This week was awesome.
Like usual our teacher/investigator told us when we taught her Monday that it
was the best lesson we gave. We went in with no notes and just taught by the
Spirit and she said the Spirit is really strong! I think she really likes me because
she is always telling me how well I am doing. She is just so awesome!!!! It’s
funny because the Mexican elders love me! Random ones will just come to me and
ask me to play volleyball with them or tell me I am so good at volleyball, it
is hilarious! They are so fun!!! And it is helping me practice speaking Spanish
which is super helpful!!! But it was also funny because one of the Mexican teachers
came up to me today while I was eating lunch and asked me where I learned to eat
my tortillas because I guess I eat them like Mexicans and him and 2 other
teachers were impressed that I was eating them that way!!! It was super
funny!!! I was able to attend the temple again! It was awesome as usual!!! I
just love going through the temple it really just makes me feel so close to
God!!! I feel the spirit just being on the grounds! But it was such an awesome
experience!!! I was able to watch the First Presidency Christmas devotional on
Sunday! They broadcasted it from Salt Lake!!! It was really awesome!!! It was
good to hear the Prophet speak again!!! I was also able to listen to Elder Cook
of the Quorum of the 12 speak yesterday which was awesome. He talked about the
mission calls being called of God!!! I always love hearing that because I know
that Texas is exactly where I am needed and I couldn’t have asked for a better
place to serve!!!! But ya, I love it here and am sad to go but I am also
so excited to get to Texas!!!! But ya!!! Thanks for being the best mom in the
world i love you sooooooo much!!!!

Thanksgiving
here was different but really awesome!!! In Mexico their big meals are always
lunch so every lunch we have a nice sized meal. For Thanksgiving we had a big
turkey lunch! I was able to eat it all but the pumpkin pie. I did get ice cream
though which was awesome!!! The devotional was incredible, we listened to Elder
Nelson from the Quorum of the 12! It was such an amazing talk!!! The lessons
are going… I feel like I’ve learned a lot and have memorized over 100 verbs,
but still have a lot to go. I have been working really hard! It was funny,
yesterday after we taught our investigator: aka our teacher, she came and asked
me how many verbs I knew because she could tell I was using them. She was
really impressed! It is super hard to conjugate them, but we have a bunch of
natives that will come and help us! They are super nice and play volleyball
with us every day! It sounds like your Thanksgiving was a blast! I missed your
cooking and I still miss your cooking!! I told Cassie that when we finish our
missions I am going to have her come over so she can try your gluten free
pizza!! We have already planned all this stuff we are going to do together
after we return home. It’s awesome!!! I am going to miss her like crazy!!!
Sounds like Rianna loves the kids, which is super good! It seems like they need
it! I almost started crying just reading about them. They are definitely in our
home for a reason! I am so glad that you and dad followed the spirit of God and
chose to do foster care! You guys are seriously my heroes and I look up to both
of you so much. I hope I can touch people lives the way you and dad touch so
many people’s lives!!! I love you both so MUCH and miss you like CRAZY!!!

Hey
family! What are you going to do for Thanksgiving? At the CCM were having a
devotional tomorrow night for Thanksgiving, I am really excited!!! The package
still has not arrived hopefully in the next couple of days. Spanish class is
going good. Last night me and Cassie tried to only speak to each other in Spanish,
it was hard but we did it using the dictionary a lot. This week was really
good. Thursday was a major testimony and confidence booster for me. For class
we joined in with a group of the Latinos. They taught us then we taught them. I
had brought my whole plan that I was going to teach. I was planning on just
reading it. When I went to start teaching the Hermana I got a feeling I should
scratch that lesson and tell her about my 9th grade year. In my head I was
thinking that was so crazy, I can’t speak that much Spanish. I did it anyway,
and although I struggled through most of the words I was able to tell her my
story. I asked her how she felt after I finished and she started to cry. I was
a little confused. I didn’t think I told the story good enough but I could tell
the spirit touched her. She kept thanking me and hugging me. I realized then
that I just need to teach by the spirit and it will all work out.
We also did a
thing called TRC where we teach volunteers, but our teacher gave Cassie and me
a real investigator, right when he told us we both were like filled with the
spirit and taught a really awesome lesson! It was so super cool! It gets me
excited to get out on the field.
We went to the
temple today and went through in Spanish. It was pretty difficult but such a
cool experience. That temple is just beautiful. Sitting in the celestial room
is just my favorite. I was overcome with the spirit. It’s such a cool thing
having the spirit with you like 24\7. It really is a blessing.
But ya, that’s my week
keep me updated on the lil’ ones they seem like so fun!
Love you ssoooooo much
and miss you like crazy!!!!
