Adams, Summer PT

HELLO YOU WONDERFUL, AMAZING CHILDREN OF GOD I was so so blessed to talk to my family on Christmas, but the rest of the day we went caroling and members fed us too. They even would give us tons of presents and rides everywhere (because this is a walking mission). We had inter-cambios.. lo siento, I don't know the palabra in English. But it was so cool because I got to see where the first chapel was in Mexico, but it was a different change. We had a district review, and the chips I was given were so hot I started crying, but there were a couple of American elders that for some reason saw my foot size and wanted to try on my shoes... lowkey weird but funny. There's one Latino elder in the district I call abuelo because he is 26... We are hoping Mariana still wants to get baptized Sunday... soooo if y’all need something to pray for ;) Random thought... but it's so so fun to have bluish-greenish or hazel eyes because it makes me have something cool about myself and got called g...

HELLO ALL ENGLISH SPEAKERS, who are so so cool! (Lowkey love the people... miss my country) . . . EVERYONE STARES AT ME HERE, AND I'M TALLER THAN MOST PEOPLE... hence the title of the email ahah. . . . To start... I am in a total mountain area with TONS of hills, pretty views, and freezing cold weather ahahh (it's Tula) . . . Low-key it was so so hard to leave the CCM and all the people because they are fuego... ahaha and it was weird to be alone in the apartment too. But it's chill. Def did cry for a couple of days but esta bien. . . . My new companion is super duper nice and she's an STL. The house is a house in Mexico and some areas here are sketchy at night and I'm a little homesick but we chilling. It's a new adventure every day :) . . . Ohhhh and we can't flush toilet paper... ahaha. . . . OKOK... SO I LEARNED I'M IN A SKETCHY AREA and we've already had some experiences ahah, but it's all good. The elders told us that our area should not ha...

WHAT IS UPPPPP.. NEW PLACE still a fiesta in Mexico. . . . . Randomness: Last P-day we saw lots of people walking to a place I don't even know to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe, and there have been TONS of fireworks all day and night to the point it makes the air hard to breathe, but the music is so neat to hear! . . . . Christmas caroled to other apartments, and we actually sounded so good, like whatttt. . . . . SO SO FUN: We had a dance party and sang "Poco Loco" in our classroom—low-key best part of the day. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ALSOOOO I SCORED A GOAL IN SOCCER... WAHOOOOOO. . . . . Sooo, I lost my earring, and it could've been anywhere. We said a prayer, AND IT WAS FOUND! I WAS SO HAPPY. . . . . MADE A CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT... I don't know if y'all can tell from what I painted, but low-key am missing the snow. . . . . My ABSOLUTE fav...

Here’s the edited version with only spelling, punctuation, and emoji removal corrections: WHAT IS UP, GORGEOUS HUMAN BEINGS?! Did you know that God made you gorgeous? Welp, now you do. GRACE IS THE UNDENIABLE GIFT OF FAILURE & THE UNDENIABLE GIFT OF SUCCESS WE MADE CHRISTMAS CARDS! It was honestly a piece of home, which was super nice and fun to do. WE TAUGHT A NON-MEMBER, and you gotta bet the gift of tongues was real. I had verbal diarrhea in Spanish and was able to communicate and speak so, so well! 》》Did an endowment in Spanish《《 FUNNY-ISH STORY: So we decided to play soccer as a district, and y'all know soccer is so not my thing, haha. But I was actually able to have really good control of the ball for the most part. Anyways, I had the ball, and one of the elders came CHARGING at me, and instead of kicking the ball hard, he wound up and kicked my shin so, so hard. There's a scar there, haha, and I could not walk on it well at all that whole day. But now I can, so bless...

Hola Hola!!! SMILE LOTS... it makes people want to be around you more. Yes, yes... I am the one with the famous quote of the week, haha. But YOU GUYS... I WAS SO, SO HAPPY ALL DAY on Thanksgiving because I got to talk to my family lots and even got to talk to my grandparents! We had a devotional that night from Elder Cook, and then after, I got to call my family again and show all the Christmas lights here! COOL EXPERIENCE: We have devotional reviews, and after one of them, my district said that when I was talking, they could see this bright light around me. ISN'T THAT SO, SO COOL? Spanish is coming, haha... I'm great in the CCM, but outside is another story. OOO I PLAYED SOME COMPETITIVE VOLLEYBALL... there are a ton of elders who played in high school, so I've been their setter, and I've hit and passed like nobody. It's been so, so sick! And I even set one ball after a pass. YOU GUYS... three elders in the district did a doughnut-eating competition, and two of the...
