Sofia asked me to let everyone know how much she appreciated all the letters she received this week. She said because today was their Temple Pday, she didn't have as much time to write to everyone. But the letters mean a TON!!! Keep writing her :) Here's the link again to the letters that get delivered to her and that she can read any day of the week. (The emails she can only read on Pday.)
Sofia is in District 3A, and her mission is Washington Everett.
FAMILY!!!!!!
First and foremost - thank you guys for all the prayers this week!! I am totally well and healthy right now! My RAS is gone and so is the parasite. Jaja.(: I'm so thankful that my B12 was high because I never got bad and I got better INSANELY quick. Feeling very thankful about that especially today. This is the P Day that everyone waits for here at the MTC - Temple outing!!!!! I'm riding on a bus through Mexico City as I type this email and it's super colorful!! It reminds me a lot of Peru.
The 4th sister in this picture is one of Sofia's teachers at the MTC.
She joined them today at the temple.
Sofia said that she missed the session, but found them outside.
The other teacher is a temple worker, so he was inside with them.
I'm feeling very blessed because this week has flown by!! My Spanish has improved a lot and the days have gone as fast as they've come. We always have awesome devotionals and teaching experiences that make me so excited to get into the field. My companions and I are literally counting down the days until we get to skirt. 25 DAYS. Lol, let's hope the weeks go more like this one than the past couple. Jaja.
Update on the CO monitor - we've got one now, so that's good. We still don't have a water tank, so we just fill our water bottles up with the tank in the apartment next door - shout out to apt. 105, you guys rock. Also, Mexico is in fact trying to kill me. Jaja. I don't think I mentioned this in my last email, but here in Mexico they put sesame on EVERYTHING (if you don't know, Sofia is allergic to sesame). Like literally think of anything that could possibly have sesame on it and it's there. So that's been real fun. I'm going to be honest I've made some pretty risky moves out here, but we Gucci. And yes, momma, I take my EpiPen everywhere with me. Hehe.
The more time I spend here in Mexico, the more I love the Gospel, but also the more thankful I am for being able to go back to the States. Like enserio, I am so lucky. Mis compañeras and I always joke that the only thing people who don't go stateside get is diarrhea. Jaja.
At the end of the day and after all of the craziness, there is literally NO WHERE I would rather be than right here in Mexico City preparing myself to serve the people of Washington. As much of a sacrifice as serving a mission is, the blessings that I have received here already are exponentially more than I ever thought possible. I want to be a representative of Christ and even more - to be able to bring others to him. I love you guys so much!! Have the best week.
PS: Shoutout to all the people sending me letters. They literally MAKE my day. Also momma coming clutch w the Mountain Dew - I LOVE YOU.
Hermana Jimenez
This pic is a left-over from last week... Sofia didn't get it uploaded to me for me to add it to the blog, but this is her good friend Macy who arrived at the Mexico MTC the same day.
And of course... no surprises that there is another Hermana Jimenez at the Mexico MTC!!!
