¡HOLA!
how is everyone? I
miss you all lots.
I hope Mom and Dad got
off to girls camp alright and things are going great up there! Can't wait to
hear about your adventures.
Happy anniversary,
Jenessa and Roland! I love you guys to the moon and back. Seriously though, how
has it been a whole year/ only a year since you got married? Loco.
PSA: I get to email
again on Saturday. So if anyone wants to write me and be able to say you wrote
me while I was still in the CCM, this is your last chance.
So this week has been
awesome. It's gone realllllyyy fast. seriously I woke up today and we were all
like, oh hey! it's Pday! ...woohoo!!
Today has been the
best because we FINALLY got to go to the Mexico City Temple!! Not in it though
(renovation is my least favorite thing.) We did get to go to the visitors'
center and buy some nifty Mexican stuff though. So we're pretty pumped. I'll
send some pics from that for sure.
Last Friday we had an
INSAANE thunder storm. it even hailed some. we were doing a service project and
got soaked. then we went back to our casa, and the street we live on was
completely flooded. so naturally we took pictures in it. The weather here is
crazy. Also, the drainage system here is very impressive. That street-pool was
gone in like 20 minutes. Good work, Mexico.
Funny story of the
week. I accidentally sat on one of the elders in my district. Don't worry, I
jumped off so fast he probably wouldn't have noticed if we weren't
missionaries. We were playing a weird version of musical chairs (weird because
our maestro was singing hymns..). Whoever was left standing had to say a phrase
using the grammar concept we were studying. Yeah.. so.. I sat on him and I don't
think I'll ever live that down. all for the sake of memories, right? haha
We had a couple great
devos this week. Sunday the director of the CCM spoke about letting our past go
and focusing on our missions completely. That was wayyy good. on Tuesday a
member of the seventy, Elder Valenzuela, came and spoke. he was super good too.
He talked about our purpose as missionaries and told some sweet stories from
his mission and about how we need to invite everyone. It was a
great talk, especially since I'll be in the field in 4 days.
We got to help welcome
the new missionaries yesterday. The cafeteria has never been more full.
This week I've been
trying to study and learn like crazy cause I definitely don't know Spanish yet
and I have to teach people real soon. But it's all good. My spanish is a lot
better than when I first got here, and I have a VERY long way to go. I think
being in the field with a trainer and real people will help a lot. I am
seriously so pumped.
I am gonna miss the
CCM and my district for sure, but I can't wait to get going. I can't believe
I'm leaving here already. I've loved being here and I'm sure I will love Texas.
BRINGITON.
Love,
Hermana Lance
