This week was crazy!!! It had so many ups and downs but every minute is an adventure. Right after I got done with pday on Wednesday everyone started puking and getting sick so basically everyone has been down for the count all week, but me and my comp haven't gotten sick so were killing it. I also lost my blocka (name tag) for a hot minute so that panicked me but it all worked it... so I was wearing it one night and as we were leaving the classroom at 9 I realized it was gone so I high key panicked lol (tears and all) but I got home and I was still panicking but in the morning I woke up and went to put my gym clothes on and there my shirt was laying in the y closet with my name tag on it... so Idk how that happened but I'm so grateful and blessed. Two sisters in my district got sick then so me and my comp took care of them. And our elders got sick so it was only four of us in all of our classes. Then we had church which was awesome I didn't get called on to give my talk so hallelujah. We did come follow me as a district and it was amazing probably the part of the MTC where I could feel the spirit the most... actually talking about the gospel and not only about the language. On Monday we had a pretty good day, no huge ups or downs so that was good... but then night came lol and we were all in our of the Hermanas rooms just talking about the mission and everything there were probably 5 of us in there and then... like 9 GUNSHOTS went off just over the wall of the CCM compound and we all hit the deck lol the one girl instinctively turned off the light and we were all on the ground in like .2 seconds lol... we stayed there for a second and like 9 more came. Were use to hearing gunshots pretty frequently but these were right over the fence and our apartment is up against the fence basically lol. But then we just went to bed and didn't let them bother us anymore . Mexico is going through a huge government picketing and everything so sometimes our teachers can't come and teach us. But we feel safe inside. Just everyone trying not to get sick lol. And our district started calling people who want to leave "wall jumpers" and it's hilarious. We had a really good devotional last night so here are some quotes.
One day the hard work it took to come on mission and stay on a mission will be a badge of honor as we move through the veil" Devotional by Elder Anderson
There is not one missionary who did not leave something behind and miss something
So that was really cool! And today for pday were going to the temple
All of you should listen to
Conmigo quédate, Señor #98 in the Spanish hymn book. Its absolutely my favorite song in the language, but everything in Spanish has more diligence behind it if that makes sense lol
The temple was super fun they have a little shack that you can buy skirts and stuff from so I bought skirts and 6th week I'm gonna buy some more ties, it was super cool. It was our district and zone leaders, so we were all in the session wearing the headphones. And the visitors center was super cool it was in a big building and it was like a mock town when Jesus Christ would've came to America so it was super cool. I have a video of part of it. Its definitely the nicest building in mexico city.
I miss all of you guys so much and I love you guys!!! I'll be back in america in like 3ish weeks lol.
