Mexico MTC!

 Hi guys! I am in Mexico! 🇲🇽 🙏😍 

The past week has been actually crazy and so many emotions and one of the best weeks of my life. 🍉👐

I said bye to my fam at 4am on Thursday 😞 (also shoutout to President Cobb for coming ❤️) and arrived at the CCM (my missionary training place) at 7 that night and it was sick. The CCM is WAY nicer than I thought and I am honstly living a boujee life here. 🤩🌴 

- idk what I was excepting but basically we have pink sheets AND an ironing board in our rooms, if that gives you a better idea 👸👸

My companion is Hermana Brimhall- and to put it shortly, we're the same person. 🧜‍♀️

The moment I saw her was THE BEST. ‼️

I had waited all day (since like 3am 💤) to see her and hanging out in person is 503803x better than zoom calls! 🤫

We've had a lil too much fun matching outfits everyday this week, and absoluty grinding during our workout time. 💪💸 We might get accidentally ripped while we're here 😄

Alright. Before I came here all I heard was: "the food is so bad. You're going to get sick. Be prepared." 

(**cough cough** cooper and caleb)

So... I was indeed spooked for my tummy 🙂‍↕️

That being said- I am obsessed with the food. Oh my- its literally SO yummy 🍉🌮

I will say- breakfast isnt great, and if you know me, you know that is my favorite meal, BUT for breakfast me and Brimhall usually just mix my chocolate protein powder (thanks nana) with milk and chomp on some watermelon, and it gets the job done. 🙉

For the other meals, they ALWAYS have watermelon and cantalope 👅 And some fire chicken or beef and we make tacos out of everything. 😋😋 Muy bien. 

In terms of classes and Espanol, it's hard! I feel behind in Spanish, but I also have grown so much. 🇲🇽 I am working on trying to not be a perfectionist when I am speaking or practcing- because I know that is what is going to help me grow. 

We have two 3 hour classes a day, and I actually love them. 🌞🌞 My teachers are so fun and they love to make fun of us, but they are also so genuine and make me want to shed some tears sometimes. 🥲

 I got my teacher Hermana Vivas to do the "Wait" dance (shoutout bekah, sum, and drew) and it made me feel like i was back at BYU 💃✋️🥹

I also had the chance to get way closer to my district (the 8 kids who I do all my classes with and are my good pals)

 I have been so blessed with a fire district, and we have had some really spirtual and special discussions this week. ❤️‍🔥 Sunday was specifically special, we had a lot of time to share our thoughts with each other, and I love watching all of our testimonies grow together 🥹

This week we had some super good devotionals- including Elder and Hermana Douglas, of the seventy. (some amazing people who have high authoirty in our church.) 👍 

Something Elder Douglas talked about was embracing challenge and hardship, instead of trying to get rid of it.💯

 It reminds me of the saying: "get comfortable with being uncomfortable." 😌

A lot of things feel hard right now and uncomfortable,(aka spanish) but the Lord IS helping me. I see his hand in my life every single day, especially in my studies, the beauty around me, and my companion. 💌
