Hermana Larsen en Mexico!

Hola Familia! Well, I've got some news. Tomorrow I will no longer be here in Terrazas :,(. I'm getting transferred to San Cristobal de las Casas!!!! I'll be a sister training leader with Hermana Ventura, who goes home the same transfer as I do! San Cris is like the coveted area of the mission, it's literally the only place in Chiapas that isn't hot and I've wanted to go there my whole mission. It's super beautiful and one of the greatest tourist hot spots in Chiapas, and it's where they make all of the cool Chiapanecan things! But haha there's always a catch, right? It's like super perfect weather all year, and then in December it's freezing. And I'm terrified, because randomly two days ago it got super cold here in Tuxtla. I don't know what the temperature is, but I've never been so cold in all of my mission and I'm suddenly remembering that I don't like the cold! And everyone is scaring me because they're all giv...

Hola familia!! It's been a great week here in Terrazas! I'm back to just one comp :`( Hermana Tlachi has been taken from us for her last week, so we won't get to kill her off after all. It's just me and Hermana Varela. But it's cool! Hermana Varela actually speaks English, her degree is in foreign languages and she wants to be an interpreter, so it's fun to speak Spanglish or English when we need to say something that no one else should know! "Hey hermana, will you eat my tomatoes?" We started off the week going on exchanges with the sisters from La Salle, me and Hermana Varela were with Hermana Marìn! There's a member family called the Pa_ family that I've been helping their son with his English homework and during exchanges they gave us like 10 bottle cans of fruity baby food hahaha so all week we've been enjoying well balanced meals by Gerber. That was one of the many miracles! Another was Ab_. Ab_ is one of the students in my ...

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 ...

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...
