Hola dear blog readers!
First of all if you get the above references you are a winner!
Let me start off by talking about the Metro; the Metro is the most insane thing ever! It´s the Mexican Subway. In the mornings and evenings people pile in like sardines, so many people that you are squashed up against eachother and your arms are glued to your chest. Its hot and aweful. This week my companion and I had to go to the mission home and to get there you have to take the metro. The first train came and my companion started to get on and there was no room for me and then the doors started to close so I had to physically pull her out. Later we missed our stop because we were packed in so tightly we could not get off. AAAAAH!
My mom likes Zumba, and it just so happens that Zumba well dance of any kind is really big here. My family has this Zumba video game back home, and when it starts up it goes "bailar, bailar" Well I found out that the word for dance here is bailar. HAHA so it says "dance, dance" in English.
Also on the subject of dance my stake here held a Relif Society activity where the sisters in each ward performed a traditional dance in native costumes. It was really fun to watch and my ward danced the best.
This week I also watched people eat chicken feet! EWWWW! I dont think I could eat that! I think I would throw up. One hermana even ate parts of the bone yuk!
The other day I was walking down the street and I relized a few things; I was feeling kinda down about my language skills and then I relized even though I may not speak well I speak Spanish! CRAZY! People around me dont speak/understand English so I am forced to speak in Spanish. YAY! The other thing is that I love Mexico! Its hard here and waaaay different from the States but I love it.
Another good thing is that I am not as sick anymore. YAY!
A couple weeks ago I learned the word for guinea pig in Spanish because guinea pigs are a popular pet here. The word is cuyo. Well the other day I was reading the first vision when I came across this "Cuyo fulgor no admiten..." AAAH guinea pigs in the first vision! I told my companion and she busted up. I know it actually in this instance means "whose" but it was still funny. Any way love yall! Until next week!
