Hola Familia! Wow, Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! I can't believe it already happened! It doesn't feel like November and even less Thanksgiving because it's not cold haha, but we celebrated our Turkey day a little bit in our last district meeting with brownies :) which is a super special treat for us gringos because down here no one has ovens and therefore no one uses ovens and therefore no one makes brownies, except my district leader in the church oven :) Ez, my two companions names are Hermana Tlachi and Hermana Varela :).  That's awesome - no school!! JJ, yikes! don't get any ideas from the guy who took a kayak over the falls!!! Mo, yeah, I was looking at the pictures and I was thinking, wow, why is everyone married or engaged? Thanksgiving was not like that two years ago when I was there! Maybe I was the bad luck charm and the reason that no one could get married. Jarrad, Rudy's gotta go. Cam, don't make wedding plans until I get home! Mom and Dad, sounds ...

I am so grateful for you guys!

Hola Familia!! Haha you guys almost got me there!! I can't do much for the 3 marriage plans right now, but if you guys get working up there for me I think we can arrange something ;) JJ, haha sounds like a fun campout! Hahaha I think Ezra's questions are my favorite! Ez, I have almost seen more cats and dogs than people. Yay, Cami! *insert many tears* I want to go dress shopping!!!!!!!! Mom and Dad, sounds like some fun thanksgiving plans! haha I will praying that all goes well in the kitchen!! Jar, I'll get working on those rent payments, the problem is i don't have a job right now.. :`( The busy hermana is still super busy! This week has been super crazy! But super awesome! First off, Elder Pieper of the Seventy came to our mission all this week! That's where both the crazy and awesome parts come from haha. Wednesday we had a multizone conference with him that was super awesome! And then on Friday and Saturday we went to Tapachula. That's right, Tapachul...

Hola Familia!!! It's been another great week here in Terrazas! And also insanely busy. For starters, we're moms again!!! This week an almost brand new missionary was dropped off on our porch (almost literally), Hermana Bravo!!!!! Who we're training right now in trio, and she's from Peru, too cool!! It's actually really funny because there are a lot of words that are different in Peru and in Mexico, so I don't feel so alone in my Spanish fails ;) and on top of that, this week they took the sister training leaders out of the Tuxtla Mexico Zone and made us the sister training leaders of both the Tuxtla Mexico and Tuxtla Mactumatza zones. Which means double the meetings in everything! And did I mention that we're training on top of that? So basically this transfer is going to be insane. But it's going to be awesome! :) We saw lots of miracles this week! One of the first ones being with an eternal investigator name Ad_. Ad_'s husband is a [church] mem...

I almost feel like I'm in my training again!

Hola Familia!! Haha wow!!! Snow!!! I honestly can't even imagine what that feels like! I say as I'm sweating in a super hot cyber... haha wow! To answer your question, they know what snow is [here in Chiapas], but only from movies. No one has seen snow in person ever. Haha maybe that's an exaggeration, some people travel... And good news, I feel good! No, no one that has been giving me shots has been professionally trained in any way :) #mexico. Wow, JJ your week sounds awesome! Your Sundays sound like mine! Ez, why on earth do you get to miss 20 minutes of math????? Mo, #proartist, and don't die please! Cam, tell Patch I said feliz cumpleaños and give him socks for me too! Haha keep kickin butt, Jarrad! Dad, have fun in Salt Lake! Mom, no pressure but I'm going to be the judge of how well you teach the song in Spanish. ;) Haha and yes, we went to a YSA (Young Single Adult) conference to promote our English class that we're going to start this week with a f...
