More Coke in Mexico- Week 9

Well everyone, another week down, another week closer to God. I just want to say, I love reading from the Book of Mormon. I love learning more about Jesus Christ and all that He has done for me. This Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is centered on Him and all that He did for every single person that has ever lived and ever will live. I am grateful that I get to share such a beautiful message to these people here. 

Life is kind of crazy around here! We wake up early, go to bed late, and walk all day long. I am pretty exhausted by the end of the day so I sleep like a baby every single night. I haven't had a bad night here yet! (I'm knocking on wood hopping that I don't jinx myself.) But we are always talking to people and trying to get into their houses. 

Anyways! We live on a hill her in Mexico, But that isn't a surprise because basically all of Mexico is a hill. At least where I am at. I was looking at some of my friends emails and the pictures and I think that we are looking at the same volcano just on the exact opposite sides! That is crazy! I can see 2 different volcanos from where I live. 1 is inactive and the other shoots ashes in the air like 3 or 4 times a week. So that is kind of a crazy thing to see. 

Soo about that Coke. They seriously have coke shops at like every corner. They love themselves some coke. I think that coke makes more money here in Mexico than in the United States. I drink a fair amount but I am trying not to drink much because I want to like it when I go back home. 

We are working so hard and teaching so many different families. We always struggle to get them all to church but they all have wonderful spirits and I love being in their homes. They don't have much but they share all that they can. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is such a light in my life and I look forward every day to learn and become more like Jesus Christ. Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts. I love you all and love love love hearing from you every week!!! Email me!
