Muy Fuego🔥🔥

 My Spanish teacher says it's better to say que padre instead but it doesn't sound as cool. She won't teach us anymore slang sadly.


This is my first email so bare with me, I got to the CCM on Thursday. After the flight I was insanely overwhelmed, I was put instantly into work. Being yelled at to help put suitcases in a bus in Spanish was so terrifying. I couldn't understand anything. After we got to the CCM we get everything set up which was nice, we got to our room and Elder Morrell broke our sink not even 2 hours after we got to our casa. I had a very interesting birthday, the first full day at the ccm I turned 19, my district calls me unc even though the hermanas are older than me. It was definitely a birthday to remember. Thanks everyone who told me happy birthday it was much appreciated. 

Spanish is hard, I always thought missionaries just figured out the language and it clicks instantly. That's not at all what happens. It's a lot of studying and a lot of mistakes you just laugh at for making. Teaching is interesting, it's difficult but I feel decent about it. Sometimes I'm completely stumped and don't know what to say at all, but I always got my goat Elder Morrell next to me, so if I fail I don't fail alone. Just kidding we do pretty great teaching together or at least I think we do.

Spiritual thought: An elder in my district made a comment about how the ccm is kind of like Lehi's dream. Within the insanely crazy city, there's a sanctuary of the Lord. The ccm is like the tree of life, all around it is the city and that's like the great and spacious building. Now I'm not saying Mexico city is full of sin and bad stuff. What I'm trying to say is in this crazy city that I swear never sleeps (there's always loud music, loud bangs, and other things). I get to be in this place that is so full of the spirit, surrounded by so many people who love Jesus. There is peace, so much peace here. At times it can be a little stressful because I'm learning how to speak a completely new language, I can turn to Christ and find so much comfort that I have never felt in my life here. 

There is peace in this gospel, if you stay on that narrow path and hold onto the rod of iron you can find that eternal peace and happiness. 

Until next week, adiós 🫡
Be happy you got my email this week, i had to put everyone of them in by typing on this terrible phone lol

Earthquakes, fires, and headaches

  Holy what a week. A lot happened. To start off with news years, I thought the US did it big for new years. Nope not one bit. It sounded like I was in a war zone all night. At midnight there were about 100 plus elders screaming and yelling on the field right behind the casa. I watched some of the craziest fireworks I've ever seen, we were all standing on the second counselors driveway, to think back to it there were so many other spots to watch fireworks at midnight in the ccm. Thats okay, he didn't yell at us.  I don't think ive ever had such bad headaches and the amount I have had here is not fun. There's been a few days when I bum around in the morning because my head hurts so bad. Friday was definitely one to remember, I woke up with a bad headache and as I was getting ready, there was an earthquake! I'm not gonna say i jinxed it but the day we got to the CCM i joked about how funny it would be if there was an earthquake, well there was one and to make it bette...

Im famous? No

  This transfer was crazy, we did it all literally exploring the jungle all the way to being cornered in an alley by a dog. Its been so amazing serving God in Mexico.  Just found out my dad is DL as well as finishing my training 🙏🙏 thats pretty hype. Alright lets get into it, here are the highlights of this week: -Divies with the ZL, its been weird both of the divies I have done have been in my area with my companion and then another missionary joining us. Its been great. A long with that, we had a sleepover at the ZLs house. That was pretty fun, they live in a house with 4 other missionaries right now.we had boneless, its basically a better Bdubs. Slept in a hammock, that wss pretty lit. They also had a bench so I was able to workout in a normal way. (I miss the gym so much)  -Fernanda is getting baptized!!!! If you don't know who Fernanda is. Well we put a fecha with her the first day I was here, since then we have been fighting (not really but kinda) with her mom to ...

We are looking for José 😃

  And thats another solid week down here in Mexico, it doesnt stop getting hotter.  It was a pretty interesting week so lets get to the good stuff. Highlights:  -We had zone conference, it was chill. I was able to understand a good chunk of it. That was pretty dope. -A lot of the times when we are looking for people and doing public contacts or just talking to people in the streets, instead of making it weird by just starting talking. I like to ask them if they know José, we are looking for José. Sometimes it works, other times you get sent to a house of jehovah witnesses -Met some pretty dope jehovah witnesses, usually they don't like us missionaries. They invited us in and we talked, gave us an invite to their church. The next day we were walking close to their house and he came running with pan and gave us some fire pan. Chill guys, they wont listen to... We tried... -We were knocking some apartments and i looked out and a huge field was on fire, it looked like it was ...
