Dancing Through Life: A Sister Missionary's Story!

Hola from Mexico!!! It feels like its been forever since I've had a P day! So much has happened lately that I don't know where to start... My district (5 elders and 6 hermanas) sang in Devotional on Tuesday and that was so good! I sang the Alto part with one of the other girls, so that was new for me!  I love helping the newbies, you can always tell who the new ones are because they have a super confused look on their face all the time... My Zone leader looks EXACTLY like Mr. Incredible! Its actually kind of hilarious! He leaves for Chile (I forget where in Chile) on Sunday night so I'll be getting a new zone leader soon. Spanish is still really hard for me, but I'm learning that its better to speak solo español and mess up and be corrected then to just keep quiet unless you know for sure what to say.  I've asked myself a lot why I was called to speak Spanish on my mission, because I feel so confident in teaching in English, but I know that I...

Hola amigos! I still have a lot of español in my brain so sorry if I have spanglish or spell words wrong! It has been absolutely insane.. stressful.. happy... pretty much every emotion you can think of! After landing and going through customs, w-e got on a bus to ride to the CCM (Mexico MTC) and I thought Chicago people were insane drivers! Literally there were people walking in-between cars selling stuff, I swear we almost crashed so many times! It was so cool and crazy! The first day, we got here around 6ish.. moved into our casas and then went to Devotional! Which was ALL in Spanish! So I freaked out a little (internally) and then I was okay.. The devotional was pretty much all we did the primera dia! My compañera is Hermana Christensen, she’s taller than me (5.9) has brown hair, and is super good at Spanish! It’s a little discouraging because a lot of my district is really picking it up fast, and I understand most everything now, but I'm struggling with speaking it....

Hola familia!  I made it to the mexico MTC safe and sound! The drive here was crazy, the drivers are insane! I'm district 7D and my P Day is on Wednesday, but I can't email you until next week.  Love you all!!! Hermana Williams
