Week 53

Hola Everyone!

So this week, not a whole lot happened because I actually had to travel 24, YES 24, hours in an autobus to Oaxaca. Oh, and don't worry. I didn't puke this time and I also had to travel alone. It was so dang weird being alone for the first time in a year! I had to go and renew my Visa. But, hey, that means that I've been out a year now and I literally can't believe how dang fast the time flies out here in the mission field. It's like I'm sitting here emailing you guys every other day. That's what it feel like anyway!!

It was so dang good to go back to Oaxaca and feel the good ol weather that's in the city. Because here it is absolutely insane. I don't think I've stopped sweating since I got here! I also got to see some of my best friends of the mission and we had such a good time talking about the mission and everything that has happened in the past year!

I just have to share a quick super funny story. So we were sitting there on the couches in the office just playing catch with a football and good ol Elder Reid from the MTC told us, "You know guys. I'm dying out here a little bit." He was referring to getting really tired. And then he said, "Ya, so today I woke up at 9 AM." I don't think I've laughed so hard in a super long time. We were dying laughing. Hahahahahaha!! Good times on the mission!

I absolutely love the mission - the good times and the bad - the ups and the downs. I have been so dang blessed through it all and I'm so excited to be able to finish this last year and see so many more miracles!! I know that I'm not perfect, but I know that when we are willing to do what's right, Heavenly Father will bless His children. I love you all so dang much and I hope you all have an amazing week!!!
