Moctezuma - Holla to my man "Nacho"

Dear Fam, 

    Guess what Nacho got baptized por fin! He quit smoking for the whole week and was able to get dunked yesterday.... ah man we were so dang happy for that man! Also his niece got baptized because she just turned eight and has been going to church...but we didn't work with her because her family is menos activias so she was interviewed by Bishop and her cousin Set taught her the lessons. So yes, Nacho Libre got baptized and it was just a good day and he was so so so happy. We can really tell the difference in his and Almas lives now that they keep the commandments because they are just so much happier. So yay, next year on the 26th of July of 2016, I will send you a pic of me, Nacho y Alma at the temple when they get sealed!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Hnas Heywood & Rhoten, Alma & Nacho
 
Us with Andrea (Nacho's niece)

 The rest of the week was good too. We went to the CV with R, Hna. Guadalupe or as we call her granmda guada and our mission leader Ricardo. The pic I sent you from the cv with R (not mission leader) who sometimes is scary looking and ALWAYS wear his hat and shades but every once in a while he takes of his shades to put on his glasses to read but yeah that's R. His baptism was suppose to be yesterday but he was like, "Hna´s no I am not getting baptized, I think people in the church sell drugs and are in the mafia."  His prayers are so so so good though and he does his homework and always reads in the book of Mormon so yeah we will see what is up with this man....oh also he doesn't want anyone at his baptism because he is afraid his neighbors will show up because he thinks they want to kill him....so its a bit difficult! hahah we will see. 
Centro para Visitantes del Templo de la Ciudad de México 

Honey
  Also this week we stared teaching a lady named Maricela and she is so so so so good. She just moved here to take care of her uncle because her Grandma came to her in a dream to do so....and guess what her Grandma was Mormon! She was talking to us how she doesn't know why she is here because she liked her town better than the city....anyways it was perfect and we were talking to her about how everything has a purpose in life and yeah she is awesome. She also gave us a ton of honey that she brought from her town because a guy makes it there and it is really good....so she gave us some...but it is in massive liquor bottles hahah so we were walking down the street with massive liquor bottles full of honey!


  Also Angela went to EFY and loved it!!! But she still doesn't want to get baptized because it is hard for her because nobody in her family supports it and they all don't really like the church....minus Valentin her uncle that is a member! So we are gonna keep on working with her family...and one of her aunts actually just started listening to the lessons with her family so hopefully that will be good for her! 

Making cookies with Alisson and Frida
   Today we went to the market that has like authentic Mexican stuff to buy such as Mexican dresses and I got a yellow one! Mom the market is something you would love.... so when we come back we can go there and you can buy all the nativities and Mexican tile you want! It was pretty cool but sorry I didn't really take pictures of it, nor my dress but hna. Rrhoten and I will take some and I will send them next week! Also today we made cookies with Alisson and her cousin Frida...chocolate chip....but we had some complications with the oven and the altitude so they weren't the prettiest and were burnt on the bottom but they were still good! I think both of those girls will serve missions they were asking a ton of questions about it and they would be awesome! But yeah life her in Mexico is good and the work is progressing and we still don't know a ton about the open house but ya know its in two weeks so I will find out some time between now and then. Also we are trying to convince president to let Hna. Rhoten stay in a trio with me and my hija for two weeks because she is only extending two weeks and we have three beds.... so we will see! I am sure I will have a ton to write about next week. P-day is not till Wednesday so yeah I wont be writing till then. But I love you all so much and I hope you are all safe and having a fun summer. 


  FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS A MI SOBRINO SETH! LO QUIERO MUCHÍSIMO! Also I can't believe Katie is having a baby soon, haha we are both pregnant! but I am due next Monday.... and yeah i don't know how to spell prego... but mom if you haven't sent that package yet perfecto because you should print out more pictures of our family and put them in it. Like a picture from my baptism, a pic from dance, cheer pic with Kuresa, pictures of the lake or our family hiking, more pictures of the family from when I was little till  now. a picture of the Gilbert temple, picture from the Gilbert temple celebration, skydiving pic, us maybe at conference or something, the day I took out my endowments, pictures from when I got set apart as a missionary and yeah just more more more pictures to put in my family history pamphlet because its really expensive and complicated to do it here! But if you could do that I would love you even more...if that is possible I already love you a lot but yes love you madre and family...Aaron thank you for the advice and Seth I loved your letter.....also LUKE can you pretty please send me the poem you read at your homecoming talk? Well I better go but I love you all!


con amor, Hermanita Heywood

Moctezuma - Rockin' Mexi

Hola Fam y amigos....

   This week was good and interesting...poor ,madre Rhoten was sick and was bed ridden kind-of, for a good part of the week so we couldn't do a whole lot...she got parasites or something didn't get along with her stomach and one thing lead to another and all the meds the dr´s made her take didn't help her feel well and it was just hard for her to work because she didn't feel good and was throwing up a lot...but now i think she is on the mend so yay! I went on division with Bishops daughter twice while Hna. Rhoten stayed either with bishops wife or hna. julia (the members we live with). It was good for me to go out with Karina (bishop's daughter) because I had to lead all the lessons and things like that and it gave me more of a feel of what is gonna go down when I become a mama' in two weeks (ahhh). Tell the boys that I am sorry I spelled pregnant wrong last week, these computers only spell check Spanish so therefore I have no idea how many things I am spelling wrong... what matters most is my Spanish is correct for presidents letters jaja. 

Hna Heywood & Rhoten, Angela & Vaentin at the CV
   Everything is good in Moctezuma... Raul is getting baptized this Sunday and Nacho too (hopefully) he just need to quit smoking and toady is supposed to be his first day sin cigaro so hopefully he stopped. He is on vacation at the playa till tomorrow and hasn't answered our calls today so we don't know yet whether or not we can eat chocolate tonight to celebrate! Angela left for EFY today so we will see how that goes... I have faith she is gonna love it and want the desire to be baptized and that she will talk to her mom and really express why she wants it! We are hoping she will get baptized before hna. Rhoten leaves! We went to the CV with her yesterday and her tío Valentin...(the famous one who has a I am a Mormon video...if you haven't watched it you should) and it went really well. She really really liked it, and I think she is more a visual learner so she liked watching all the videos and Valentin even has a special video they show on repentance there in the CV so we watched that with her... she didn't know the church had made a video of him and was like what the heck why is my tío in this video jaja! We told her he is famous and then a couple minutes later a sister from the CV came up to us and was like excuse me but are you the guys from the video... we were laughing so hard because he is famous in the church world! 

La Familia Galacia
   Also I want to share more with you guys about the family we live with...well we live under their house... Familia Galicia! They are the best and are like my mom and dad here in the mish. Because hna. Rhoten was sick they kept on bringing us food and medicine and things like that and kept us company! They are the best type of people in the world and will drop what they are doing to help us. Not to mention hna. julia galicia makes the best food! Anyways i just feel really blessed to live with them and to have their help and I am glad I will be in Moctezuma with my hija and familia Galicia so they can help me out in my Spanish jaja! The other day we had comida with them and we were talking about how we wanted her recipes and she was like Hna.´s don't you know my rule.... I only give recipes to the missionaries who come back with their wife or husband! That is their incentive to get missionaries to come back and visit haha. Hna. Rhoten only has two weeks once she gets home to find a husband or finance before she comes back to Mexico with her family in order to get the recipes! jaja

Today we went to bosques to vist one of hna Rhotens old converts, we met up there with her old companion (hna. fowler) and her hija hna

Woodard and some other elders were there too...then the missionaries who are in their ward showed up so it was one big happy missionary meal. It was fun to get to know some of the other hna´s.... at the end it was just us 6 sisters and all have hijas and all of us hijas are going to be training this next cycle so it was fun to get to know them and see that we are the future of the mission because basically all the hna´s are leaving after this transfer!

Yes life is good hopefully I have some good baptismal pictures for you guys next week! Everyone looks good at home and I am glad you guys are all safe...familia Galicia thought it was funny that you guys are on vacation in Hawaii and told me to tell you guys to send them something hahah!   Anyways I loved all your pics and everyone looks good and happy and sunburned (Luke mostly). I also enjoyed the Daveism...solid u turn for those t-shirts pops! 
Mas en El CV


Life is good, there is a lot of work to do here in Mexico and I am grateful that I am here working! Oh also I am glad Res could come by and see  you guys! 

Well peace and blessins to all! Stay classy and I will hear from you guys next week....ALSO mother could you please tell the boys to email me their suggestions and how the heck to train.... I would really really love their advice! Anyways peace.

Us being "linda"


Con amor,

Moctezuma - GUESS WHAT?

Sup Fam? I have some big news for you all,.. I AM PREGNANT!  Yes that is right I am going to be a "mission mamá" and I am getting an hija in 3 weeks. We had interviews with President this week and in my interview he was telling me how there are three new hermanas coming and that he needed me to train...yes I was freaking out because my Spanish isn't the greatest but I told him if that is the Lord's will of course I will do it and yeah I am getting my hija in 3 weeks and Hna. Rhoten will be a grandma. But that is probs the biggest news this week. I also asked Presidente about the Temple open house and he said we are having a meeting more about it the 10th of Agosto....but he said that we will be in the temple a lot and will not have a ton of time in Moctezuma for citas and things like that...but I don't know exactly what is going down. 

Parker, Luke, Jared, Aaron....if you guys have any suggestions about training and being a mission parent and things like that I would love love love your advice! 

This week was good, poor hna. Rhoten has been sick all week but she is a good missionary and didn't stop working even though she didn't feel good. We also had a another zona challenge this week. It was who ever invited the most people to baptism this week the zone leaders would make us breakfast, the compettion was a little bit more tough this time but guess who came out on top....las mujeres de Moctezunma #hollaback #swaginthesisterhood yeah shout out to hna rhoten because she felt like crap the whole week and we still were able to take the W! 

Zona!
As for our investigators this week all are doing good and progressing...but we had to drop Jorge y Ana because they just are not progressing and their hearts are not open to the gospel...I will go back in October though to baptize their son because he is a future 70 and one day he will tell his conversion story in general conference and I will be happy to know we were able to help Alejandro receive the gospel in his life.  I am going to be staying here in Moctezuma and training my daughter so she can help out with that family. 

Nacho is doing good...still smoking but doing better and he says he will drop it by this Saturday That is his goal and we are holding him to it so he can get baptized the following week! Also we have been teaching Raul a lot and he is good...he is this like 60ish year old man and was a reference from the CV (visitor center) and he is really good and should get baptized the end of this month. Also Angela is doing good, she is signed up for EFY this next week and we think maybe her mom will give her permission when she gets home from EFY so we are praying for that and I have faith it will happen!

La familia Luna:  Recent converts; and we brought them  this award for reading the Book of Mormon (for los ninos) in a month.  We bought them a cake and iced it and made it look pretty! 


Also that is cool you guys are in Hawaii, random, but cool! If you go to the PCC go find Birdie she is a dancer there! And are you guys going to lake powell this summer too?  Have fun in Hawaii and oh mom make sure you go to Ashlee Js farewell she leaves pretty soon, and she already went through the temple! Love you guys lots!

The members that live above us...they are opening a nutrition shop soon called Herbal Life (they say they are in the usa too idk) but they wanted us to come try the protein shake.  

Con amor, Hermana Heywood your fav mexi

Moctezuma

Dear Familia y amigos,

   Sorry about last week this is what happened... after our zone activity we went with some of the Elders to Sams club because one of them had a card. Anyways it only took us like 10 minutes to get there and our taxi driver was super cool he bought us suckers on the way there... but then because its rainy season and pours like every night it took us an hour and a half...HOUR AND A HALF to get home. It was terrible we were all squished in the taxi and stuck in traffic for an hour and a half and we got back late and had a baptismal interview of one of our investigators and we were late and it was a mess. So after his interview we wrote you real quick just to let you know we are alive we just couldn't write because we ran our of time thanks to the rain. But this week was SO GOOD! 

   First of all Nacho and Alma got ....MARRIED! We taught them my very first day in the field about eternal families and now #holla sealed the deal after living together for 14 years. It was a great day we got to leave the mish for the wedding because the cheap judge that is only 600 pesos; works in the south east mission so we got to leave the mish and of course we got permission; don't worry mother. It was fun and they were so happy and we were so happy and it was just a good day. Now he just needs to stop smoking,  We and the zone leaders made a goal with him and he should be done with smoking and be baptized in two weeks so please pray for that man. Nacho is a cool guy he is super chill and speaks English because he used to live in San Fran. But hna. rhoten y yo told nacho we would quit eating chocolate until he stops smoking just to show we would sacrifice something too... we think its an okay idea...but he tells us we need to quit chocolate for life because he is quitting cigs for life. lol not gonna happen! 
Hnas. Rhoten y Heywood at the wedding of Nacho y Alma
Making Wedding Cakes


   Also this week was the baptism of Gerrardo, he is 22 and really quiet but he was golden. His cousins are members and we would come with them every once in a while and would go to ysa stuff. One day he was at church with them so we went to talk to him and we started the lessons and now BAM he is baptized. We only taught him for 4 weeks because he already had so many assistences he really only needed the lessons and a strong testimony to be dunked. But yeah that was last night and it was really good! His cousin baptized him who is waiting for his mission call and we told him this counts as his 1st baptism and he needed to put it in his Preach my Gospel! 

The other week we contacted this guy outside his house and that seemed cool and we went back and taught him and we found out that he and all his roommates are pilots...so cool! They are all rich too, It's weird that they all have nice cars and their house has an upstairs because that doesn't really exist here. He is cool and actually the first time we talked to him he was saying how he went to the PCC and the visitor center in Hawaii and we were telling him how our Mexico open house is soon.  He should be pretty good contact, we have a cita with him tonight so we will see. 

  I hope you all had a good 4th of July Hna. Rhoten and I got into the spirit here and painted our nails and had our red, white and blue outfits. We taught clases de ingles con los elderes that speak english so that was about as american as we got but it was good! Oh something funny I learned this week is Mexcans curl their eye lashes with a spoon....jaja.  Before Nacho y Alma's wedding her sister was getting ready and putting on her make up and she pulled out a spoon from her make up bag like a big tin spoon you would use for camping and started to curl her eye lashes.  I was just in awe and she was telling me how she has been using the same spoon for 13 years so proud..haha I guess next time I go camping if I ever need to curl my eye lash I will just whip out a nice big spoon. 
Teaching English Classes


Today has been a different p day hna. Rhoten is sick with...we don't know what so we are using the members computers we live with (family Galicia) with permission of course. I went to Walmart with Bishop's daughter while hna. Rhoten stayed home with hna. Galicia with permission of course. Also this week we had division and I stayed in the Moctezuma and hna. rhoten went with the sister training leader for the day. It was good and weird because I was in charge and had to direct the lessons but it actually went better than I thought and I gained a bit more confidence about my Spanish for it. We have interviews with president this week so we should find out more about the open house because right now we don't really know anything other than they are pulling missionary's for all the cuidad misiones to help so that way we can still work in our areas but that is all we really know right now. I have lots of pictures for you this week. Most are from the wedding and we don't have the pictures for the baptism because we forgot our cameras but one of the elders had his so he will send them to me and I will send them to you guys next week. 

Love you all

Moctezuma - Este Semana

Dear Fam,

  It's official I have completed a cycle in the mish! #holla This past week and a half have been crazy. I don't  even know where to start. Well last week we had hoped for the baptism of Angela on Thursday....but her mom, Lupe decided that Angela wasn't ready so yeah that didn´t work out. It was so so so sad and we were really bummed because Angela is totally ready and loves going to church. She speaks English so she speaks spanglish to us and she kinda scares us but its what eves. But this last week was Hna. Rhotens half birthday so we convinced one of her converts to buy us pastel so yeah that was pretty bomb because we were sad about Angela. 



Heywood & Rhoten:  Winners of the Zone Challenge!!
We also started clases de ingles this week and they are going pretty good! its fun to be teaching people English and to not be the one that cant speak. We also went to a baby shower for a lady that is in the Ward and we brought Ana with us (Jorge´s wife) she keep on saying after man i didn't like that i LOVED IT! Because she doesn´t want to get baptized because she loves her Christian church and she thinks she has seen miracles when people talk in the gift of tongues and roll around on the floor even though they just have the devil in them... lol its whatever. So we figured that the only way she will get baptized is by making friends in the Ward and going to all the activities. Then on Sunday, her and Jorge finally came to sacrament meeting and then had to leave right after sacrament because her bro in law was coming in town. So after church we went back to their house and we went to a baptism with them and had them have their  interviews after. Jorge passed with flying colors because he actually reads and prays and has a testimony...Ana no because she doesn't read the Book of Mormon and is obsessed with her church...but that's okay we kinda saw that coming. Jorge was sad though because he wants to get baptized with Ana but she doesn't want it at all! Anyways we told him we would fast with him so he could feel sure and he was down for that. Yesterday we went to their house to start the fast and it just felt different there...like they were not the same. And he told us he couldn't fast because he wouldn't be able to make it 24 hours or even 12 and we were super sad because he doesn't have faith. And then he told us he doesn't want to get baptized because he doesn't know like we do and tatata... so yeah he broke our hearts yesterday and we went home and started the fast without him and yeah it was sad we might have cried...but its just so hard when you have these families you teach and care so much about and love and they just don't get it! AHHH its just so hard because you picture them in temple White and can just see them getting sealed and then bam Satan Works hard on them because he knows they would be awesome members and they have all these doubts and start to doubt everything and yeah its hard. WE are not giving up on them though barbecue he know they will get baptized just in a longer time then we would like. But their son that is 7, Alejandro is literally a future 70, no lie he is so good, he reads and prays and he always says he's Mormon and stands up to his mom when she doubts things about the church and he yeah its so so good! He turns 8 in October so if I am not here in Moctezuma I am coming back for his baptism.....

  On another note, one of the funniest weirdest things that happened this last week was we had a reference that we went to go contact and they own a salón de fiestas....like a party hall where all the mexis go for parties and stuff....anyways banging on the door we knew it was gonna be good. Anyways this mexi man opens the door that looks just like Doc from "Back to the Future" but with curly hair. And he was like, "Aahh sisters welcome please come in" and we went in and he had EVERY pamphlet and the book of Mormon and like everything and he was like well I have been Reading this book and I have a question about page 128 or something like that (where it talks about the great abominable church) and wanted us to explain it to us...and then we got talking and he kept on observing us and was telling me that I am an artista for how I held my hands when we taught and Hna. Rhoten has the hands of a worker or something just like weird. And then we started telling us our horoscope and and this stuff and was just really entertaining and then when we were getting ready to leave he decided to read our palms and the said that I am a very diligent person that doesn't like to stop something till it is done and then we was telling us how we both have good hearts and courage jaja then Hna. Rhoten was like how many kids am I gonna have and he was staring at her hand for a while and was like wow hermana there is so many I can't count...hahah we were laughing so hard after! But yeah, that was a nice good laugh for our depressing week. 


We did end up winning the Book of Mormon challenge and the Elders made us french toast before district class! holla! Oh and also yeah Griselda sent you a pic that we took after we ate at her house. Her apt is like straight up America and it feels so good to be there. She made us fish and this like amazing crab stuff man oh man it was so so good! She is way cool she is like 50ish and her husband is away working till August so she gets really excited when we go to eat with her and goes all out! But yeah she sent you that pic of us on the couch I think, she is way cool and you guys will have to meet her one day even though you probs won't be able to understand her...I barely can! Also this past Monday, we went to the delgacion with Alma y Nacho to set up a date for them to get married. They are supposed to be getting married this friday!!!! But they just called us today (as we were making their wedding cake) to say they have a problem with the money because their son got in trouble and got into a fight with a gang and now its a big mess and they have to pay for a lawyer so they can't pay for their wedding!  That's a bit of a problem but we will work through it and they might have to wait till next week to get married which is a downer but hey that's okay! Nacho still needs to cut back on the cigs before his baptism so you know maybe its a good thing we are giving them a little bit more time. We went to the church to make the cake because we don't have an oven and every Mexican has an oven but they don't know how to use them...they just store stuff in them. haha Marianne could move here and she would be norm storing all her stuff in the oven. But yeah we also made tomato soup and bomb sandwiches to break our fast today.  

We also had to go to the offices today to get a couple things and I met one of the new sisters that got here yesterday. She looked really overwhelmed and I was just so happy I am not in her shoes anymore and I kinda know a Little bit more of what I am doing! Also Monday is when we found out if we would be staying together and staying in Moctezuma and the Elders had been messing with us for like a week saying they heard they were gonna take hna. Rhoten somewhere else and all this stuff and anyways when Monday came around, they called to tell us what was going down and said that hna. Rhoten was getting transferred and we freaked out.....then they called us back like 5 mins later and were like jk....yeah that was a scary stressful five minutes!!! haha but that's okay!

  Also this week we went to go teach Gaby, Alison's  stepsister and we usually teach them outside their  house....anyways its started to sprinkle so we made a fort out of blankets and taught them in a fort it was really fun! Those girls are so fun we are glad we get to teach golden people like them! 



Teaching in a tent!
But yeah the work is great here...there is just a lot of curve balls being thrown at us but we will get through and keep on working hard. It sounds like everything is great at home and in Jackson...that is too bad about Grandpa´s car. I hope Dad had a good fathers day and Jared's birthday was good. The lip synching contest thing sounded fun, I am glad the boys could represent! But hey random question Edguardo (or however you spell his name) Is he gonna be at the temple dedication here?  I member that he is in charge of some temples and I didn't know if that means he would be here. WE still don't know what is going down with the open house but I am sure we will find out sometime this cycle. Also that pic with Chris and Hudson is so stinking cute...he is a cute Little kid. 

Mexico is great and the work is great. I am good and healthy and alive so don't worry about me. Please just pray for Jorge and the familia Diez...Angelas family! Also mom if you haven't sent that package maybe throw in a bag of mints or something because when we give the kids mints they get so excited because its american Candy haha! Also gracias for the pictures.  When you get back to AZ can you send me the pics from when I got set apart oh and also from my baptism. Also the story from Grandpa Bobby's history about his talk with President Boyd K Packer, the one he told me not long before he died. But yeah everything is good I love you all so much and thank you for being good examples in my life and always making me keep the Sabbath day holy it is such a blessing as I teach about it to know I have always partaken of the sacrament even on vacation! I love you all and keep on having a good summer!


peace an blessins

Moctezuma - Esta Semana

Hola Familia! Esta semana fue muy bien! Tuvimos mucho trabajo y muchas personas a ver!

First of all feliz cumpleaños Jared! 

On Tuesday, we had clase de zona and the zone leaders started a competition and said whoever passed out the most book of Mormons and got the most baptismal dates this week they would make us breakfast before dististic class the next tuesday...and me and Rhoten being as competitive as we are; went to town and placed 39 book of Mormons from Tuesday to Sunday and had some really cool experiences. Of course we were lead by the spirit when placing all the BOM´s we weren't just handing them out without teaching about them so it was cool and we found a lot of really cool people that we were gonna go back to teach this week so that is cool! And we won the competition #holla #wecantstop,  Also Alisson got confirmed this Sunday so that was good! The coolest thing about her baptism is we fasted that it would be a really spiritual experience so her family that went who are not members could feel the spirit. So anyways that Monday after we went to go see Alisson and she wasn't there but her step sister was and she wanted the lessons because she liked how she felt at the baptism and now she has a baptismal date for July 12! She is 13 and just as cute as Alisson and super smart and she will be good. Her name is Gaby. Also we are teaching Alisson's half sister too, her name is Ingrid she is 16. She is really smart but kinda rebellious so we are trying to figure out how to better connect with her but we think if we just give her a lot of attention and be good friends and good examples she will turn around! Also we are starting to teach classes of english this saturday so I will tell you how that goes. A lot of people have been asking us to teach some so we figured might as well try it and see if we can get a good amount of investigators to go! 

  One of the best parts of this week was Nacho finally decided he wanted to get baptized and him and his girlfriend Alma are gonna get married next week! He his also working on quitting smoking but he has a strong testimony and he know´s its true!! So hopefully we will have some good pics from their wedding next week! Also this week we had a noche de cine in the chapel and it went pretty good. We were gonna watch "Meet the Mormons" because familia Galicia (who we live under) has the DVD but they went to Merida this week because Issac their son was gonna propose to his novia (an old sister missionary from here, she actually left the transfer I got her lol its a crazy story ask me in a year and a half to tell you the whole story because I don't have time) and they took the movie with them because they forgot about the noche de cine this Saturday! But its all good we just watched the Joseph Smith movie instead. and It was really good because an hour before we taught the resturacion to one of our new families of investigators and they all came to the cine so it was good that they just learned about Joseph Smith and then watched the movie about him an hour later. So yeah it worked out better. 

  Yesterday we went to the CV (visitor center) with Jorge y Ana and the niños and it was really good.



The CV is super cool and really high tech here so it is a nice Sunday activity and there are so so so many missionaries there on Sunday nights. So that is fun because sometimes we see missionaries from our mish! Oh also we heard, don't know if this is true or not, but we heard that all the Hermanas will be pulled out of their areas for the temple open house and we will be working it from 9 am to 9 pm so we will see if that really happens. Me and Rohten are anxious to hear what really is gonna go down. And yes she convinced her family to let her stay so she will extend so she can work the first couple days of the open house. 

  Mexico is great and there is A TON of work to do here but I love it and I love being busy. I hope you guys all have fun in Jackson it sounds like its gonna be crazy with everyone leaving and coming and yeah. And don't worry mom I am not bummed with your vacations just don't go to Europe okay! jaja But how can I be bummed when I am beautiful crazy Mexico eating juicy mangoes and teaching the gospel #blessed!  Also next week is transfers so I won't write till Wednesday. Also just to give you a better idea of where the heck I am in Mexico city; we are right next like so so close to the air port and only like 10 15 minutes away from the temple. WE are like literally almost at the bottom boundary of the mission. So its kinda noisy with all the airplanes and sometimes they are really really close but Moctezuma is pretty sweet!!! This morning when we were hanging up our laundry I took a pic of our view from the roof.


Have fun in Jackson and just know that I love you all so much! I hope you all have a good safe summer...man if you guys only knew how nice it is outside here...when people are like, "Sisters isn't it so hot" and then I tell them I am from AZ they are like oh jajaja never mind this is nothing for you....because it really isn't bad its perfect. Anyways I love you all have a good week!!!

This is our temple chart I had to draw for our Ward family history goal
of taking 200 names to the temple when it opens!
