Hello from the bubble of the CCM!
So, sounds like life is getting crazy out in the real world. We don't know much here about what is going on. My mom keeps me updated. There are missionaries here who can't get into Argentina, Canada, Jamaica, and other countries. They have closed their borders. They are staying here for 30 days to see if their visas can get approved, if not they will get re-assigned. They aren't letting any more Americans into the CCM/ Mexico MTC. We aren't allowed to go to the temple anymore because it is shut down. I am bummed about that. I loved the temple here. No one really cares about the virus here, its just the worry if we will get to our missions.
Last week when we went to the temple we were walking around the Visitor's Center and a man had us come look at something. He took us to a room in the Visitor's Center where sister missionaries teach on the computers on Facebook. They have an apartment building there for them. We are all thinking that might be a premonition. Maybe that is where I will end up. We will see.
I am learning a lot. We are all really grateful to be some of the only people in the world still having church. We had a regular sacrament and church this week. That was nice. I can't imagine not being able to take the sacrament. For some reason, I was called now and meant to be here during this crazy time in the world. We all feel that way here. There is a weird vibe here. We are not sure what will happen if we will get to our missions or not. My mom says the whole world kind of feels like that right now. It will be an experience I will never forget.
The relief society president gave a lesson the other day and was talking about women and the priesthood. She said that Eve made the 2nd biggest decision in the history of the world She had revelation for her family through the priesthood and knew what had to be done. It was a cool lesson. We listened to the prophet's message during sacrament meeting about the corona virus. I am excited for conference and the chance to be here at the MTC for this historic conference. The Jamaican missionaries were supposed to fly to Jamaica this week. They got to the airport and they shut down the borders of Jamaica so they had to come back. The Jamaican teacher here knows Brodey and says they talk about him in Jamaica still.
The food is horrible here. I am not eating much so I am glad for the packages. I got Kadee's chocolate and grandma and Sue's package. I also got a letter from mom and Christian's mom. The mail helps a lot. Thanks for the letters and packages.
I am struggling with the memorization. Memorization has always been hard for me so pray that I can memorize all of the things I need to. I am getting good at listening to the spirit and hearing his promptings. It has been cool to really hear Him. I am good at talking to people and having conversations in Spanish. I love meeting new people. We are doing a safety zone video night this week and eating all of my snacks. We play volleyball for sports. When we do "Come Follow Me" it is the best time of the week. We talk, we cry, and learn together. My favorite word in Spanish is Gozo. It means joy. I am trying to find mine every day.
Love you all!
