MONTH MARK!!!!!!!
just kidding mom, im coming home in 17 ;)
okay! so this week...
thurs: one of our teachers played some hawaiian reggae song for legit like 30 seconds and it hurt my soul...listen to lots of great music for me because chica is starving for some quality jams!!!
hahahaha oh also every night at 10:30 almost on the dot some random elder BELTS the beginning song of the lion king circle of life...it was funny the first time...but now im like save it homie
friday: I GOT THREEEEE LETTERS!!! thank you grandma and grandpa, daddy, mom, and the little munchkins for your sweet sweet notes! ive sent a couple responses and am still working on some more so sit tight and keep your eyes on the mail!!
sat: today i tried reading the Liahona that michele hamilton (THANK YOU) got me!! its the perfect challenge because i dont have the english version to compare it to so i have to rely on my studying and look up spanish words i dont recognize etc...its rough, but im loving it!!
also, met and talked with a ton of latinas today..they are my favorite!! always kiss my cheeks and help me practice! we exchange tongue twisters and just end up crying from laughing so hard...language barrier isnt even a thing when you love the people!!
got locked outta the casa after gym...tried to break in..unsuccessful...but let me tell you, if i had a knife id be rooooollllin!
also...there was a crazy airborne virus that knocked out three elders in my district..they all got fevers of 102 F and threw up, sore throat, cough, achyness, whole nine yards...my hermana got a subdued version of it a long with her other health problems but it didnt really take its toll until sunday... i told the virus to "STAY ON YO SIDE" so yeah...im fine haha and this week didnt have as many exciting things happen becasue everybody was sick!! sorry!
sunday: today had every potential to be a bad day because my hermana was sick in bed and the elders were still out for the count..but it was actually awesome! we were finishing up lunch when hermana kinkade goes "are the elders gonna come eat or not??" we had been fasting for them and them not showing up to lunch had our faith waivering for like half a second...BUT THEN my hermana points out the window and yells "here they come!!" sure enough the three of them were rollin up the street! we all were waving and shouting and one elder goes "it felt like we had just survived some crazy battle and were being welcomed home from war!"" haha love it
also saw an amazing DEVO by elder bednar about the character of christ. if you havent seen it, GO WATCH IT!! its all about getting over the natural man! i loved the part where elder bednar calls out all missionaries everywhere by saying ]"GET OVER YOURSELF, THE MISSION IS NOT ABOUT YOU" such a solid piece of advice and just the reminder i needed! i am not learning spanish to benefit myself, its so i can share the sweet gospel with the spanish speakers of texas! any blessings i receive from learning this language are just icing on the cake!!
also, at dinner in the lines hermanas always get to eat before the elders so this elder wanted more tamales and asked me to go through the line for him...i said yes if he made me a nutella and peanut butter toasted sandwich...he quickly agreed not realizing that waiting for the toaster would be like the same amount of time for him to go through the line whereas for me it was no sacrifice at all hahaha oh well...also! that same elder came by our casa that night to drop off cupcakes for us all! so sweet...our elders are super good to us! they even gave my hermana a blessing for her health problems! her faith is so strong...just minutes after the blessing she felt well enough to attend our next meeting!! I LOVE SUNDAYS
monday: all of the elders were practicing how to go from a casual handshake into getting the person in position for baptism fluidly..so goofy
also at dinner in the pozole (soup type thing) there was some questionable porkk..elder sorenson pulls out a piece and goes "anyone want a left ventricle??" it really did resemble some part of a heart...yikes
also said goodbye to jessica today...actually i never actually said goodbye, just see you later! LOVED having hermana weber here with me!
tues: discussing favorite chick flicks with some of the elders? that was a thing..30 seconds of silence for Robin Williams? also a thing..cant believe he committed suicide!! i found out all the details from a cute little mexican man so if im wrong, by all means correct me! it would be awesome if robin williams wasnt actually dead...speaking of the little mexican man, he also invitied me aver for pizza with his family in seventeen months!! he was the sweetest and taught me the the most efficient way to fold the bottom sheet thing..you know with the elastic? cant wait to teach yall in 1.5
also, my blisters are almost gone so i wore real live shoes and scored a goal in soccer!! granted i wasnt playing latinas...but baby steps are okay right??
well i love you all SOO much and hope you have the greatest week! REMEMBER: God is our loving heavenly father which makes us all family..so love everyone!!
paz y bendiciones

A friend from BYU!
"also mexican shirts...so thats happy...it was SO WEIRD to wear real live pants...."
"yeah! today is my second to last pDAY here at the ccm...im going to cry.."
And everyone PLEASE write Emily a letter - but since it takes so long to get letters to Mexico, send any letters to the Houston Mission address (posted on the sidebar), so they don't miss her!
