HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Man, can you guys believe that it’s
already January of two thousand freaking fifteen???!!! I’m dying bc the time is
just flying by. I remember in May when I left thinking that 2015 is going
to take FOREVER to get here and look at where we are now, IN JANUARY!
Anyways, this week was super
slow with the work. We actually had a really good number on the lessons we
taught, but felt like there wasn’t really any progress. We worked normal
hours Christmas Eve and Christmas day in case you all were wondering. It was a
little weird, and for me, those days definitely didn’t feel like Christmas to
me. So that’s why I’m not really missing home all that much right now. But I am
missing the snow!!
It’s started to get hot again
here. Yeah, I asked around and everyone says that the cold weather is done. Yeah,
it lasted for like a week. And the cold weather here only felt like cool fall
days with the wind blowing. To me, it felt amazing during the day, but at night
not going to lie, it was super hard to sleep bc there’s no such thing as keeping
warm if you sleep in a hammock, haha. But yeah, it’s going to start to get hot
again here. bleh.
Christmas day was AMAZING! Really
only bc I got to talk to you all. It was soooo good to see all of your
beautiful faces again and hear your voices. Thanks for letting Dylan and Jordan
come over and be in the Skype call too. It was amazing to talk and catch up
with them, esp. Jordan. It was soo good to see him to know that he is doing
okay.
Well, that’s about it for this
week. We are still working strong with “He is the Gift” and will be sharing it
with everyone well into next week. And next we are going to start working with
the “My Family” pamphlets that we have. If you guys don’t have a My Family
booklet, ask the mishies what they are and they can give you some. Everyone
should have their own individual pamphlet, completely filled out.
There has been a renewed
emphasis in family history work and really, every time I get to teach or hear
about family history, this amazing strong spirit is present. Literally, one of
the major things that I look forward to when I get home is to really start on
my family history. Like dig deep, and I want to do it together with you mom. So
I hope you’re working hard in gathering names and learning lots from Sis. Burdett
cause I want you to teach me everything you’ve learned when I get back.
Well, that’s it for this
week.
I love you all sooo much!! And I
can’t wait to talk to you all again on Mother’s Day.
Love,
Hermana Plátano... hehe (that
one was for you daddy)

| So its kind of hard to see but those little specks that are in the sky are giant grasshoppers. We were walking one day and I look up and they were literally EVERYWHERE! You cant really tell in the pic, but they were flying around above us in groups that made them look like dark clouds. It was super gross and weird and I totally thought a plague had made its way to Izamal. And everyone else that was outside were just acting normal like it was an every day occurrence to have GIANT GRASSHOPPERS take over the sky. It was super creepy. |
