Sunday the
CCM got dedicated and so Elder Oaks what here at the CCM I was like maybe 10
rows away from the pulpit it was awesome! During the dedication all the talks
were in Spanish like everything else here at the CCM we pray in Spanish sing in
Spanish Speak in Spanish EVERYTHING is in Spanish anyway Elder Oaks talk was in
English which was good because then I could just focus on the spirit instead of
trying to understand the spirit and let me tell ya the difference between a
dedicated place and a not dedicated place is AMAZING oh my word its
AWESOME!!
Okay so my
Spanish we taught our first investigator in SPANISH the third day we were here
and it wasn’t too bad! It was actually kinda cool how good my Spanish was! The
first full day we had here was awesome we had a series of orientations and
classes that day but we walked into one of my classes and we were all sitting
there waiting for our maestro and when he walked in and said alright elders y
hermanas there is an investigator in the next room waiting for the missionaries
so we are going to go in there so we all got up and went into the next room ( I
was having a mild panic attack) but he said to be quiet and just observe so we
all went and sat down in the room it was super awkward at first but then
someone knocked on the door and it was two sets of missionaries the
investigator answered the door (all of this was in ingles)and they came in and
were just awful missionaries just so many things were wrong with how they were
teaching and so our teacher had them and the investigator step out of the room
for a little bit and asked what they did wrong and we discussed it and said
things that they could do better so he had them come in again and start over
and they were like so much better but they he had all of them leave again and
he looked at us and said were there any questions you felt like you wanted to
ask her but they weren’t asked and we said yes and so he said so all of
you(there were about 30 of us) are going to be a big companionship and I want
you to work together to help this investigator so she came in
and sat down and we all started asking things then I just got this over whelming warm feeling in my chest and but I didn’t know what to say so....I just opened my mouth and BAM all kinds of stuff was coming out that I didn’t even know I had in me it seriously was the most spiritual experience I have ever had it was amazing! But my Spanish is getting so much better it is super hard! But the better I get at Spanish the harder it is for me to speak English! It’s crazy!

Okay so
the food.....es muy interesante! It’s not too bad it’s just super weird Saturday
they had curly fries and hamburgers and all the sisters in my district were so
excited! I am never been so excited about food! I put lime on everything down
here because it makes it taste like A TON better...I have to say though Mexican
spaghetti with lime is kind of super weird! Every Tuesday night is Pizza night
so it was pretty good last night it’s still super weird!
Okay so I
live in a house full of girls.....ya....there are 6 rooms in the casa and they
all have 4 hermanas in them so yes that’s a lot of girls I have pictures of it
I will send you. We get up at 6:30 every day and lights out is at 10:30 so....
I have some pretty long days that are so full that I never have time to be
bored.
The only
day I have really gotten home sick was Sunday and it was rough... I found that
video on my camera of moms birthday when Mo Kel and I were all singing happy
birthday to her and I listened to it and cried....and I found that video
of Brogan Morgan and Mykelti singing what does the fox say annnnd I cried... it
was crazy! Other than that I have been good!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my district there are two sets of elders 3 sets of hermanas and we all get along so well and it just fun! The elders are crazy!!
Okay so
here is mom’s favorite part. I started getting a cold on Friday but I thought
it was nothing so I didn’t worry about it but it kept getting worse so I went
to the DR. here and he said I had the beginnings of pneumonia don’t freak out
these people down here don’t mess around when they make medicine they gave me
this stuff that’s like a sedative and I take 2 pills twice a day and I get a little
loopy and super tired and they make me skip gym which by the way is the BEST
part of the day yes I know that’s weird coming from me but I love that part of
the day but instead of having fun I have to sleep....so annoying anyway I had
some of the elders give me a blessing (it was their first blessing!!!) and I
feel so much better now I am little stuffy but other than that I am
wonderful!!
Well I am
going to try and upload some pictures now Le amo mucho!!!

gain the true love of Christ and remember you are all missionaries too! As
members you are truly the MOST IMPORTANT part of missionary work! So please
