3/2/16--Week One

So I have two things to apoligize about first. First ignore my English grammar, learning Spanish has made me forget a little English so it may sound a little weird. Two, the key board is in Spanish so sometimes I hit the wrong button. Anyway my week has been great!! I love it here in Mexico and I love the CCM. I feel like I am learning and growing so much. My district is amazing we all get along great! My companion´s name is Hermana Gourley and she is from the valley in Utah. We get along great!

This week has been full of relying on the spirit and lots of studying. Most of our day is spent studying more Spanish than the gospel. We can only talk in spanglish so we can pick up the language faster. We started teaching an "investigator" aka our teacher lessons in Spanish. The first time I went in I was so nervous but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of days. Also, the other most spiritual experience I had was when we had a devotional yesterday and then afterwards they gave us time to talk as a district about the devotional. I felt I should share a personal story that realated to the topic. Once we got home one of the Hermana´s in my district came up to me in tears showing so much gratitude for the story because she needed to hear the story because she is going through something similar. I love how much the spirit is here and helping us to guide us to what we need to say as well as with learning the language. I absolutly love it here!! I love the Lord with all my heart and I know this gospel is true!

We have the chance to go to the Mexico temple today and I am super excited! I can´t wait to be in the temple again! Also, the small sad news I have is one of my teachers is moving to Canada next week with his family so yesterday was his last day. Also everything is in Spanish so church, lessons, and everything are in Spanish. We are basically learning Spanish in Spanish which is hard to do.

Anyways, I hope you all have a great week!! I miss you all a ton and I hope everything is going great!!

Love

Hermana Ashford
