Holla from Houston!: the weekly

GUYS IT IS PDAY AGAIN!!!!! this week seriously flewwwww by and i couldnt be happier to be sitting at this computer to write y´all again!!

but lets get down to the needy greedy

On thursday we learned that when using the verb "gustar" and referring to a person it means attraction so like "me gusta usted" means "i am attracted to you"...just that fact alone enhanced my life significantly

friday: during a study time today my entire district broke out into that "in the jungle..." songhaha it was unreal...im talking different parts, harmony, percussion sounds, whole ten yards because we arent the kind of district to do anything halfway hahah it was excellent.

saturday: yes im going to quote myself real quick "find the hilarity in life"...i told this to my hermana when she was having a little rough patch and asked how i could laugh so much!! it is so true though..life is hilarious...you just gotta look a little harder for the funny bits sometimes

also it was fast sunday which at the ccm means saturday lunch is your last meal...we "last suppered" so hard that we had to lay down on the grass afterwards just to digest for a minute haha oh ps this morning there was a RATCHET unidentified bug in the house, but my companion doesnt like when i kill bugs...so i scooted it outside with my foot and said to her "i just saved a life, now all i need to do is save some souls...lets do this!!"

sunday: one of my sweet sister trainers gave the lesson on sunday and it was powerful. she asked us two questions. 1. what do you want to say you have done as a missionary? 2. who do you want to have become? SUCH good questions to really take a minute and think about...but i think that can be applied to anyone...what do you want to have done a year from now? who do you want to have become? OH YEAH!!! everybody look up general conference OCT 2007 Octaviano Tenovio and watch his eight minute bit..he taught a lesson and i straight up love this man. his gusto for the gospel is tangible and i want to be him. inbetween devo´s we played "how well do you know your companion" and it was a hilarious and highly entertaining bonding experience as a district!!

Oh a random mexican elder i did not know called me by name and asked to take a picture with me and then started trying to talk to me and stuff but i had to go...but later when i was leaving to walk home a different elder walks in our classroom and says one of the mexican elders sent him with chocolate and a note for one of the hermanas...and when he say my nametag he was like "oh! hermana hull! its for you i am sure!!" haha it was from the mexican elder that took a picture with me! he gave me hersheys chocolate and a note that had his email and a scripture...look up Moses 6:34....i died laughing!!!

monday: okay so today we had to go to the enfermia (doc office) first thing for my companion but we got there fifteen minutes early so we sat on a bench and i read alma 5 outloud. EVERYONE STOP AND READ THIS CHAPTER!!! it is amazing!! i love how blunt and straight forward it is!!!

had to do wall sits today for 3 minutes and 40 seconds no breaks today for losing a "por vs para" activity...my legs felt like noodles after

also ether 12 is a wonderful chapter on faith!!! everybody is all like alma 32 is like the best faith chapter and im like yeah its awesome...but lets talk about ether 12 #missionaryarguments

I GOT A LETTER FROM ANDREW AND IT MADE MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!! thank you so much for your talk sweet boy! you are going to be an amazing missionary one day!! i read some of the other missionaries your talk and they were all "whoa how old is your brother?" YOU ARE A MISSIONARY ALREADY!!! oh i met this hermana that is the only memeber in her family and has NO family support...she is amazing..i dont think i could do this crazy thing im doing if i didnt know yáll were lovin and supportin back home!!! i feel so lucky to have the BEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS EVER!!! not even a biased statement ;)

tuesday: great devo by a mexican version of elder holland. this guy was crazy passionate about the gospel. his hands where flying and i wouldnt be surprised if he worked up a sweet giving an excellent devo on obedience! he posed the question "why do you keep the commandments? those whoe obey out of habit will be come indifferent...etc etc but the best reason to keep the commandments is be cause we love jesus christ" i loved it

also since i have blisters (which i found out today one has an infection but i just take an antibiotic four times a day and ill be golden) i get to wear flip flops! which is great but the halls are super slippy so i straight up landed flat on my rumplestilskin in the hall and had all the hermanas crying becasue they were laughing so hard....do it for the hermanas...always

TODAY: got to go to the mexico city temple and it was AMAZING!!! its closed for some reason...but wer hit up the visitor center and what not and it was unreal! the temple is straight up in the city...like you are casually strolling through the craziest busiest part of town..BOOM left turn..BOOM there it is...house of the Lord! it was an amazing opportunity and the spirit was tangible!!

on our way driving back our bus driver pulled over and bought us all bananas from a guy on the side of the road...seemed legit..haha i think it was the best banana i have ever eaten!!

well i love you all so much it hurts!!

ps try and figure out dear elder becasue snail mail is a joke here and literally moves at a snails pace...but dear elder takes like two days so please and thank you from your desparate missionary haha

LOVE LOVE LOVE

paz y bendiciones,

hermana hull
