Okay this will be a shorter letter this week, we are going to the Teotihucan ruins today!!! Wow I can't believe it's Monday. Where does the time go?! Days are sooooo
long and feel like they will never end then next thing you know I'm in this
little internet place writing to you all!! You may be wondering about my title
this week. I'll explain now so I don't leave you wondering! If I could describe
my mission in one word it would be rice. RICE RICE RICE. I have never eaten this
much rice in my entire life.I love rice but holy smokes. It's like a plateful
and then the main meal which has even MORE food. They really like to feed you
here. Like one time I thought the soup was the main meal and ate all of
it....then the sister came out with a huge plate of food. My heart stopped a
little in that moment haha. Honestly eveyday is the same. It's one of the hard
parts of the mission. Routine. I never knew doing the same thing daily would be
hard hahaha.
We are having a hard time getting new investigators. That's just
how it is sometimes. People are very nice though. I have been doing more of the
contacting. (talking to people about the gospel...stopping them on the street
and knocking on doors...etc).. It's fun haha Every time is probably the same but
I've got to start somewhere! When we knock on doors we pretty much knock on
gates becasue everyone has a gate guarding their housesWe have a couple of
progressing investigators and just teaching as many people that want to hear! I
feel like I'm understanding more spanish everyday so that's a bonus.
Ummm my
companion got sick this week. Just a cold but I know that's it's hard to do
stuff when you want to sleep. We walked a little more this week because when we
have members join us we walked. and guess what?!?! I GOT SUNBURNED. Only a bit
but STILL. It was actually really hot this week. The weather needs to make up
it's mind haha. But I still sang christmas songs all week!
Hna Ojeda and I
assisted a baptism of another ward. I was called on the spot to talk about faith
and repentance. I also sang a musical number - in Spanish! It was scary! Definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone which
helped me learn a lot.
Let's see....coke in mexico is really good and had my
first dr pepper after almost 2 months! wooooo! Yeah that was my week in a
nutshell!! I love you all!!
Love,
Hna Cross
