As a Sister in Zion: Week 38: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!At the temple at 4 a.m.!

WELL, its official guys..... IM TWENTY YEARS OLD. I feel like an old lady... waaahhhh....
eh, oh well.

Well this week was filled of all sorts of eventful happenings.

Tuesday I got to go to the temple at 4 in the morning. I only got 2 hrs of sleep that night, but I’ll tell you that it wouldn’t have mattered if I didn’t even sleep at all. It was TOTALLY worth it. And it was super fun bc I’m with my best friends during all of it. I’ll tell you that it was such an amazing and spiritual experience that Heavenly Father has given me. it was such an experience that I can’t describe with words and am forever grateful for. But yeah, there’s that.

Then yesterday was my bday!! It was super fun, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better bday than to spend it sweating and working for the Lord in Mexico. I love it here. So for an amazing bday gift that Heavenly Father gave me was 5 (did ya hear that? 5!) investigators in the church and 1 progressing who will be baptized on the 18th by his brother who is coming home from the mission. Yeah, I’m super pumped. We have planned at least 4 baptisms this transfer and more to come. I just love it here. And the ward is freaking huge! Not as big as our ward back home, but compared to Izamal, there’s a ton of ppl and I love it bc they do activities. so yeah, needless to say we are super excited to be working here in this ward.

We still haven’t found a house yet, but I’m not complaining bc I love living with my two other Sisters. It soo much fun! Even though the house is super tiny and we all have to share a tiny bathroom... it’s still a blast!

So yesterday, my companion, Hna Frost totally surprised me last night. So we had finished the day and were heading back home and when I walked into the door of the house, there was a surprise "party" waiting for me! the other 2 sisters had come back to the house early to cook hamburgers (can’t remember how to spell that... awk.) and they had bought a strawberry cheesecake (which was super delicious) and they had all gotten me a card and a t-shirt that says "I Heart Merida" like one of those classic NYC t-shirts. So yeah, needless to say, I loved my first and (probably) only bday here in Mexico.

Well, that pretty much describes my crazy week I had. Pics are coming soon!
I love you all and thanks soo much for all the bday emails that I got.

Talk to yall next week!
