Anita Is Watching Us...

Hola familia y amigos!! 

 

 

It feels so surreal to even be writing this email, and I'm sure I'll say that for many more emails to come, haha. This week was my last full week en el CCM México. It's been a week full of all the emotions for sure. It's hard thinking about leaving my district family, but I know they're all going to do amazing things, and boy oh boy am I grateful for email and Facebook messenger, haha. They're definitely still going to hear from me. 

 

 

Where to start this week?! My companions and I started teaching a lot more lessons this week, which was good, but also stressful!! Guess it's good prep for the field. 

This week wasn't too crazy eventful other than a lot of special little spiritual experiences and just being close with my companions and district as this is our last week together for two or so years. So I've just been trying to soak up all the little moments with them. I am so excited to go to San Diego, and I think my stomach will definitely enjoy going back to foods it's a little more familiar with haha. OHHH hahaha, yeah I guess this is a "funny" worth sharing. Last week I met a Mexican Elder in line while I was getting breakfast and it was a brief maybe two or three minute conversation MAX, and I guess it was just long enough for him to fall in love with me. I didn't think anything of it, I was just making small talk while I was waiting for my breakfast, in fact I forgot his name. But on Sunday night after our devotional, he stopped me on my way out AND ASKED ME TO WRITE HIM DURING OUR MISSIONS. DUDE WHAT?! Get yo head back on yo missionary purpose mah dude. (the woman was too stunned to speak). Don't worry y'all, I'm not planning on writing to him. (So before you roast me Bompa, I'll say it again, I'M NOT WRITING HIM, I'm on the Lord's time right now). But I just thought it was funny and worth sharing. I'm just breakin hearts out here I guess lol.

 

 

This week I'm very grateful for the experiences I've had in my life, specifically the trails I've faced. The things I've learned from those trials have really helped me be able to teach others with more empathy. I hope I will continue to be able to do that throughout my mission. 

 

 

To end off this mail, I thought I'd share a favorite "comfort scripture" of mine. 

D&C 122:9 "Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever." 

 

 

Don't forget to keep me updated with everything, I want to hear from you!! Love you lots.

Seizures, Sarabella, And Sonora Burritos

Haha, okay okay, so before any of you freak out, I AM OKAY. I didn't have a seizure, all is well. I promise.      But this week was LOCO. So buckle up my friends, this is going to be fun.      This past week, I went on an exchange with Sister Warden. (For those of you who may not know what that is, once a transfer we change companions for part of a day just to learn more about how to improve doing missionary work). But for this exchange I went to her area... now I had heard some crazy things about this area, but I didn't really believe it could be THAT crazy. Boy was I wrong. We went to visit someone who told the Sisters that they could come back the next week. Well that week came and it just so happened to be while I was there. Anyway, we pull up to this lady's house, and start walking into the driveway and all of the sudden these two ladies come running out of the house towards the RV that was parked in the driveway. We were so confused, and all the sudde...

BUENOOOOOO!!      How is everyone doing?!?! This is going to be a shorter email again, haha, but I'll tell you some stories.     Also GENERAL CONFERENCE, that was amazing!! General conference is when we get the chance to hear from our modern day Prophet and apostles! They share uplifting messages about Jesus Christ! It was this past weekend, and if you want to know more let me know!!      We went and taught some friends this past week, and we asked one friend (named Walter) if he wants to be able to live with his family forever... AND HE STRAIGHT UP TOLD US NO. It had me and my companions jaws on the floor. But we were able to reroute the conversation and he agreed that he wants to be able to love his family forever. So there's that at least. But it was very interesting. Prayers for Walter would be much appreciated.      This week I tried tacos de lengua (lengua=tongue). It actually was super good!! It was cow tongue!! It was a litt...
