CCM Life

I can't believe how cold it was for you guys!! It's so nice here. For real.

Um the food is good, they have kinda weird options sometimes but its good. Like breakfast is usually scrambled eggs and something weird like chicken salad, bean burritos, or nachos, no joke, straight up meat sauce on chips with cheese on top. But in the hall they have like a giant toast making station haha so thats good. And in the comedor there's two salad bars that have salad and some fruit and then condiments. They make fresh salsa a lot and its pretty spicy but SO GOOD. And then sometimes they have american stuff like pancakes or waffles. They french toast is the best, basically because its like..... idk how to explain haha, it has cinnamon sugar crystallized onto it or something. Its amazing. Otherwise its a ton of meat all the time for lunch and dinner--like hamburgers, or enchiladas, or chicken sandwiches, or pizza. or these kind of taquito things. and there's almost always refried beans and rice. So yeah. It's cool.

Class is mostly boring but sometimes it's really fun. Our teachers are good. Actually I just remembered Hermano Saucedo says hi haha. He's our main day teacher. Then we have a language and fundamentals teacher. and then a night teacher. So basically the same three people every day haha. Its fine. I basically know all the spanish they're teaching us right now so its kind of super boring, but I learn new words sometimes. so its whatever. 

Every night almost haha I'll bring up something and make it controversial haha like adam and eve- were they actually real people #brighamyoungquote haha or like Nephi killing Laban. 

I love my district so much. It's 6 sisters and 2 elders. And we read a verse somewhere in Nephi about knowing the mysteries of God, and so we do mysteries of each other, and so we have mystery time everyday when we can't study or work anymore, and some of mine were that I love snakes, and am a huge Heavenly Mother advocate.

I dont know. Life honestly is the same everyday, nothing really changes. We watched Meet the Mormons and it was cool. I would see it just to say I've seen it haha. The candy bomber part is the only part that actually got me at all though. The rest was like uh yep #reallifehappens.... idk hahaha, I think even Mormons who have never lived anywhere other than Utah would have been surprised by what they saw in the movie you know? But it was cool. 

Here are some pictures. The last one is our casa #17 so obviously they gave us that house because they knew it was my favorite number. Love you!!!

First P-Day Email!!

Can you just check my juno email and make sure I get all the emails to
my mish email now. I lost the ability to make question marks so that
was meant to be a polite question not a demand haha. UGHHH I missed
her letter!!!!! SADNESS.  I thought she was familiar hahaha. cool. 

We just went to the visitors center today and I got a bag and a case and a
framed pic of the temple for her haha Cleaned me out almost but I'm
good. We get a ton of pesos every week so its cool. 

 My comp is Hermana Olivia Stevens from Layton Utah
and she's cute and has a boyfriend in Orlanda on his mission and she is
musical and stuff and she loves David Bowie, so we get along really
well. The best spiritual experience was that talk Jeannine talked
about--the character of Christ, by Bednar, and it made me cry a
little, especially thinking about the Driscolls. How are they doing?
Ah! found it! haha cool. But yeah, life is good, food is good. Hermana
Corbridge who is one of my roommates was in Brian Patch's YSA ward
with me and I knew her a little then so we can talk about people from
the ward be both disliked hahahah
