You know your Mexican when

Hello hello hello familia!!!!!! :)

can you believe it? 2 more full weeks left and then imma be home in warm az weather? oh man its kind of crazy. And whats even weirder is that there is sooooo much that is gonna happen in these last 2 weeks that it really doesn't feel like its only gonna be two weeks.

This week is my last Zone Conference. this Wednesday. I will be giving my departing testimony--my last one in front of the mission. really strange. and I will also be doing a special musical number on the flute with some other missionaries. :/ Lots happening this week.

There are so many families I have to say bye to and finding time to pack all my stuff...man there really is a lot to do!

But its all good. :) Hna Alvey and I have been seeing SUPER miracles. its been a great way to have the last 6 weeks of my mission go.

This week, we took the Bishop and his wife with us to visit the C family and man it was AWESOME. Talked a lot about getting married and doing it now so that they could be baptized and basically moved the baptism date from the 24th to the 17th. wedding the 16th and baptism the 17th. But then they didnt go get their marriage license this week :( Soooooo baptism and wedding are both back on for my last weekend in the mission. but they are literally solid. Like its what they are going to do. I think the hardest part for them is actually getting to the office to get their marriage license. but its gonna happen. i know it i know it i know it!!

Had a lesson with Irma and she told us that she can't get baptized yet--her kids are super against her becoming a member. But she still wants to learn and said that she is going to be coming to church. Her kids just really want to see the change in her before she just jumps into something. Irma has been prepared and her family is everything to her. The last thing she wants to do right now is separate them even more and so now things have just gotten a bit slower. She needs the right missionaries at the right time. But she knows she's felt different in a good way with the things shes been learning from us that she has from anything else. so poco a poco.

Lessons taught this week: 28. got like 30 more to go and that's gonna happen our last week together. we are gonna be busssssssssy bees:) We taught 6 lessons yesterday and had 3 hours of church and studies. I love being busy doing the lords work :)

I do have a feeling though that I am going to be eating more these next 2 weeks than I have my entire mission. everyone is inviting us over to eat and stuff before I go home. :) and everything important has food involved :) Love My Hispanics :)

Lessons learned this week:

You know your Mexican when you think the limones on the table are for your meat and not your water. We were invited to have dinner at a family in the english wards house this past week and so we went. Well I cannot even begin to describe how uncomfortable I felt. not because they did anything bad or rude. I just did not feel like I was at home. Like I had walked into a cocktail party dressed in holy jeans and a t-shirt. I was too scared to touch anything for fear of breaking it and I really realized that I dont know how to small talk in english anymore. I'm just. awkward. yes. super awkward. So I'm looking around for anything to make me feel somewhat at home. Well what do they decide to feed us that day? Tacos. OK well. that's all I'm gonna say about that. 

anyways so like I'm subconsciously looking around for something, anything that is gonna make me feel comfortable. And I find it. Right there on the table is a bowl of Limones. I get so excited I can barely handle it. I grab like two and start sqeezing the juice on my meat, when I notice that the limones are cut so thin that the juice is really just making a mess all over my hands. but oh well. just gotta get limon on my tacos........I look up and realize that everyone else has put the limones in their water.

who was the mexican sitting at the table? yep. it was me.

Well that's all i got for this week! Sure Love you! HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK!

paz y amor!

Se Cuiden!
