Woah woah woah woah i had my two month mark already? What is happening? Time really is flying! Its great haha! Wow this week was amazing! So many things happened I hope i can remember it all! Okay so first off we got to meet as a zone for the MTC mexico dedication on Tuesday! Ya idk why its just now being dedicated we don't know! But i got to see Nueberger and Sturt!!!!!!!!! Ahh i wanted to cry when i saw them! I am SO grateful they are in my zone!! OH my gosh me and nueb just hugged for days! They are doing amazing! We are all seeing so many miracles! Second General Conference!!! oh my heavens how amazing was it! I was so grateful for the opportunity to listen to a meeting called by God! It was amazing to hear EVERY single one of my worries and questions be answered. The holy ghost is such an amazing teacher! I was so comforted! I hope you all felt the same way :) Even my tiniest wishes or desires of my heart were answered. It has been such a testimony builder to see how much the lord cares about each one of us and our small worries. So right after the afternoon session on Saturday we had 3 baptisms!!!!!!! ahhh it was the most beautiful experience! It was with a Mom (Diana, 32) her boy (Javier, 11), and daughter (Andrea, 8). The spirit filled the room! and it was so tender because I knew that they were on the pathway to be sealed as a family one day in the temple! ahh we are so blessed to be able to be with our families for all eternity! The little girl (Andrea) just kept hugging me and my companion! It was such a tender experience. They all just glowed that day! I am so grateful to be a tool in Gods hands. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve here in Cuernavaca Mexico! Ive been shocked at how fast I have come to love the people! The language is still really hard for me, but I am understanding more and more each day! My companion is such a blessing to me! She is amazing! She is so patient and loving with me! She never fails to make me want to be better! She actually opened up to me about her trainer.. i guess her trainer was so disobedient and was just so rude to her. She would tell her that she didn't understand Americans and just wanted a native companion. I felt so bad :( I am so grateful she has completely turned her mission around for the lord, herself and for me! She said she has noticed how big of a difference obedience has made these past couple weeks. She said she never has seen the tender mercies that we have had before! As the weeks go by and I am getting used to this big change, I have found that I am doing so much better! I am finding joy! The lord has blessed us with SO many tender mercies and miracles. I wish I had time to tell you all of them! Another thing I have learned this week is that we are literally representatives of Jesus Christ. And as representatives, we can promise blessings to these people if they keep and do their part. I love this opportunity to represent my savior and wear this nametag. I feel so safe when I wear it! Not gonna lie, Mexico is not a safe place, ppl stop us in the street and offer us rides cause they are like you girls shouldn't be out here its so peligroso (dangerous)! But were like haha we are protecting YOU right now you don't need to worry (: Haha me and my companion didn't know if it was Easter yesterday or not haha. So if you wanna let us know that would be awesome! We bought ice cream on saturday night to celebrate and then we got to the church on Sunday and no one knew haha! And I had to go through ANOTHER TIME CHANGE. How unfair right? ya lost another hour of precious sleep! It was great. ha. Also one thing we are having a hard time with is getting the investigators and less actives to church. We explain the importance of church and bear testimony and then leave them with commitments and they dont come..if you have any advice I would love to hear it! okay fun fact of the week: So we have this old neighbor next door and every morning at around 8 he just gets up and BLASTS his music.. ahh and he just belts and sings along with it! It is probably the funniest thing ive ever heard! He just sings his old heart out! And he will play songs over and over again hahaha! There is actually a Mexican song that I reallly like.. like a lot! One morning he played Macho Man.. yup mom it was for you! hahaha i was dying! You would LOVE it here! And hes plays YMCA and just so many funny songs! And let me just say EVERYONE here is tone deaf.. its so bad!! we sing hymns in church and im like oh my gosh! but the spirit is still there don't you worry! hahaha ker you would fit in for that reason too (; hahhaha. So its getting so hot.. like not fun hot. pray that we can make it through the next two months. I guess it will start to rain in July! and when it rains i guess it rains! ah im excited its gonna be fun and people will let us into their homes cause well be wet haha (: I hope you are all doing amazing! I am always sending my infinite love your way! Your all in my prayers! I hope you can feel my arms wrapped around you all (: I love you all so so much! Have a fantastic week! Con mucho amor, COOKIE (:
