URUGUAY🇺🇾🇺🇾

 helllloooo lovely people!!!

☆ i'm in a tiny little area called carmen that i love very much. I WAS BLESSED WITH THE MOST PRECIOUS BRANCH EVER

☆ the chapel flooded! luckily it's not even really a chapel, it's more like a hallway with some rooms off of it so it was pretty quick to clean up.

☆ went on an insect killing spree this week, felt like an absolute baddie, conquering fears all over the place. sometimes they still get the best of me though and there may or may not be a gigante cockroach that i was too afraid to kill beneath a bowl in our room

☆ the desserts make up for the bugs! alfajores are these chocolate covered cookie-brownie-dulce de leche things and there's also pastries called bizcochos that i'm addicted to. my comp loves making bets so i bet her that if i get a nun from the catholic school by our house to sign a Libro de Mormón she has to buy me bizcochos every day for a week. Slightly sacrilegious but that's how good bizcochos are.

☆ only tangible thing on my Christmas list this year is a motorcycle, everyone has one here and I have fomo

☆ thought one of our friends asked me if I was deaf, turns out she was asking me if I was left-handed. Honestly the question would have made sense though, I pretty much just nod and smile when ppl talk to me.

☆ I think Heavenly Father speaks to me through elderly women. So many times I prayed for comfort and always some precious lady gave us cookies or invited us to look at her garden. So grateful!!

hey guys! last week at the CCM! here are some highlights from my time here:

☆ HALLOWEEN!!! all of us hermanas dressed up as disney princesses and then at night we trick-or-treated but instead of houses we used our shower curtains and bedroom doors and instead of buckets we used shirts and tupperwares. it was so fun!

☆ Coco. this is actually a lowlight but the presidents totally pranked us, we all thought we were gonna watch Coco for day of the dead and there was this huge buildup and then WE JUST WATCHED THE TRAILER. tears were shed. 

☆ regressing to your hunger games phase is a great getting-to-know-you activity!!! all of us hermanas assigned everyone a hunger games district and went as far as figuring out exactly how long we would all survive. would recommend!

☆ no sea chiflado means "don't be a crackpot" (i think) and i learned it from a guy in the cafeteria. so, yeah! don't!

☆ best quote: "you've never felt real joy until you've pushed a guy who doesn't have toes"

☆ my comp judson says i speak spanish in my sleep but i wish i could speak it when i'm awake

☆ quick ode to elder bednar, several of our devotionals have been from him and this man DOES NOT MISS. i think i'm a little in love with him but that's not allowed for missionaries so jk. i really loved a devotional he gave about how Christ's most defining attribute is that he turns out when other people would turn in. basically he always thinks of others first even when he is facing trials. i want to do that!

yayyyy have a great week!! next week i'm gonna be in uruguay!!
