Hey everyone!
This week flew by. Nothing really crazy happened, just a ton of progress in class for 13 hours everyday. My teaching skills are really improving but my Spanish progression has slowed down.
The biggest highlight of the week was on 4th of July... even though it was in Mexico. At lunch they served bacon cheeseburgers, BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, potato chips, A&W root beer, and tacos for those not celebrating, haha. They have to serve tacos for every meal here! During lunch, one sister missionary went over to the piano in the comedor and started playing the Star Spangled Banner. All of the Americans stood up and started singing. It was awesome. Every American was wearing red, white and blue. I LOVE AMERICA! During gym time we had a great game of AMERICAN football! We had a couple more hours of class in the afternoon, then had Hawaiian pizza for dinner. After dinner we had a devotional given by the Mexico City temple presidents. It was really interesting. He spoke about keeping our covenants. Overall a great day!
It was super sad seeing elder Maldonado leave. He is the guy from San Pedro Sula that I got super close with. He's in one of the pictures below. It's crazy how fast time is flying here. It feels like it was just two days ago that I moved in and met him.

My dad sent me a quote this week from Ezra Taft Benson that really stuck with me... "Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, and pour out peace."
I am grateful for our loving Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. Thank you guys for all the emails and letters! You are the best! I love hearing from you all.
