WEEK ONE DOWN BABAYYYYYY

ummm i dont even know were to start. i feel like i have been in mexico for at least a month but its only been one week! holy frijoles!!

so my companion is Hermana Kaiser from utah and she its great. at first i was super worried about it because i didn't think we would gel but guess what? THE LORD ANSWERS PRAYERS! she is a quirky little sucker but i love her all the same. super hard working so she is awesome at keeping me on task ;)

i live in a casa with twenty girls but only four girls to a room so its great! bunk beds are a thing and im obvi on top! i saw austin every meal before he left the other day...and jessica and i have meals together on the daily! kevin i see occasionally but not as much...its okay though! there are a TON of people from byu here too which makes it super happy!!! i would list names but i don't want to leave anyone out...so yeah. 

everything is in spanish here but the lord is helping recall muchas palabras (translation: many words) to my remembrance! its the coolest thing! i gave a talk on faith this sunday in my little branch...IN SPANISH!!!! how it works is they give everyone the topic, everyone writes a talk and the DAY OF they announce the speakers...week one full talk in spanish..chill.. but no worries i crushed it ;) people didn't believe it was my first week but i promise it was the spirit that did the talking! 

oh! the weather here is PARADISE except for when all of a sudden out of nowhere it decides its time for a torrential rainstorm...that was super cool...wringing out my skirt was probably my favorite part of that whole situation...that and running through the RIVERS that the roads and sidewalks become haha we taught an investigator on our second day here for 25 minutes all in spanish and have been doing that every night since...it does get easier!!

the food is like cafeteria mexican so not bad but,.....i cant complain. the fruit is UNREAL though and i eat it like nobodys business! OH! one morning none of the water was working in the entire CCM and we were all like whaaaaa? turns out a bomb had gone and hit one of our pipes...i was like come on guys, cant you aim?? the spirit is tangible here and when we all sing....dont even try not to cry because our powerful testimonies via song could cause a tsunami!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH i have so much to say and so little time!!! ill just end with telling you about my district...all but one are fresh out of highschool and it shows haha they spent a solid half hour playing with their umbrellas and frequently set up soccer with a paper soccer ball in the classroom but hey, they try. they jokingly call me mom a lot because i have to help them so much and they nominated me as the unofficial translator..no pressure ha ha but they really are all the SWEETEST and our district is super unified. we are legit a family. gosh i love them, also one of the elders in my district is from BYU! we have all the same friends and remember meeting each other like once back at school so its fun we have that in common..wanna know what else we have in common??? THAT BEAUTIFUL WATCH YOU THINK IS ATROCIOUS!! HA! I died laughing when i saw he had the same watch as me. he also played BYU rugby and let me take a picture of the BYU HAKKA...you're welcome boys..oh his name is elder kevin sorenson. and he is from davis california. ill try to get a pic with our matching watches hahaha 

okay i really need to go if i am going to have time to upload any pictures but i should have more time next week! also please tell people to write me letters because i have more time to respond to those!


love you all so much it hurts!
