General Conference and New Adventures

Dear Fam,
Hey everyone! Happy to hear from you. It’s always a treat to read my emails of the week and see what´s going on in the lives of you all. Mexico is quite the adventure I must say. But first, as a disclaimer, Sorry for not letting you all know that we changed our preparation day this week to tuesday... I had every intent of doing so but I forgot, so sorry about that.  I hope none of you worried about me because of it. I still love you all and won´t be ignoring you, I promise.

So, the adventures of the week. This week we found a new investigator named Ismael who really wants to change and progress, so much so that he went to general conference and afterwards wanted to know literally everything that has to do with the church and how he can change. Super cool is an understatement because things like this don´t usually happen to us. We also found a less active this week that nobody had any idea about and we found him because my companion had a hankering for bread. We invited him to come to conference and he came and loved it and said he wants us to visit him all of the time and will be back next week. Yay for miracles!!! I am so blessed as a missionary!!!

More fun of the week, guess who is starting to tan? you guessed it, Me. I have joined the farmers tan club and my membership is a platinum. You should see my lines. My little sunscreen gluesitck has become my best friend this week. It’s pretty awesome.

General Conference was amazing as usual and I got to see it in English which was a real treat and a privilege. You never know how much you enjoy hearing the prophet´s or the apostles voice until you can’t anymore. The talks were amazing but for me, Holland takes the cake. His expression of God´s love for us was exactly what I needed to hear in those moments. I am so grateful that we have apostles and a prophet who teach us the will of the Lord and help us become better disciples of Christ!

Finally, today we went to Coyoacan with a member named Elizabeth and it was a blast. We ran around a giant cathedral and also went to the Frida Kahlo museum. It was awesome. There were pieces by her and Diego Rivera who was her husband and the Museum was in their house. My favorite piece that we saw is called La Quebrada by Diegro Rivera and was a gift to Frida Kahlo 2 years before she died. And my favorite quote from her was "Who needs feet when I´ve got wings to fly!" I love art now and it was such a treat to go and learn more about Mexican artists and culture!

I love Mexico and I love being a missionary!
