Hi everyone!! I finally made it to the Mexico MTC!
It is so pretty here, but a lot colder than I expected it to be. Here's a brief overview of my week:
On Thursday I got to the CCM, and had a bunch of welcome meetings and everything! I also met my companion, Hna. Buyack in person, and we get along great! Also on Thursday I ran into one of my friends from BYU, Hna. Smith! I'll get a picture with her for next week!
Friday there were more welcome meetings and I met my district. At first it was a little awkward, but I feel like we all get along now. Also on Thursday, Hna. Buyack and I were called as Sister Training Leaders, which basically means we're in charge of welcoming all the incoming Sister missionaries in our zone and arranging all the music for Sunday and relief society lessons. I know, it sounds like a lot. But it will be good!
Saturday was our first full day of classes and it was a lot better than online MTC. I feel like it's definitely easier to learn in person.
Sunday we went to a branch leadership meeting (since we're STLs) and then church. After that we had some time to study as a district which was really spiritual and then we had a devotional Sunday night by Elder Kearon about always looking for joy, it was really good!
Monday - Wednesday was just classes and nothing really exciting happened.
This morning our district went to the temple and it was so cool. The Mexico temple is one of 5 (I think) that has the angel Moroni holding the golden plates so it was really cool to see that! And it was fun to see more of the city on the bus ride, it's so colorful!
So that was my week! I would love to hear from you, so send me an email sometime!
Love ya,
Hna. Erickson
