Its been yet another good week here at the CCM! Lots of hard work, language study, gospel study, fun times, and so much more! I'm so thankful that i get to be here for 6 semanas! I definitely would not be ready to go serve the people in Wisconsin with the Spanish I know! I'm learning a lot but I think I need as much time here as I can get! I can't wait to get out though!
I've had a lot of questions about what I eat so... The food is like really good but I don't eat that much because the food is like not that good. It's not good enough for seconds usually haha. Some of the best things that I've had is pizza, hamburgers, chicken strips, chicken patties, and potatoes! And they always have a different kind of juice that I never try because I don't want to not like it:)
This week for our service project we got to go to the comedor and I thought we were going to have to clean dishes but we got to do something way better! We got to make the food that we were having on Monday! We had burritos. It was all super good!!! Except that they put peas inside of it. I think they put peas in everything so I always dig them out of the food no matter how hard it is. But the main chef, his name is Esteban and he is such a cool dude! He always stands outside before all the meals and greets us and always gives me a hug! He's so nice! Anyway, after our service project he made us cheese quesadillas and it wasn't like my favorite thing ever but my whole district loved them and he's so nice!
I just love it here. All of the classes are great and I learn so much about Spanish and how to be a missionary and all the fun stuff! All the teachers are seriously so smart haha! And most of them are return missionaries and you can just tell that they had such a good time on their missions and were good missionaries and I really hope that I am like that at the end of mine!
Here on the mission it's so easy to see the Lord's hand in my life but I know that he helps everyone. I started a journal at the beginning of the year and I always wrote down one way the Lord has blessed my life and here it's my whole journal haha it's been so fun to see and recognize. And I think that as we recognize Him in our life and thank Him for all He does He is willing to give us even more.
I know the church is true! Thank you for all of your prayers and support:) I love you all!
DO GOOD BE GOOD

One last thing I forgot about!! One day we were all walking to dinner and we looked up and there was a ton of smoke coming from the hill. Im going to attach a picture but the picture doesnt look as bad as it was. And there was actually 2 fires! One was this picture and there was another one farther down the mountain. But it seems like there is always a new fire at least 1 time every week!
