Week 2: Hermana Lapp Survives Another Week at the Mexico City CCM!

This week went by faster than last week! We committed our 1st inv. to baptism and now we have 2 invest. on talks super fast and i cant understand a word hes saying. our outher invest. talks pretty slow, i can catch most things. So far ive memorized the missionary purpose, the baptismal invitation. pary of santiago 1:5 and part of mosiah 10:4-5 in spanish. As soon as I get those down i will start on the 1st vision. I also dont have to write down every sentence of my lesson and thats pretty good. I can pray in spanish and bear testimony in spanish. I really wont be very good when i get out in the field, but im praying for a latina trainer. itll be hard, ,but easier to learn the language. Sundays are pretty good, we get to watch a devotional by someone cool and we get to watch a church movie. We watch joseph smith: the profet of the restauracion yesterday and theres a part where joseph smith and emmas sillouettes kiss and all of the missionaries covered their comps eyes in the auditorium....it was hilarious. Other than that, everhting is normal. Clasas all day and then more class. mexico is crazy and they party all night long here so we listen to fireworks, music, and a little old man on the mountain who has a taco truck with a recording that yells "TACOS" while we're trying to sleep. Its cool, though, although we never leave our school. We get to take a field trip to the temple sometime here soon, but its still under construction unil september, so we4 dont get to go inside. But we do get to buy some fun souveneirs. Theres these things call bueno bars at the store in the ccm and im super depressed because they are not allowed to sell the in the us. When I have a bad day, we go to la tienda and eat a bueno bar. And we try to trick our teachers into buying us bueno bars. and we try to get our teachers to bet us we wont do something for a bueno bar. then we do it and one time the other hermanas in the district got a bueno bar from our maestro. it was awesome. we have 4 teachers and their all awesome and great at teachign spanish. I had a freak out overwhelmed day and our only female maestra helped me calm down....the same thing happened to one of the other hermanas in our district. I think we are all going to miss hermana vergara. well, if we come back later i might tell you more. 

ok what else can i tell you about...........

today we got locked out of our house because our electronic keys stopped working and we went on a wild goose chase trying to figure out how to fix them. Theres only 150 people here and this place can hold 1000 something. Im just in class all day long......i actually work out everyday....SURPRISE. I ride what i call death bikes (the bikes for spinning classes) and then i do recumbent bikes and elipticala.....I dont know what im going to do when i no longer have a gym to go to. One of the hermanas get packages and shes the only one! And shes like a liittle bird and doesnt eat it! its cool though, the first package had weird mexican candy and mexican chips, byt i think shell eat the one she got today. It had bread and stuff,

Im hoping today we get a nap. We dont really do much on pday, just laundry and email and naptime....thats basically it. 

Anyway being a missionary is awesome. We have lots of spiritual experiences everyday and learn so much, but i cant wait to be in the real mission field. Its going to be awesome even though i have to speak spanish. I dont really have much else to write about.........

haha love,
