I don´t have much
time, but we are allowed to hurry and shoot a quick email to let you know I
made it to the mission safely. I am serving in an area really close to La
Molina, which is where the temple and CCM are. Our apartment is probably 2 min.
away from the temple and is the nicest apartment in the whole mission...which
is awesome, except that now I will have the best to begin with and things will
get worse from there. But the living conditions really haven’t bothered me too
much which is really nice. My companion is great, I love her already! Her name
is Hernama Ramírez. She is from Mexico but speaks a little English which will
be helpful as I'm learning. She is so sweet and has such a kind heart. We'll
get along great, I’m sure of it.
My last week in the CCM
was great, lots of packing and saying goodbyes though so I’m a little excited
to have moved on now. We had the opportunity to go tracting on Saturday which
was amazing. I wish I could say more!!! And then today has
been an amazing first day también! Sorry my Spanglish is coming out, I’ve been
hearing and speaking Spanish all day! We met up with the mission at the chapel
and I got to see Elder Kolton Pierson, Elder Taylor Griffin, and Elder Nick
Batty which was so fun. Great to see familiar faces! Then we had some training
and we were off!
We took everything to
the apartment and then went to the grocery store to buy breakfast for the week.
While there we started talking to one of the workers there and had a whole
lesson with her right there in the isle of the store! I couldn’t understand
everything but I could understand the jist of what was going on. Then I also
gave her a BOM!!! First BOM placement!! Yay!!! It was so cool. Then we spent
the rest of the day visiting less actives and contacting a little. I’ve been
doing pretty ok with teaching in Spanish and my comp is really good at helping
me and letting me speak. The members here are so strong and amazing! I can
already tell this is going to be a great transfer and I love the people
already.
I don’t have much time
but please know I’m doing great and loving it. I'll definitely be a little lost
and confused for the first few weeks but it'll get better every day and I am
confident that the Lord will be there to help me. I love you all so much! Thank
you for your support! Keep praying for me and know I pray for you every night
too!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Cox
