Wednesday 3/9- My first P-day and it was so great! We got to get up and do some laundry and clean our casa. We emailed until 11 when we had to get on the bus for our trip to the Mexico City temple. Wow, that was just really an awesome experience being there. I'll add some pictures but it was really nice and big inside. This temple only has escalators in it which was super interesting to me! We got little head sets so we could listen to everything in English which was nice :) On our way back from the temple it was a crazy drive! Wow the people in Mexico have no rules when it comes to driving...there literally are no lines for the lanes so everyone just drives together like super close. Plus a bunch of people just walk down the street in front of cars like it's nothing! I took a picture of when we got stuck in the middle of a crazy intersections with cars coming from every direction. We had a standing ovation for our bus driver because of how insane it was. After we got back we had to start our service project. My zones service project is really cool! We get to wear special name tags and help out the new US missionaries. We get to meet them, help them email their families and take them to the comedor (cafeteria) and sit and talk with them. It's the best really :)
Thursday was pretty chill, just our normal schedule. We received new information on our 2 new investigators we have to teach. One of them is named Hilda, who is actually just our Spanish teacher Hermana Alanso and then Cesar who is another one of our teachers Hermano Gonzaga. All of our Spanish teachers are really awesome! I love them! During our five minute breaks we go outside and play ninja together I've one ninja every time we've played haha. I love that game so much lol.
Friday was good too, just our normal thing with class, language study, personal study, companionship study, Fundamentals, and stuff like that.
Saturday was literally the same as Friday...
Sunday was just a really great day. I think Sundays and Wednesdays are my favorite days of the week. Sundays are great because it's more relaxed and you don't have to worry about classes and stuff. We had a lot of meetings though, but they were good. The movie Sunday night was The Testament I think it's called? I had never seen it before but it was just a really good end to the day. I cried at the end where Jesus came down to the Americas and greeted everyone. I hate crying in front of people though.
Monday and Tuesday were pretty much the same...just really busy because we had started to plan and teach our two new investigators. They have been going really well. My favorite part when teaching is teaching about the Restoration of Joseph Smith because I know it so well from living so close to Palmyra before living in Connecticut. I have the first vision memorized so I get to say it to the investigators when we teach. Teaching has been getting so much better and I am getting really good at understanding the Latino people here.
Everyone here is super kind and nice. The spirit here at the CCM is so strong and I'm just really glad that I am training here in Mexico because I feel like I am learning so much more than I would at the Provo MTC. Thanks everyone for the love and support. I seriously love serving the Lord and being here in such a beautiful place. Mucho amor.
