The way home

Where they are moving to

A street they need to cross

Loving the Tlauyudas

New favorite juice!

Que Tal!?

This week absolutely flew by!  Being on the mission is the best.  You feel the spirit so much and you feel so much closer to the Savior.  I love teaching people so much because the spirit is so strong.  This is truly the Lord's work and I'm so grateful to be apart of it.

Buzón de Voz

People like to ask me what my favorite Spanish word is.  I'm not quite sure what my favorite is but I DEFINITELY know what my least favorite is.  "Buzón de Voz" Which means voicemail.  Whenever we hear that when we call someone it means our appointment has fallen and we get sad:( 

Santa Clara

So last week I said I loved the juice Jugo de Valle BUT I have found a new love.  It's this milk you can get at little convenience stores for like 10 pesos AND ITS DELICIOUS.  They come in ice cream flavors and they taste like milkshakes.  I love them so much.  My companion says they're just whatever but that Americans always like them for some reason.  So I have to call the Santa Clara people when I get home and tell them they're selling to the wrong country 

Rivers

So Oaxaca lacks proper drainage in some areas so when it rains the streets become rivers.  We were walking home from the church and found that the street we cross to get home had become a river!  My companion was about to go through the river but I didn't happen to have my floaties with me at the time so I voted against it.  We searched for awhile and took random roads but we finally found a spot to cross.  One part we had to jump to cross a section onto some rocks and I helped a later across which was fun!  

New House and Tlayudas 

The food here is so good!!!  Tlayudas are kinda like Mexican pizzas but it's easiest to eat them like a giant taco and they're delicious.  Also our house is kinda gross so we've been looking for a new place to live.  A member in our ward and her husband just built new apartments that they could rent out to Airbnb but they haven't been able to yet with covid so she offered one of the rooms to us!  They're so nice and we will be the first ones to live there!  It just got approved today so I'm so excited!!

Elder Holland 

So Elder Holland is speaking to our mission soon so we were told to prepare by watching some of his talks.  ITS BEEN SO AMAZING.  Every talk helps me in a different way and you can feel his love of the Savior!  Some good ones I watched recently are "The Laborers of the vineyard" and "The First Great Commandment" check then out they're so amazing!

Love you all!
