Hola! Happy month-aversary!

Hola! Happy month-aversary! I cannot believe it has been a month. So much to learn! This week we got 2 new investigadors. So now we teach three people everyday! Our teachers are our investigadors, but they characters they play are always real. Like someone they knew from their mission or one of their friends. This week we taught Sarahi. She is a woman in one of our teachers ward. She stopped going to church because her husband came out as gay. The ward and the opisbo (Bishop)did not handle it very well so she hasn't been to church in a few months. It will be an interesting experience teaching her. I pray that the Lord will bless Sarahi and her ward to be filled with love and compassion! It is weird how I am teaching my teachers, but i know my prayers and my studying will bless the real Sarahi!

  This week we read a message about how each missionary always has two angels with them. I felt so strongly that Grandpa Preece and Grandpa Barfuss were standing behind me. During our closing prayer i had to peek to make sure they werent kneeling beside me. I know this is true for everyone! The Lord always gives us help. Always be sensitive to help coming from heaven!

  Here is my espanol mess up for the week. we got another investigador named Marycruz. I still struggle understanding the language so I thought her sister had died, so i bore a very sincere testimony about how her sister was in heaven, very happy and blah blah blah. Marycruz looked at me with a confused face and said,"My sister is not dead." Whoops! Facepalm. Turns out she had a grandaughter that died. Everyone had a good laugh afterwards. The Lord has blessed me to be more patient with myself. Learning one step at a time, one mess up at a time!

 Fears about death and resurreccion -  During one of our lessons, our investigador had a lot of questions and fears about death and resurreccion, and i was able to remember a scripture that was shared in my seminary class when the Parrish family passed away. The scripture is in Alma 40, verse 11 i believe. The Holy Ghost really can bring information to our rememberance. I know this is cliche, but pay attention in every meeting and class because it will come in handy!

  All of my teachers drive or take a bus for 2 hours to get to the CCM. The cool thing is, they are always happy. I mean ALWAYS. They are always there to give me a hug, a high five, or just a smile. They stay late with us when we have questions with the language and they pray and study for us when they are not at the CCM. They are all in their 20s so they are going to school and dating, but they are always so willing to help. I feel so blessed to be in Mexico learning from their examples.

 Fun Things

1. I have decided that the US needs to get their panties out of a wad. I give the latinas a hug and a kiss everytime i see them! We all just need to show everyone a little more love! Smile at people when you're in the grocery store. Tell your family you love them!

2. We are friends with the lunch workers, so Estaban, the cook, said we could make cookies for our service project on saturday! Yummmmm

3.The best decision i ever made was to not eat refried beans for 2 meals a day.....TMI? hahahha

4. I have eaten so much flan (.an open pastry or sponge cake containing a sweet or savoury filling. A typical flan of this sort is round, with shortcrust pastry, usually coated with sweet syrup. It is similar to a custard tart )Soooooo much. Noone seems to like it but me!

5. we got 104 new missionaries yesterday! 

6. We have had some awesome rainstorms. Every night at about 5 the rain comes a tumblin down.

I love you all so much!

 I hope everyone has a great week.

 Prayers are coming your way!

   LOVE,
