Myyyy apologies everyone! I kinda lost track of time last week. This week was sooo awesome, it literally flew by. If anyone was wondering I actually am learning spanish!!! They gave us a language test in the MTC and we retake it every 3 months or so. In the MTC I scored an overwhelming 2.0 lowest in the class. I was quite upset about it if Im being honest but hey thats alright. AND THEN this week I retook that baby, fresh start and got a 5.2! They say if you score a 7 you’re fluent. Lets say I'm not close to being fluent, but it feels so amazing to know your efforts are paying off! We had a ward activity this week and one of the ward members really wanted us to come over and make sure the projector would work. We ended up watching Michael Jackson music videos for a good 20 minutes! So awesome to see the cutest little 2 year old get jiggy wit it to some MJ! The past couple weeks have been full of highs and lows and at some moments I've been generally really sad or upset. But my ...

 A WEEK OF MIRICALES! This email could be a couple pages long but I wont do that to you guys. I know you got pages of other missionary emails to get to. FIRST AND FOREMOST QUEEN CREEK ARIZONA TEMPLE!!! Lets goooooo! The next thing... for those of you who don’t  know where Im serving my Mission, I'm in Oaxaca Mexico, and more specifically the area Juchitan de Zaragoza. There probably aren’t many people who know or care where the heck Juchitan de Zaragoza is, but I do know the LORD CARES! The first new Temple announced out of 17 was the Juchitan de Zaragoza Temple! When the Prophet announced the Temple my companion and I just instantley look at each other and our jaws dropped, but for some odd reason not a single person in the church where we were watching reacted... quite odd for such BIG news. Heres what happened... My comp and I were listening with airpods in (or as every mom and dad calls them "Earpods") English. But the translator in Spanish messed up and didn’t say th...

Where is the time going?! The weeks are flying by. Im really not sure what exactly to write about. I’ll do my best to give you guys something. We've all heard the saying "you got a face only your mother could love" I think my emails are "emails only a mother could read". If you feel that way feel free to scroll down to the pictures . I gave my very first talk this week in church! With nothing prepared I got up and spoke over a pulpit with no microphone and somewhere along the way mustered up the ability to say "I love my family so much and miss them. Most of all I miss my potatoes". I meanttt to say parents but hey...I guess I miss potatoes too. I don't have any more funny stories but it really was an awesome week. I feel like I’m getting into the flow of being a missionary finally and I have officially completed ONE MONTH IN THE FIELD WOOOOOOO!!!!! It’s been one of the longer months of my life, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Im going to s...
