Boston or bust!

Hola!

This week was great and I leave for Boston in less than a week! Fantastico! As much as I have loved the CCM, I am ready to get the heck out of here. It´s been great playing missionary, but it´s time, my friends. This past week my district celebrated our 1 month mark! We had some brownies and bubbly (sparkling cider) to commemorate the event. And, like, what happened to August?? Because I LITERALLY have no idea. 

This week has been a week of lasts. Today is our last p-day here, we had our last noche de pizza last night. We had our last Tuesday night devotional... And Jeffery R Holland did NOT come. It was a little sad. It´s been a hope of ours that he would come ever since the first week. I don´t know why. It was a far stretch.  But oh boy, am I ready to move on to bigger and better things. AKA Boston. Technically Mexico City is bigger. But lets not get nit-picky. 

This last Sunday was SO GREAT. Except it was like the Hermana Frei show. I taught the zone meeting with Hna Webb, I sang a prelude hymn, I played the piano for sacrament meeting, and my district sang a special musical number. I was scared my Branch President was going to ask me to speak too. Good thing that didn´t happen. AWKWARD. Anyways, our lesson went really great. Hna Webb went all relief society on me so we ended up making handouts for our entire zone. We made 60 little paper feet that said "get your feet wet.  Joshua 3." They were actually pretty cute and our Branch President thought we were the best things ever. We initiated the help of the Elders in our district to cut out the feet. And Elder Valentine got a little carried away and made a competing handout. See the attached pic. Hermana Eddy gave a talk in church about the Restoration and she wanted to read Alma 17:11 but ended up reading Alma 16:11. Look it up. We were all busting a gut. It´s an honest mistake because when you read the scriptures in spanish it´s hard to understand them sometimes. But wow. Best thing of my LIFE. 

Oh and also guess who is here at the CCM?! Joy Purnell! My roommate from BYU! It´s been so fun to see her here on campus. 

Anyways, the church is true! I have learned so much here and I can´t wait to get to Boston. Can you tell I´m a little excited? I just want to start working with real people. Also, the address for my mission home is 182 West Central Street, Suite 203 Natick, Massachusetts 01760-3799. Send me letters! And packages! Actually, do what you want. I´ll still love you regardless. 

Have a great week!
