Everyone
has been asking what our Christmas plans are. Christmas Eve and Christmas day,
we have a different schedule. We leave the house earlier and get home earlier.
Our plans are: visit a few members that we know are gonna be alone on
Christmas, anyone else who will let us into their house haha, and call our
families!
I have
a new companion who is from the Dominican Republic which speaks Spanish but
when she speaks English she has a sick accent like she’s from the Bronx and she
loves Beyonce and Rihanna so needless to say we are getting along just fine ;)
She taught me what is called a “tubi” to keep your hair straight.
After
straightening your hair, you part it on the side and wrap it around your head
and hold it in place with bobby pins. Then you put on some kind of hair net or
beanie or whatever you want (as long as it’s not something that sucks the
moisture out of your hair and makes it static-y) and you’re good to go. We had
to leave the house at 1 in the morning to board the bus that took us to
Guadalajara, so when we got home at 9, we showered and got ready, packed a
picnic lunch, and decided to sleep for a few minutes while we waited for the
taxi…
Which
never came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That
night we were part of a miracle because somehow I woke up at the last minute
and we called another taxi and got to the bus station JUST BARELY in time. That
night was a big holiday in Michoacan, so all the taxis were booked and everyone
was out partying. I seriously felt soooooooo blessed. We got to hear Elder
Russell M. Nelson and he shook everyone single one of the 500 missionary’s
hands. It was such a special day and a great Christmas present!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the
missionaries of our mission (Guadalajara East) and the Guadalajara mission were
there. I saw my old companions, and found out that the missionary I trained,
Hermana Moran, is training. Wow!!! Que emocion!!!! It was sooooo great to see
her. It was the closest thing to family that I have here in Mexico.
