Woah another week is gone and
here I am on my last pday and tuesday in Mexico in the CCM! Crazy huh?? I
have 5 days left becasue Im leaving on Monday in the madrugada which
means really early in the morning. Prolly around 2 or 3! My days are now
numbered and I could not be anymore excited! I am nervous about the
language but I cannot wait to get outta here and have some change in my
life! This week went by a titch slower than the week before, but this
week is already flying!! I feel like I was just getting here and
struggling to understand anything anybody was saying to me.

Spanish:
I can understand A LOT more than I can speak which is kinda frustrating
becasue when I want to share a principal or tell a story I cant ever get
my point across very well because I only can speak in smaller more
simple words, but thats okay! Its a miracle that I can even have a full
conversation in Spanish after only 5 weeks! So starting tonight at 6 my
whole district is only speaking Spanish for the rest of the week!! I am
so nervous and its gonna be hard at times but I gotta learn sometime
right?? I mean its not like Ill be in South America in 5 days or
anything....AHHH!! Its getting more and more real every second! I AM SO
EXCITED!! I only have 3 days of class left which is nuts! I am going to
miss my maestros A TON! They have helped me so much and I would be so
unprepared without them. And without Heavenly Father as well!

Food:
Still good but this last week Cena was this hard taco thing that had
meat and beans on top and so I decided to put some salsa on it..well I

gonna get! Whether itll be hot, mild, sweet, spicy, who knows!! But this
time I got SUPER HOT!! Oh man I was dying and I no longer had anything
in my nose! Bad news...haha but still ¡esta bien! Im gonna have to get
used to it sometime right? haha
Mexico!!:
So this week was Mexican Independence week and so the whole week we
would have different kinds of candy or special meals and the campus was
all decorated in green, red, white, and gold! Its so cool to see the
patriotism that these people have! WAY more than we do! So then Saturday
night we had Mexican Night!! It was probably one of the coolest nights
ever and defintely a once in a life time kinda thing! All the
missionaries and maestros gathered in the gym where they had lights and a
stage and chairs set up and it was decked out with decor as well! So
then once everyone got settled, all these dancers came out in awesome
constumes and bright colors and did all of these different traditional
dances! It was so awesome! There were even fireworks too!! Then on
Sunday night we all got together again at 10:30 (with permission from
President Pratt of course) and did the Gritto where just basically we
are honoring the people who helped Mexcico gain their freedom! So after
the President of Mexico would say someones name we would say ¡Viva! It
was a lot of fun! Then we all had to rush home to get in bed before it
got too late! I will never forget that experience!
Okay so the joke!!! Its all in Sapnish too! I hope you guys get it and think its as funny as I did
Tocar Tocar ( knock knock)
