Week 4

Hola Familia it has officially been one month out in the field and it is crazy!! This week a lot of fun stuff happened and a lot of sad stuff hahah! First off the district above us left and we had some really good friends in their!! The sister training leaders are in that district and They honestly are the sweetest girls they helped me not get stressed out and enjoy the MTC! They left and they are going to do amazing, I already was so sad when they left so i cant even imagine how sad i am going to be when i have to leave my companions and my district!! We are now the oldest district in our zone which is absolutely insane!! I feel like I just got here yesterday and now i only have 17 more months!! A funny thing the district that left did before they left is, they came into our room and said that we weren't following the rules and that we needed to step up!! And they told us that it was so serious that we needed to have interviews with the branch president!! And then they threw out candy and said that they were joking hahahha! I guess that is a tradition here so next week my district gets to do that!! I will let you know how it goes hahha!! We have been helping new hermanas a lot this week and it feels so good to almost be done hahah!! I am scared but excited to start the new adventure of being out in the field!! My spanish isn't quite ready yet for that but i am so ready!! This week i got two new investigators who are really hermana smith and elder hatfield!! And we also had TRC for our first time which is when we teach volunteers from the church. I'm not gonna lie it was really scary and hard to understand their million words a second espanol... But i know that i had the holy ghost and was blessed with the gift of tongues!! I could not have felt the spirit so strongly or been able to understand half of what she was saying without the lord. This week i have really progressed with loving the investigator and trying to know them and love them and figure out how the gospel can help them. Because the gospel can help EVERYONE!! Some fun things this week is first tomorrow is independence day so There has been no joke 30 fireworks each night in mexico. Me and my companions made the joke that its like the hunger games when they send up the bomb things. We said that that means that 20 missionaries went home hahahah!!!😂 It was also 9 11 this week and my whole district wore red white and blue to show respect!! It is cool that even though we are in mexico almost everyone in the ccm wore red white and blue!! Me and my companions have also become closer this week if you can believe it! We stayed up Later than we are supposed too *uh oh!!* Hahahah but we painted mails and studied and told stories and laughed! I LOVE my companions i am going to be so sad when i have to leave them!!!! We also were super blessed this week because we were praying for hamburgers which seems silly but with the food here sometimes you have to!!! AND we got hamburgers we were all so happy! Some other things that happened were hermana smith trying out to sing for a devotional she is amazing!! One day it was very special we were practicing and at the end we all went around the piano and sang together and it was just so fun and stress free!! It was nice to have a second to ourselves and just sing!! Lets see the Spanish i have been working on this week is tenses like past and future tenses! TENSES ARE SO HARD!!! Spanish has like 5 words for 1 word!!! But i can honestly say i am improving!!! WE played volleyball at gym time this week with some latinas and i could actually understand them and talk to them!! HAHAH even if they do laugh at my accent I am the biggest white girl!! BUt i did have my district going for a day that my grandparents came from mexico hahah! I showed them a picture of grandpa and they were like yeah i can kind of see it!! HAHAH oh the irony! Overall this week was very spiritual and i can feel gods love for me more than ever! And thankyou so much for your prayers I know that you are praying for me every night i can feel the love!! Yo se que la CCM es muy dificil pero la CCM es muy divertido!! Yo tengo mucho de bendiciones en mi vida! Yo se que mediante Jesucristo y Dios Seré a muy feliz y muy marviloso missionaria!! Yo amo ustedes mucho!! 

LOVE, siempre Hermana Tams😘
