En esta casa, no existen fantasmas

 "Son puros recuerdos, de tiempos ajenos, de buenos momentos" 

Its officially my last week in Mexico.... But like humbe says, "They are pure memories, from times long gone, of good times". I will be back up in the heat, the dry, and the busy of the city in 1 week. But hopefully i will actually be able to listen to music other than hymns 😂 i love hymns! Dont get me wrong. Theyre just a little repetitive when that is the only thing you can listen to. 


And for those who havent caught on yet, my email titles are song lyrics from one of the songs on my song list... thought id make that clear since i kinda use lyrics that might not make the most sense 😂 ill also keep this email short...


It is so crazy to think i have been in mexico for just shy of a month and have to leave so soon 😭 no me quiero salir! But i am excited to get back up into the states where i can explore the area a lot better. Sadly the only time i get to see mexico city is when we go to the temple or when i am brushing my teeth and watching the cars drive up one visble street from our apartment. 


I have been watching the weather of Riverside while being here, and boy am i NOT ready for 100 degree temps 😭 after being content with an average 66 degrees, that will quite literally be tourture. 


My Spanglish has just grown while being down here and i am really good about thinking about words in spanish and then it taking me like 5 trys to actually say it in english so... its great


Before I left, my mom joked with me that while being on my mission, she wanted me to find a composer that i could marry so i could listen to them play the piano all day... well ill joke and say i found my composer! I was studying yesterday morning in front of the tienda to be close to the infermaria to ask for a different knee sleeve or brace but when i went inside the building opposite the tienda, i saw some guy sitting at the piano playing interstellar. I was in awe so i went back outside to get my comp so we could do personal study while listening to him play the piano. Bro is crazy! I listened to him play like 3 or 4 other hans zimmer songs but only recorded parts of 2 😭 i wish i was smart enough to bring sheet music. But yeah... i guess we could say i "found my composer" and hes from Tennessee AND taller than me. Bro is bomb at basketball AND volleyball...  What more could i ask for?

Lemon boy and me...

Image
  "Started to get along, together.."  Just kidding... my "lemon boy" and I still have not found a way to "get along" (work together). I want something and they want something else. Every time I ask them to do one thing for me, their response is, "cant we just do that later?" And then they continue walking away. And then, when they ask me if we can do something and I respond with, "cant we do that later?" They throw a fit. Its great. I love it... Also, Lo siento in advance (just skip to the end) On Thursday morning, I was able to get a priesthood blessing from my awesome cousin, Elder Welch! It is so unique getting priesthood blessing, but even more unique receiving one from your family. I personally hate asking for help (so having the courage to ask for a blessing is not on my radar) but luckily, I have the most wonderful mom who reached out to Elder Guymon (who is my 6th cousin) and Elder Welch (who is my first cousin) and asked both o...

How come all the best things fall apart

 "And it started pretty slowly..." The song has nothing to do with the email this week... I just wanted to use a Benson Boone song... sooo.... yeah Happy Monday! I hope your week has been great! Send me an email! I'd love to hear about it!  This past week for me was great? I don't know... I'm really bad about feeling feelings. I will apologize in advance as my thoughts are all over the place. So be grateful that I can compose half comprehensible sentences.  Last Monday, I got it approved from the Pres to go buy an acoustic guitar today so hopefully we can find the time to do that! I have been playing my comps guitar but, come time for transfers, I may not be with her and won't, for sure, have a guitar to play to fill my time.  Tacos, tacos, and MORE tacos! Am I complaining? Absolutely not! We have had street tacos almost every single night and I love them! One of the families we ate with had something close to like a taco bar... they had like 4 different meats...

Even when the dark comes crashing through...

  "When you need a friend to carry you, when youre broken on the ground, you will be found"  You will be found from dear evan hansen has been stuck in my head for the past couple days and I'm not sure why... am I complaining? No. Not at all. We all at times need a friend to carry us through the dark times and when we find ourselves broken on the ground. I guess that is the cool thing about missionary work.  God has prepared so many people for me to find and to teach about His Gospel! I get to be the friend to carry them through the dark times and when they are "broken on the ground". I hate being social but I LOVE helping others. One full transfer in and I have already found so many amigos who just need a friend to carry them through their hard times! And to help them find joy in the Gospel and growing their relationship with God!  Hola Tonotos (see attatched picture at the end)... Our barrio had a fiesta on Saturday! It was a culture celebration! Everyone broug...
