Hermana Larsen en Mexico!

Hola Familia! It was so good to see you guys yesterday too! Family is one Christmas tradition I'm glad we didn't miss! My hand is doing good today, it looks worse than it really is all bandaged up ( Kaysie was bit by a dog Christmas morning ). We ran out of water this morning in the middle of laundry, so that was a fun scramble to try and fix it! There's a water shortage down here, probably in all of Mexico. The worst is when it runs out and someone's in the shower! Let it be written that even though perros are the devil, gatos are angels! There's this little old lady that we're hoping to start teaching that has all these little gatitos and they're soooo cute! If the missionary handbook wasn't so specific I totally would [pet them]!! Bunnies are good too. I taught the kids in this member family the word bunny in English and they think it's hilarious! And banana too. These are the kids that asked me if all of my siblings are white like me, haha! F...

Hola familia! Surprisingly I haven't been sunburned yet. I don't want to jinx anything though! I think I'm getting tanner, I've got a sweet watch tan line! But it's not enough. We took some pictures with people from our zone and district in front of a white wall. Like as white as me. I literally am the wall. The running joke is "Where's Hermana Larsen?" because I disappear in pictures </3 Hermana Larsen in Tuxtla As far as my studies go, it's awesome to have all morning! I love studying! Personal study is really up to me. I try to use it so I'm studying a little from the BoM ( Book of Mormon ), Bible and whatever else I'd like to study. It's a good time to personally prepare for what I want to teach. As a companionship first we share what we learned in personal study and then read the missionary manual and carpeta de nuestro misión. Then we plan what we are going to teach and either practice or study from Preach My Gos...

Hola Hola! Sounds like you guys had a fun week! Hahaha don't you just love Lucy, Ez? Dang, JJ! Sounds like your group is set for the afterlife! Do you think you could make one of those jars for my insides? I want at least 200 years in the afterlife. Mo mo mo, I'm telling you, if you don't want feet like mine you've got to get that drivers ed done! Jarbear, sounds like asking someone out was quite the experience! Hahaha I can't wait to hear about the actual date! Cam, I think the phone thing is karma for telling lies. Harvey will always love me more! And he loved me first! To answer your questions, well we don't just have one ward, we are the lucky winners of Aguilas and Reforma wards! We have two walking areas, it's huge! Hence the swollen feet... But the wards are super nice and super helpful! The culture all around is so different here! People are always willing to listen, we've never had someone we were trying to contact in the street just shrug u...

Hola familia! Hahaha there really must be a six week curse!! I'm so glad Kate survived! I've been worried about him! Sounds like it's been a pretty crazy week! For me too. Yikes, painting the walls and replacing the carpet?? Cam, I NEED to see your purple hair! Jarrad, I appreciate the reduction in my monthly fee. 6000 pesos is a little more reasonable with the air I'm wasting down here! And I want to hear every single detail of your dating life! Moana, good. Let me know how the theater goes! JJ, that's awesome! You have to send me pictures! Ez, "woman" in Spanish is mujer :) As for my week, wow. I've been experiencing some major culture shock! I guess you're probably wondering where I am :) I'm in Tuxtla Aguilas! With my beautiful companion Hermana Marrero! About my comp, she's amazing! She's from Torreon, Mexico and her first name is Abish. She's the first missionary in her family and has two younger brothers. She's been i...
