Being on a mission is really weird, your flipped inside out and upside down, its kind of like falling down a rabbit hole. Your past life doesn't feel like it happened like a strange dream or the memory of a different person the somehow got into your head. It almost makes you dizzy, like, "Whoa! That was me? No." And then the present zips past and is frozen all at the same time, you feel stuck in a moment and then all of a sudden you wake up a month later. Then the future doesn't seem like it will ever happen and then you realize its really close. AAAH! Talk about confusing! Its like magic.
This week I got to help teach an English class, that was cool! I love teaching anything! I also taught the first lesson to a girl in Spanglish, that was amazing! I felt so free like "YES I CAN DO THIS!" You could feel the Spirit so strong! YAY!
I also discovered while being here that American tortillas are terrible and a total disgrace! I really like tortillas here. I also love MANGOES! But they have to be the completely orange little ones. they are amazing I eat one everyday. YUM!
Want to try something very Mexican? Yogurt, jello cubes, and fruit, like bananas, mangoes, cantaloupe, watermelon, etc. YUM! Crepes are also a big thing here, Nutella, strawberries, and sweetened condensed milk yum! There is a soda here called jarritoes I think you can get in Walmart in the States the orange is the best!
This week was my companions birthday! YAY! I love birthdays! The district was sneaky and got her a cake, it was good and then we discovered it was mocha...nice! lol. Sad.
I miss nature here, it is totally a city, the first week I felt like suffocating, I miss open space with trees and grass. Sigh. C'est la vie.
The last three days I have been super sick. It made me really miss my mom. Ugh. I hate being sick and here its awful because i often have to work through it. YUCK!
Wasn't conference great! I learned so much!
Random, I saw a Volkswagen van painted like the Mystery machine.SWEET! Mexico is full of surprises!
Love y'all!
