Hope all is well! Its been a
short time since I emailed last but ya know thats how the Mexico MTC Be
sometimes!! Anyways all is doing great here. We are just working hard,
doing the same thing over and over again. Learning a ton of spanish.
Elder Doman and I have been continuing to give lessons to our teachers
and it has been awesome to see our growth. Gift of Tongues is real here
people and its been so crazy to see how comfortable I have been able to
get with the language. Still have a long looooong way to go but in just
three short weeks I have been able to learn so much. Crazy stuff.
At
the tienda here in the Mexico CCM there are Mexican cookies called
Chokis. They are like Chips a hoy on steroids and we are like addicted
to them. Every week at the tienda Elders get 100 pesos to spend and
hermanas get 120 (ridiculous I know) and we probably blow roughly
80-100% of it on Chokis. We've gotten to the point were we will bet each
other a sleeve of Chokis if we can memorize a verse or speak in spanish
for a whole day. Its been a good time. Get your hands on a sleeve of
Chokis if you have the opportunity, it'll change your life.
On
a slightly more spiritual note, we watched a video about obedience in a
devotional last sunday and they showed a talk which included a story
about surfers who were upset about a barrier in the sea that was
blocking them from surfing the bigger waves. However, after further
examination of the barrier with binoculars they were able to see that
the barrier was blocking hungry sharks from entering the beach and
keeping everyone safe. The line that was impactful for me was when he
said, "Don't be too critical of the barrier, its the only thing keeping
from being devoured". Sometimes I look at some of these mission rules we
have and think we are pointless or unimportant and sometimes we can
look at the commandments the Lord has set and feel the same way. But I
promise that these "barriers" are protecting us from far greater threats
that we can't see with the naked eye.
I love you all, hope you're doing so great, continue to email me with pictures because I love seeing how your lives are doing!!
Hasta Miercoles!
