Prepare for take OFF!!!!

So I'm just going to forgive all of you for not emailing me today because I forgot to tell you that my P-day this week was moved to Wednesday. Why you ask??? BECAUSE I LEAVE THE CCM NEXT WEEK. Yes this little bird is getting kicked out of the nest and into the real world, where the food is good and the people talk really fast. On the plus side.... AMERICA. Never thought I would miss a place so much and as cool as it would be to stay in Mexico, America is kind of the best.

I will miss this place a lot though too. My teachers are the literal best. Hermana Martinez, Gutirrez, Gomez, Rodriguez and Hermano Orullosa have helped me grow in so many different ways and I am eternally grateful. High key jealous Hermana Coulam will get to see them all the time since her mission is in their stake!

I will not miss the food that much though although #blessed to have had curly fries twice in the past week and a half. God answers prayers guys.

Also i have met my sworn enemy...Hermana Jarvis. By enemy I mean I love her and our ping pong games are lit. They mostly involve us yelling really bad insults at each other as we miss the ping pong. Shes from Alaska and may be the one person in the world paler than me. I will miss all the Hermanas in Casa 10! So excited to see the awesome work they all do throughout the world!

Highlights of this week include teaching two elders in which they understood 0 things that we said and just google translated everything. We asked them who they wanted to say the prayer to which one responded "no you say it!". I have never seen Hermana Martinez laugh so hard.  Also Elder Cornish of the 70 came and gave a devotional and it was so so good. My favorite thing he said was about "Choosing to do the happy list"..the happy list being the commandments!

Also I just want to share my testimony on the Book of Mormon. These past few weeks I have grown to love it so so much. It truly is the word of God and has provided me with so much comfort and love. As we look to it, God will answer our questions and help us come unto Him.  I challenge all of you to read 2 Nephi 4 too! It may be my new favorite although its really hard to choose.

I dont know if Ill be able to email you guys next week because Ill be in GILBERT but I love you so much! Think of me on Tuesday when I HAVE TO LEAVE AT 1 AM to make my flight.

So Hasta Luego my friends! Next time I email you it will be from the states!

To the moon and back!
