Adventure is Out There!

Hola my wonderful blog readers! I hope everyone is happy and healthy! 

Life here in Mexico continues to be full of surprises! Here are a few random things about Mexico City

People drive crazy, you can basically go as fast as you want, nice. Oh and seat belts are non existent in most cars, whoopie! I actually kind of like riding in a car here, it´s strange.

Dogs hang out on the rooftops, it´s kinda scary as your walking down a street and suddenly hear barking above you.

Fruit here is incredible, bananas are my favorite! Tortas are my new favorite Mexican food. They are mix between panini and sub sandwiches and usually have some kind of guacamole on them. YUM! I also love these cookies called "Sponch" they are a cookie with marshmallow, coconut, and strawberry jam stuff. 

Today I went to a HUGE mall, and went bowling. It was great. My sister would die if she saw this place! Afterwards we went and ate at Chili´s it was good to eat American food. Oh and we went to DQ. YAY! It was really nice to spend part of my day in civilization. 

Last week I had to do my laundry by hand, crazy huh?! Lucky for us this week one of the hermanas in the ward let us use her washer this week, but we still had to hang the clothes out to dry. 

I LOVE the people here, they are for the most part really nice, it´s just frustrating because I don´t fully understand them yet. 

Let me say this though I am super SUPER glad to be an American! America is a wonderful place. 

Yesterday an American hermana told me that on the front of a dollar bill there is one letter for every month of an elders mission and on the back there are 18 letters in  "federal reserve note" so for every month of your mission you color in a letter. Dollar are useless here and I happened to have one so yeah I started filling them in. I can´t believe I have almost been on my mission for two months! AAAAA! How did that happen!? 

I miss home a TON! But am finding things I like about here. 

I have become something of a sanitary freak in my house, I really don´t want to get sick! So I bleach all my dishes and the bathroom. And haha I use Fabuloso for the floor. Thanks boss for helping me get used to the stuff. 

Also this last week we ran out of gas for hot water in the shower, so we had to use a livestock water heater to heat up water in buckets and then use a bowl to dump water on ourselves. Life is a huge adventure. Also my dear blog friends you can still use dearelelder to write me! YAY!

Well Love y'all! Bye!
