Already Dreaming En Español!!

Hola, mi familia y amigas,

Hermana Boden here! Well, I can quite say I absolutely love it here! Everyone is so happy, welcoming, and the spirit is so strong. My companion and district are asombrosos (amazing—one of my new favorite words en español, jaja), but seriously, I feel like I have known them forever.

It is extremely pretty here! I can't even imagine what Tuxtla Gutiérrez is going to be like, ah! Haha, I also love the heat! It has rained a few times here, and apparently, there was a loud thunderstorm the first night we were here, and I slept through it. (My great sleeping skills got the best of me this time.) But don't worry, I heard the thunder the next day, and oh my GOODNESS, the thunder here is so LOUD—it's flippin' awesome!

Also, more about sleeping, haha. I had my FIRST DREAM en ESPAÑOL during the first week of being a missionary. Haha, I didn't know any of it except "HERMANA BODEN." Sooo, that was my sign right there that there is hope for Hermana Boden in her journey of learning Spanish. Maybe in my next dream in Spanish, I'll be able to recognize what is said. I'll let you know!

A scripture I read this week that I love is 1 Peter 3:17:

"For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing."

Below are some pictures! It is a Google Photos link (I hope it works, ha). Alright, I don't like long emails, so I'm going to end here. ¡Adiós!

¡Holaaaaa! In my studies this week, I have been focusing on the people out in the field I get the opportunity to teach. Also, I leave for the field next week, and I’ve been here over a month (time slow down!). A scripture I read and that has stuck out to me is in Luke 15:4, and it says: "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?" The last few years, I’ve had the desire to be a nurse or something like it. There is so much I can say, but through my CNA clinicals and working at an assisted living facility, I’ve seen people in pain, and it hurts to watch. It got me thinking about how our Savior feels that pain. He feels our pain, sorrows, and trials. That can't be easy, but it is also a blessing because He knows how we feel. So turn to Him in prayer, and He can bring you comfort. I know from experience because I pray A LOT that He is a GREAT LISTENE...

¡Buenos días! ¿Cómo están? How is everyone doing? Here in Cacahoatán, a member, Hermano Marvin, has been teaching my compañera and me more about the history of the Book of Mormon, and let me tell you, it's FASCINATING! After our discussion, he asked me how I felt, and I said, "NO TENGO PALABRAS" - "I HAVE NO WORDS." First off, he showed us a map of the Book of Mormon lands, which are in the Mesoamericas. He says Hermana Huerta and I are extremely lucky because we are literally serving in "A PROMISED LAND" mentioned in the Book of Mormon! There are a few stones here, but one we specifically focused on is the IZAPA STONE (The Tree of Life). This stone includes many pictures and symbols from the scriptures! Ahh, I wish I could sit down and explain it all to you right now! I still need to do a lot more research, though. I bought a stone and will put a picture of it in my Google Photos, along with the map, for you all if you are interested! You can basicall...

¡NECESITA COCA!

Hola! OK, first off - RAMBUTAN (the BEST fruit in the WORLD)!! I tried it a week ago and fell in love! Sadly, rambutan is only grown here. Sorry. I also tried papaya and mangosteen, along with many other things. Papaya is alright, and mangosteen is also really good! They grow on so many trees! With that said, gullible Hermana Boden was trying to get some rambutan off a random tree (jumping as high as I could) when a lady spotted us! I was like, "oh no," because it could have been her tree. My companion and I looked at each other with concern... The lady said, "come here!... I have more inside." Phew. We got some fruit and were also able to give her a little lesson. So my gullibility led us to teach this lady! Pretty good! Hermana Boden also put her hair in a French braid, a pretty proud moment! (I'm not very good at hair). I always had my cousin Rue do it back home. Here they call Coke "Coca." When I was younger and started my love for sports, I quit d...
