¡HACIA NUEVAS AVENTURAS!

¿Que pasa, fam?

I said goodbye to many amigos at the CCM. Not gonna lie, that was hard, but I have faith I will see them each again! They have no idea the impact they had on me—my lifelong amigos. They are going to bless lives just like they blessed mine. Well, I left for Tuxtla on Wednesday and traveled with my Tuxtla amigas to the mission home, where we stayed the night! Quite the adventure, haha. Then I met my new compañera, Hermana Huerta—woot woot! She is both helpful and patient, which is exactly what I was praying for. We then traveled 7 hours by bus to Tapachula! Guys, it is beautiful here! When you say GREEN, Tapachula pops up, haha!

Pretty great week here! I taught some lessons in Español, bore my testimony a lot (the gift of tongues is real, by the way), and met some cool people (the members are extremely welcoming)! I feel my Spanish is coming along, but I really struggle with understanding what people are saying to me. Even back home, I struggled to listen to people in English, haha! But I’m willing to keep working and speaking, so I can communicate with all my amigos here!

Also, a member told me they haven’t had an American girl missionary in this area for 5 years, which makes sense, haha. But thankfully, I learned some boxing skills (only if needed) from Elder Mahe from my district at the CCM!

Also, I didn’t know this, but we ate lunch at one of the member's houses, and her daughter (so cute, by the way) was asking me English words and vice-versa. My compañera said we can teach a group of kids English this week, so I’m looking forward to that! I didn’t know we could do that as missionaries!

Scripture of the week - 2 Corinthians 4:18:

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

¡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...
