La Gira Pt. 3

 

Ok so this was the last week of our tour going around the mission and it was a lot of fun!

We've been doing a lot of exchanges and a lot of district trainings.  It's so great to be able to work with a lot of different missionaries.  We contact and teach a lot of amazing people but it's kinda sad we only get to know them for a day

We were in a place called Juchitan this week and here they speak a lot of Zapoteco.  Zapoteco is a dialect here and it's pretty crazy.  It's nothing like Spanish.  We were in a lesson and the lady got mad at her kids so she was screaming in Zapoteco and chasing her kids around with a chancla in circles around us  it was a pretty fun experience haha.

Something I noticed here in Juchitan is that people here absolutely love my hair.  Some drunk ladies are pretty bold to be honest and say lots of interesting things to say the least.  Also here in Juchitan there is a group of people called Muche.  They were born men but for cultural reasons they dress like women.  They also make some pretty interesting comments about me.  a youth in a ward we visited took a picture with me and said he was going to put it on Facebook and said he met Jack Frost  It's gonna be kinda a bummer going back to the States and I won't be special anymore 

I want to invite everyone reading this to read the Book of Mormon everyday!  It is the word of God!  If we read it everyday and follow its precepts we will have peace.  It's as simple as that!  I know the book of Mormon is the word of God.  I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary.  The Lord helps who he calls and I'm so eternally grateful for it!  We know who we are and who we can become!
