Week Three In Paradise

I feel like a GIANT in Mexico...

My companions are just short and so are the Mexicans!

Hola!

Everything is pretty much the same but guess what? This week is our half-way point for the CCM!! It is crazy! I am going to miss this place and especially the people. The CCM had its one year anniversary on June 24th and I can’t believe that it has only been open for one year. They had cake in order to celebrate - but of course - it was chocolate. My companions said that it was really good!

There is a virus going around the CCM and people are dropping like flies! There is an Elder in our district, who got super sick, but he is a trooper and he is doing a lot better now. Thanks momma for the medicine you gave me - mothers know best! My companions and I have been lucky and are pretty healthy, so life is good!

Our devotionals are usually broadcasted, because we are so small. But tonight we are having our first big live devotional; he is a member of the 70’s from here in Mexico. He only speaks Spanish, so we get to wear headphones and have it translated.

This Friday is the 4th of July, I am so jealous! I am going to miss that - but here in Mexico - there is a Catholic church or something right outside the walls that has a fiesta every night and they set off cannons and stuff so we will get a little feel of it down here. I hope everyone enjoys barbecuing, fireworks, and the parade!

This morning we were getting ready and apparently you can’t have a blow dryer and a straightener plugged in at the same time or else it will blow a fuse - welcome to Mexico! So Hermana Ballard went to go try and turn it on and somehow managed to turn ALL of our electricity off, it was hilarious! So we basically got ready in the dark with a little light from the window. Luckily another Hermana from the other room was a little smarter than us and figured it out.

Another crazy thing that happened today...
We were playing basketball and the MTC President´s wife came over and asked if her granddaughter Maria could play with us (she turned 10 yesterday) and of course we said, “Yes!” So we played with her and she is a baller, she was on my team and we won! It was all her, because I have no basketball skills. But then Hermana Pratt (President´s wife) invited us over for pumpkin pancakes in their casa. It was so good!! They were delicious and how often can you say that you ate food that his wife prepared over at the President’s casa? Yeah not very much, but they are such a sweet family, we had a lot of fun!
