Al Pastor Tacos!

Hey Everyone!!

How are you all doing?!  I am in Mexico which is so crazy!  It has definitely been difficult sometimes because I understand about 4% of everything that is said to me but I still love it!  It's so amazing to be teaching real people with real problems about our Savior.  I don't totally understand what is said most of the time but I do understand that the Spirit is there!  The Spirit is a common language that everyone can understand!!  

Mexico

Mexico is quite the place, and I LOVE IT.

The buildings are so colorful, the people are so kind, the gangs of wild dogs, AND 10 Al PASTOR TACOS FOR 50 PESOS (That is like 3 and half dollars and it was so delicious... best day ever) I LOVE IT ALL.

My family, specifically my sister, who is a trauma nurse should not read this next part. Ok, so the driving here is so crazy and fun. I'm pretty sure they have a system, but I can't quite figure out what it is so I just trust in the Lord and in my taxi driver haha.  Also in Oaxaca they have these things called moto taxis which are these little 3 wheeled golf cart things that zoom around everywhere.  They can fit 3 people in the back so it's usually me and my companion and then a little old Oaxacan lady will hop in as well with all of her groceries There are a ton of speed bumps here as well and the moto taxis go pretty slow when we go over them (usually) which is good because seatbelts don't really exist here

OK nurse Morgan you can continue reading here. 

 

I love it here so much! Sure it can definitely be hard sometimes but the Lord provides and gives hope!  It is so amazing that as I am bringing other people closer to Christ I become closer as well.  I feel like I can feel a small portion of the Savior's infinite love for every single one of us.  God truly does care about every single one of us and about every aspect of our lives. Even the little things.  So pray to our loving Heavenly Father who wants to speak with you!

Let me know how you are all doing!  Love you all!
