Hola amigos,

So we are officially ending our third week here at the lovely CCM, and I can't decide if I feel like time is flying or like I've been here for 10 years. Either way, it's still a super good time and I feel like I'm starting to understand some more Spanish:) But yeah there's not a ton of new stuff going on, but every day it seems like there's something new to laugh at. This week we started a new game called find the Latino, so every morning whoever we choose to be the Latino in our district has to speak only Spanish, but to keep our teacher from being able to tell who it is we all have to speak only Spanish and it's a little bit rough but so funny. And also at lunch, we've been trying to only speak Spanish, and the most common phrase is "Inglés POR FAVOR" from our wonderful Elders haha. The other day a few other Hermanas and I played volleyball with the cutest Latina girls. They started singing Justin Bieber and I was like "Oh, ¿te gusta Justin Bieber?" And one of the girls was like "¡Sí, necesito arrepentirme!" (I need to repent hahah).

I love all the people here (missionaries, teachers, and especially the comedor staff) so much. Every day I'm learning new things about them and it's probably my favorite part of this. In our classes, we talk a lot about how important it is to really, truly love those around us. It's seriously the biggest part about this work that we're doing here. I just want people to know how much our Heavenly Father loves every single one of his children and how badly He wants for us to live with Him again. A scripture that really sticks out to me about this is Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 and it just says "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God," y me encanta eso porqué yo sé qué está verdadera!

I love y'all so much and I'm so thankful for all the prayers and support and emails!! The emails keep me entertained because it feels like I'm living the same day over and over again, just in different dresses;) (also pics-> first is just a cute picture of my name tag with my crusty nail polish haha, second is Hermana Day's pollo(?), and third is a gingie pic with my friends Elder Brown and Hermana Merrill)

Todo mi Amor,
