What is up everybody?!
Everything is superb here in Mexico. And also nice and warm and sunny to all of those reading from the state of Kansas. I just saw all the pictures, so of course I had to go and stand outside for a minute in my short sleeve shirt and flip flops.
Nothing out of the ordinary or horrendously exciting this week happened. However, on Sunday Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve, as well as one of the members of the 70 and someone from the presiding bishopric will be here do dedicate the CCM. (To all of those reading who have no idea what any of those terms mean, feel free to look them up on mormon.org, but basically they are all in the leadership of the church, and it will be a wonderful opportunity to have them here. :) So I am hoping I will have some fun stuff to report from that. I am singing in the choir for the dedication, so I get to sit in the front row, so that will be really cool too.
Just a typical night of studying. Hermana Te'o died, ;)
Somehow and we still don't know how, during the middle of our Sunday night movie, this popped up on the screen, and it took them a good couple of minutes to get it down. Needless to say, I laughed way harder than any human being should!
Typical Hermana Eyre and me
Other than that just a routine week at the CCM. We got the opportunity today to get to go to the Visitors Center/Temple grounds here in Mexico City so that was really neat. It is such a beautiful visitors center, I was kind of blown away. The temple was gorgeous too, but it is closed right now, so we only got to look from the outside. Hermana Eyre and I contemplated making a break for it and running across the street to get a Diet Coke, but we didn't have time. (Any who have had to spend any time with me in the last 3 years will understand the devastating nature of this statement.) But we got to take a lot of pictures, and it was nice to get off of campus for a few hours. Driving through Mexico City is always quite the experience. To any who don't fully understand what I mean, take Johnson County, or Provo, or wherever you are reading this, and imagine the EXACT OPPOSITE. It makes me realize how truly blessed I am. But it is such an amazing thing so see also.
Although kind of blurry, I still love this picture. Just a cool sight to see.
This Christus looks out over the street through huge windows, and it is an amazing sight!

Hermana Eyre and me
Te'o refuses to take a picture without her hand like this. It's kind of the best!
Distrito 10c!
This is from the inside of the visitor's center in the hallway going to the exhibit about the church in Mexico.
They can try and put us in a bubble all they want here, but we still have our ways of staying in touch with the outside world. We had all heard the Superbowl score by 7:30 the next morning, and Hermana Eyre, having gone to school in Seattle, was beyond excited. It was classic. Our new favorite person is Noé. He works in the comedor, and loves Hermana Eyre and I because we watch more sports than most of the elders. He told me that if we get him a schedule, he will keep me updated on KU basketball scores. Like I said. He is my favorite.
On Sunday, a bunch of girls sat down in front of us for the Devotional, and one looks at me, and looks at my nametag, and then starts yelling to her whole district, "I Found Her! I found Hermana Miller!" Well you can imagine my confusion, because I had never seen these girls before. Then they said that they think that their teacher had something for me. I just started laughing and was so happy. Leave it to Daniel De La O Roa (Sorry dude, if you read this, I am aware I probably totally butchered your last name) to leave a package for me when he was down here at Christmas with one of his old mission companions who now works here. I finally got in touch with the teacher last night, and he said he would bring it to me by next Wednesday. It was the best thing ever, and I can't wait to see what is in it!
Other than that, this week has been pretty awesome! We are now half way through our time here at the CCM, and time is FLYING! I need it to slow down, because I love it here so much!
Happy February everyone!
Hermana Miller!
