El Día De Los Muertos!!!

Hi guys! These past few weeks have been so crazy! I finally made it to the CCM in Mexico!! Here it literally feels like living in a mix between the hunger games and junior high hahaha. But I'm loving it so much. I'm in a trio with the bestest companions ever and I absolutely love my district.


There have been fireworks every night (and day) since I've been here for el día de los muertos. We were so excited for this holiday as missionaries because the senior missionary couples promised us that we were gonna watch Coco!!!! Our little missionary minds were literally exploding. We were so excited we couldn't believe it. We all went and bought mexican candy and snacks from the tienda here in preparation. Turns out there was a miscommunication... we only got to watch the TRAILER of Coco, so instead of watching the movie, we had a wonderful 2hr discussion of the book of mormon while eating our movie snacks. Moral of the story, the book of Mormon is always more important than Disney movies.


For reals tho, reading the book of Mormon while I've been here has brought me so much joy and comfort when I'm feeling down. I read this verse in Jacob 3 that says, "Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with exceeding faith, and he will console you in your afflictions, and he will plead your cause, and send down justice upon those who seek your destruction." 


I love you all!! Hope everyone is doing well!

ROCHA

Hi guys!!! I finally made it to Uruguay!! I've been here for about a week and a half now!! My area is Rocha which I think is about 3 hrs from Montevideo. The people here are so nice and patient with my spanish, especially my companion. She's from Idaho and is the nicest ever!  We went on exchanges this week and I spent the day with another hermana in San Carlos. She has been here only 6 weeks longer than me so we are both still learning spanish! Im still shocked that our companions trusted us enough to be in charge of an area for a day but it all worked out. Not gonna lie it was way scary going around trying to teach people when we had no clue what anyone was saying!!! The people here looooove to talk and tell stories and so it's a stressful guessing game trying to choose which facial expression to make while they're telling me stories because I never can tell if they're sad stories or happy ones. Hahaha please pray for my spanish. Being in Uruguay is so cool though...

Praying For Rain

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well! This week was so awesome! We found 7 new people to teach and are so excited because we are finally seeing success in our area! It's definitely been a struggle though because the heat is so intense!! Apparently there is a big drought going on right now and so they're starting to shut the water off in different cities near my area.  Our mission leaders had us all buy emergency water today so that we can all be prepared because we don't know when they will turn off the water or for how long..... ahhh pray for us here in Uruguay!!  I miss you all!! Feel free to write me whenever;););) it makes my day hearing from you guys! Xoxo Hermana Heyborne PICS: 1. cookie dough!!! 2. my first torta frita 3.
