So this week was another awesome week! We started TRC which is when Mexicans from outside the wall come and take lessons from us. Some are members and some are investigators! Our first one was a member and that went well. Our second one was an investigator which was a really cool experience. She asked me why I had come on a mission if I didn't get paid and I got to bear my testimony to her and afterwards she said "that was beautiful". it was hard to understand her a lot of the time because she talked so fast but it was good. Some of my good friends left this last week for the field. It was sad but they're going to be awesome!   Sundays are the best here except for p-days of course. We get a break from all our classes and have church. Every sunday they just tell everyone to prepare a talk and they call the speakers from the pulpit so you have to be prepared. And it has to all be in spanish.    President Russell M. Nelson came and spoke for our devotional!! It was aweso...

HELLO!!! Okay this week was another great one. I love the culture and everything about Mexico!! We have two investigators and the lessons are going super well!! We have started letting the spirit teach the lessons and sometimes we completely abandon the lesson plans and just do our best. My teachers are awesome, my branch presidency is awesome and my mission president is awesome!!! I have learned so much here. The other day we were playing a game and as a lot of you know I'm very competitive... so i had to race another sister to this chair and sit in it and recite something in spanish. well when we got to the chair i accidentally shoved her to the ground and her dress flew up  and you could completely see her garments for a solid 5 seconds.. oops. I love my district so much. They are so funny and I learn so much from all of them.  I see elder Coleman from home allll the time and it's so nice to see a familiar face! We went to the temple today and the mexico city temple is poss...

hey everyone!! sorry i don't have a ton of time to email today! so sorry none of my emails are going to have capital letters because it is annoying to do it on a spanish keyboard. I slept almost the entire plane ride because i got no sleep the night before. since i was asleep though i missed when they passed out the paperwork i needed to get into mexico.... so it was a super stressful time in the airport but they let me in lol. The first day was a lot of introductory meetings and stuff for all the new missionaries. I love it here in Mexico!! It is so pretty here and warm, way better than the freezing cold in Boise! My district is awesome and my teachers are the best! I have learned so much about the gospel and my testimony has been strengthened so much! okay so i think the Lord really thought i needed to learn patience or something because my companion is very hard to handle. I won't lie. My spanish is not that great but getting better everyday! i was asked to give a prayer in ...

Hey everyone!! Sorry i don't have a ton of time to email today! I love it here in Mexico!! It is so pretty here and warm, way better than the freezing cold in Boise! My district is awesome and my teachers are the best! I have learned so much about the gospel and my testimony has been strengthened so much! My companion is a little tough but I just have to pray for patience. My spanish is not that great but getting better everyday! The food they make looks kinda weird and is not traditional Mexican food like you would expect lol. So I just eat fruits and vegetables for every single meal and my whole district calls me a vegetarian even though i'm not. It is so much fun being a missionary and i wouldn't trade my MTC experience for anything! I've met so many new friends! We are working hard from 6:30 in the morning until 9:30 at night but its great!! I see Alyse or Hermana Erickson all the time and it's so much fun to see her. I love you all so much!     Hermana Wilhelms...
