Moctezuma - #whitest#summer#ever

Coma está? Como les fue con todo en Arizona? 

So....... here is how everything has been with the Temple.... we leave our casita como a las 7:45 en la mañana and go to the temple... we are there till 3ish and then we take the micro home, go eat with members and start working at like 5 until 8 - 8:30 ish... we can stay out till 8:30 only if we have a cita (appt) so usually we try to have appts because we don't like to go home so early! That is how it has been for the last week or so...its crazy but so so so fun...but man not gonna lie we are tired... because usually we are studying till 12:00 because we have one hour more of studies with training and then an hour of language study....so yeah its a bit different to be working from like 9 till when we get home...BUT I LOVE IT...I LOVE BEING BUSY! 

  The temple really has been amazing, I have had a ton of cool experiences with everything,,,, I will share one of my favs because I don't have time to write all of them....

  

  So the other day when we were in the carpa.... reception tent.... I went up to this couple to talk to them and get their reference. I started talking to the husband and he said they are taking the lessons and love it and need to get married first so they can get baptized, then I talked to the wife and she was in a wheel chair and had sunglasses on... well anyways she is blind so I started asking her about everything and how it went in the temple. She started telling me how she had no desire to go because she can't see anything and they live 3 hours away so she didn't really want to go LIKE AT ALL! But then she just started crying and crying and she was telling me how she has never felt so peaceful in her life and she didn't need to see the temple to know that it is a temple of God. And family you know how bad I am at comforting people haha so I was just holding her hand and telling her everything was okay  and that one day her and her husband will be able to get sealed in the temple and she was just crying and so touched from the spirit of the temple.... AHHH how cool is that... the spirit really is so so so strong there and that experience just added more to my understanding of how the temple feels...because la verdad it is a beautiful building, just beautiful but the spirit is even more powerful than all the decoration... so yeah that was really cool.

  We also went Thursday night to the temple with the ward and Maricela our investigador and her mom who came from cuidad nesa to see the temple.... and they both LOVED IT! Her mom who knows nothing about the church told her after that in all of her 72 years of her life she has never felt so peaceful and happy....NEVER!  Ahh its just so cool and it is really cool to meet so many diffrent people there in the temple.. I also saw another one of my CCM teachers there but we didn't have time to take a pic #triste Also we met the coolest English family hahah they were so funny and their son is serving in the mesa mish.  The mom said he is close to the temple, but they were so funny and it was fun to be talking English to people...Dad random question but where in England did you serve...because I was telling them you served there somewhere in the north but I couldn't remember where...ahhh (fail as a daughter jaja) but they both served in Birmingham so something like that.... Also story of the week...well funny story of the week.....

Drunk guy in front of house!

     Friday we were walking home to the house and I was talking to someone on the phone and then hna. Gantz just stops and was like HERMANA WHO IS AT OUR HOUSE... (background to the story; family Galicia was out of town in Utah for their sons wedding and there was noone at the house) and then I look and there is a drunk man sleeping DIRECTLY in front of our door... sleeping jk passed out cold with the liquor bottle somewhere close. hahah I was like what the crap how are we gonna get into our house... so I called the zone leaders and they where like well hermanas what do you want us to do.... so yeah they were great help... so just decided to step over him and enter but first of course we got a pic of this drunk guy posted up in front our casa! Ahh man we were dying! 

More about hna. gantz she is in love with all things Disney so I have been trying to relate more to that because I like Disney but I am more of a 6 flags, chick flick, type of person...haha but thats okay we are finding small similar interests...she loves to work and isn't afraid to speak Spanish so that is a #blessing! 

  But life is just just just great... today was our first normal monday p-day ever well with hna. Gantz... we went and played v-ball with the zone and you know the usual Walmart run but life is just gucci! I love you all and yay chris for doing good in the game when you got the ball... 

Oh and my title is because this is the whitest I have ever been in the summer time ahhh I don't like being white I want to be brown....lol but really! Also mom to answer your question, Logan's mission can have 40 hermanas because it is safe... we can only have a max of 20 because president doesn't have enough safe areas for hermanas and dang that's too bad he didn't find me, I have been there everyday till 3 pm but that's okay! Life is good, I will talk to you guys next week... much love!!!!!!

 con mucho amor,

Hermana Heywood
