They got to go to the visitors center at the temple. The temple was closed for renovations.

What she wrote:

So this morning we got to go to the Mexico City Temple! Well, actually

just the visitors center because the temple itself is being remodeled.

It was a forty minute drive so we got to see a lot of the city. Its

legit crazy. I cant even explain it cuz it would take to long. I´ll

send some pics so you can kind of get an idea. The visitors center is

really cool! Its small but jam packed with cool displays and things

and the big statue of Christ was super cool. The statue was really

buff and was made out of a different marble than the Salt Lake one.

Its was awesome. And of course we went shopping at this little gift

shop their and i got some cool stuff. On the ride back we sang hymns

and no joke we sounded like a choir. It was super cool. We even sang a

bunch of primary songs. Only in Mormon culture can a group of

twentyish year old sing Popcorn Popping and it be completely normal

and fun. It was a great morning.

Guys, God answers prayers. Here at the CCM they put onions is

EVERYTHING and i´m not exaggerating. It gags me to no end. Anywho when

we got back from the temple we went straight to lunch and they had

these fabulous looking taquitos. I was starving and really wanted to

eat them. I asked one of the girls next to me to take a bite and tell

me if there is onions in it. There was. I decided to just pick them

out. Well i ate them and there was not a single onion to be found!!!!

My excitement could not be contained. God does truly bless you when

you serve him. But seriously though why does their have to be onions

in everything? Its so stupid! I don´t understand it. I´m not over it.

On Sunday I gave a talk in sacrament meeting. Before you get too

excited know that we have sacrament meeting as zones. so it was only

in front of like twenty people. yes it was totally in spanish. It was

about how the book of mormon and the bible work in harmony. I did

pretty good if i do say so myself. Its scary too because you dont know

youre giving a talk until they call you up so you have to have a talk

ready each sunday. I di pretty good considering i had a bad headache

associated with Aunt Flow. Its all good.

Speaking of Aunt Flow I have two awkward stories. 1. You know how i

get really mean and snippy and extra sassy on my period. well i didnt

want my district to think i was a brat so I gave them a treat and gave

them a litle warning. The boys got all embarrassed and it was

hilarious. But they were ok with it. 2. After class my teacher asked

if i was ok. He asked if i was sick or sad or what and my dear sweet

companion points to me and exclaims SHES ON HER PERIOD. Our teacher

was like oh ok and then he said something in spanish bout my blood

being cleaned. I dont know, this week has been awkward.Although i

invested something awesome. We have to drink bottled water here so we

have water coolers everywhere. Theres hot and cold water. So to soothe

my cramps i filled my water bottle up with hot water and put it on my

tummy. I worked like a charm! #ghettoheatpad.

This week we started TRC. Its where we get to know and share a short

message with a real person that is either a member or less active or

an investigator. Its really fun. Although its really hard to

understand native speakers. They speak so fast! Its all good. Our

first person was this sweet lady who was young and i can only describe

her as Latina Barbie. She was so fun to talk to! Afterwards she gave

us a hug and i was like OH I MISS HUGS! But its alright. I´ll be fine.

The Latinas here are super aweosme. They just laugh at us trying to

speak spanish but their also great to practice with. Theyre all so

happy and sweet. Weve met girls from Colombia, Bolivia, Dominican

Republic, Peru, and everywhere else in S. America.

So, Crazy Stories of the Week. The first one is a quote from Elder

Sheehy. We sang There is Sunshine in my Soul Today for our nightly

hymn and in spanish it translates to there is joy in my soul. So after

ward Elder Sheehy without thinking sang Tango gozo en mi pantalones!

(There is joy in my pants) Then we all realized it sounded dirty and

we busted out laughing. We were all literally on the floor laughing!

It was so funny. We all like to make fun of him for it. The other

story happened when me and my comp were planning a lesson. We couldnt

find a scripture to go with it so i decided to just open my scriptures

and hope for a little miracle, so i did. And guess what? no miracle.

Instead i got a good laugh. I pointed to a scripture that said

something along the lines of And ye shall speak unto then and they

shall hearken not. Yeah it was super funny.

Love you all and miss you and love your emails!

PS Thanks for the packages! I loved them!!!!
