Week 3: First Days In The CCM

Hola everybody 


I am finally in México and wow what a week. I got to México and guess what my companion Hermana Woodson couldn't come because something was wrong with her passport so she is now in the Provo I am so sad. But I am now in a trio with Hermana Millar and Hermana Eppley. They are so fun and really good at Spanish so they have helped me a ton. 


The first night here was a little rough because since my companion couldn't make it I had to spend the night alone and it was tough but I got through it. The next day I was able to get my room assignment fixed so now all three of us ( me, Hermana Millar and Hermana Eppley ) are all in the same room and its a lot of fun.


It is so hot here but on Thursday and Friday we had thunder and lightning storms it was really cool.


People were right when they said the food here is bad. There are a lot of things I am to nervous to try and the things that I do try are not so great so I eat a lot of watermelon. Elder Kesler taught me that if you lie to yourself and say its good it will become so. He was very wrong. We have a fun little saying in our district its  "cero miedo" which means zero fear so before we eat something new we say "cero miedo" and brave the food ( or we say it for no reason at all ).


My Spanish is coming along but on friday I had to attempt a five minute conversation with an actual latino and lets just say I sat there with a blank look on my face with the words " Lo siento" coming out of mouth every ten seconds. I don't know about you but I call that a success.


Today I get to teach my first lesson in Spanish. Its more of a mock trial but I am really nervous but I'll have Hermana Millar and Hermana Eppley with me so it shouldn't be to bad but wish me luck anyways.


I love you all

Week 76: 17 Months, Hotter Than Mars And ITS SPRING!!!

Whatttttttt i cant believe I am at 17 months ! Monday we did a district Pday in the Mountains. It sounds all nice and dandy but it wasnt. The ride up was twisty and we were in this old bus that tilted off the side of the cliff everytime we turned. We saw a 100 foot tall virgin statue and then a few yards away this minsicule jesus statue that you had to squint to see ( argentinas sure got her priorities straight here ) It was over 100 degrees and dusty. We hiked and ate asado which was the best part. I felt like angelia in the office when I said the music was too loud. On my behalf we couldnt hear eaxh other and had to ScReAm to speak.  Anways we ended up getting stuck in the Mountain because we missed the bus twice but it was fine because we ended up playing Catan i was partnered with elder Heredia and we won. and we drank mate you know theres nothing like sharing the same drink and straw between 8 missionaries as a bonding exercise. we love a good mateada. Tuesday: we we...

Week 22: A Cruel Joke And Lautaros Baptism!!!!!!!

Image
Muy buenos dias bienvenidos a una otra semana!  Bueno this week was good on Monday me and Hermana Braatz wondered into a Catholic Mass where we got really wierd looks. It was a very peaceful experience we also saw some one get shushed by a priest and it was really funny we had to leave before we laughed to loud.  Thursday: our district leaders played a CRUEL joke on us. In the afternoon we waited patiently to recieve a call saying the Lautaro passed his baptism interview and at 4:30 or so we recieved a text from the Elders saying that they needed to talk to us about Lautaro because he failed his interview. We freaked out trying to call them sent texts and they werent responding so we trecked the 40 minute walk to Lautaros house and knocked on his door determined to find out what happened his sister answered and said that he had left because he failed the interview and we asked about what had happened and she told us that he couldnt answer some of the questions  because we...
