 teachers come from Provo to help cover the districts.  In just two weeks we are already up to about 200 north american missionaries and about 120 latin missionaries.  And every week we will get about 100 more.  By mid-August there will be over 800 missionaries on the campus.  We are all running around like crazy making sure we have enough teachers, buildings set up, dorm rooms, food, schedules, etc.  It's been a crazy/fun ride.  The weather has been pretty cool lately-low 70's in the day, 50's at night with rain almost every evening.  The missionaries are doing great and are working so hard.  There have been a lot of little bumps along the way, but I don't think the missionaries are ever aware of them.  The staff is so incredible here.

El centro

We went to the centro today to look around a bit.  Highlights were the Catedral Nacional y el Palacio de Bellas Artes.  We also ate some yummy food at Los Chilangos.
