Well, the week was nothing new.
We have taught a couple lessons in español now. The first one was last week thursday, we had a couple days to prepare and get the language ready. It was a 15 min online lesson that went pretty well. Our second one was yesterday, we were told 0 min before that we had it. Our teacher was like "hurry, hurry let's go, we have to go teach!" So we grabbed our stuff and flat out ran. These were in person lessons, no time to prep. We taught two people about prophets, our lesson ended up being 5-10 min long. I think it went pretty well! Our next lesson is on Friday and that will be another 15 min one.
A couple days ago after our morning class, we were all feeling very hungry and wanted some good food. So we had our teacher say the closing prayer and bless the food. We all hungrily stalked towards the comidor and we could smell the food from far off. And being the entitled Americans and Canadians that we are, got super excited to see that we were having burgers haha.
Today we went to the temple, we did initiatories, it was very peaceful. The drive there and back was not as peaceful haha. The driving in mexico city is muy loco. Basically no right of way, if something or someone is in your lane and stopped you veer out of the way and into another lane regardless of if there are cars there or not. I got to sit passenger seat in a 12 person van, it was very entertaining to see how skilled of drivers everyone is. I definitely think owning a motorcycle or bike is the way to go because they just zip on through. The little walking sign at crosswalks is entertaining, it starts out with a little guy walking and we just strolling along on the spot, and as the timer gets lower and lower he gets faster and faster until he is sprinting! It was epic!
Our district is getting to the point where we are all getting sick, our bodies slowly getting used to the food and the schedule. It is no bueno.
One thing we have discussed this week in a devotional is giving. Give more than you receive. A principle of giving that has impacted my life and completely changed my life is giving gratitude. Everytime I have taken the time to express gratitude and to recognize what I am grateful for I have felt happiness, joy, peace, and comfort.
Question of the week: what is something in your life this week that has made you feel grateful?
