Lighning McQueen en Español


2/5/25

Hola hola! I am alive in la Ciudad de Mexico Missionary Training Center! Learning tons of Spanish and hating the conversion of dollars to pesos. 1 dollar is 21 pesos? Who decided that? 

My companion is Hermana Hawkins from Utah. She plays volleyball and loves to match everything with me. We are both going to Chile Santiago Norte together! She and I don't know how to say socks in Español so we say feet clothes. 

Here is my district

Hermana DelHoyo (artsy photographer) Elder Gearheart (Georgian southern cowboy) Elder Blodgett (thrifty Idaho guy), Elder Woolstenhulme (band kid from Virginia) , Hermana Hawkins (volleyball master) and Elder Clifford (on BYU football team). We are all so different from each other, and we are all BEST FRIENDS!

We are lucky enough to have the new CCM president! Presidente Ruiz. He is super cool and says we will be better at Spanish and english than him

Mexico CCM is the most beautiful campus.
I am already getting tanned (sunburned) because we play sand volleyball every day. (Shout out Ava Dee. My volleyball girl) We do one Missionary training class and one language training class every day. We love our teachers because they let us be goofy. With our teacher, Hermano Barajas, we decided to prank him by scooting all our desks closer to him while he was teaching. He finally noticed when we were all 3 feet away from him. He is so timid so its funny. I taught him how to do a Utah fit check and also what "I call dibs" means.

Being a real missionary is baller, and I love getting to know everyone my age. EFY on steroids.

I taught a practice lesson in Español yesterday which was hard, but successful. It is an adventure here and I miss my dog but we have elders that are right out of high school so its pretty similar to having a dog. 

Hermana Hawkins and I work hard on our studies and love to take photos and videos of random things so if you want to see way more Hermana Delhoyo content here is the link to my google album. Join it.

Spiritual thought
Mosiah 26:7
But king Mosiah said unto Alma: Behold, I judge them not; therefore I deliver them into thy hands to be judged

It is not our place to judge anyone EVER. It is Gods place. Fill your life with joy by loving your neighbor, not judging them. 


So much love in my heart! If you want to message me send me an email!

Death by cats

I ate lunch at a sister's house! She had 5 cats and two dogs. She made pizzas for us by hand, really really yummy. But I think the pizzas had cat dander in it... annnd Im allergic to cats. so before I knew it I began sneezing sniffling and my lungs began to swell. I should have known that when my companion was sniffling too it would be bad. Later that day I went to a house with six cats. Yippee. At least the lessons went well and they felt loved. Im teaching a pregnant lady. She had her baby yesterday! Super cool and super fun text to receive. We were teaching Eduardo for a while. In our last lesson he said at the end "I don't want to take anymore lessons from you.. but here are some cookies" (so we dont hate him I'm assuming) it was kinda funny but also pretty sad.  But we got break up cookies! Cooked milanesa with Elder Ballejos, Elder Johnson, Hermana Mcmullin, and a family from our ward. It is an Argentinian dish so Ballejos was very proud. Learning more and t...

Proposals

  Hola todos! I got proposed to twice. One time went like this. "How do i get closer to God?"  "Go to church! Its down the road every Sunday at nine am!" "Okay. I want to marry one of you." Real slick. I was able to serve in the city for a day! In the mission we have one day every transfer where you get to switch companions. I was sent to the city with Hermana Crespo from Bolivia. We visited this home that housed about 20 people. Five little boys were playing soccer in the "house". I use quotes because there wasn't a roof in this section of the house. Well they allll started calling me "tia tia tia!" And I said "ay! Call me Hermana" and they all said "okay okay."       Ten mins later they started calling me "ella ella!" Exactly how my first name sounds.... huhhh?? Weird because they don't know my first name! Well I guess these kids call women "ella" because shortly later I heard them call ...

Thats a name of a person we tried to find this week. Ive been saying it nonstop in my head. Water in the ceilings.. condensation on the walls.. yup. The elders left the baptismal font running hot water all week after their baptism last sunday. They said that a good chunk of the mission is dealing with baptismal font problems so yay! Marked off my first one this week! Our friend who is 12 couldnt come to church because her ride canceled on us. I was praying while the church service was starting and Dayis just walks in and sits with us. She said she walked herself to an hermanas house, knocked the door, and made her take her to church. HAHAAA I LOVE GOD!! We baptized my friend Loreto yesterday! The dog we named Comida is always in town and sometimes follows us. Well these two little 7 year old girls run around this apartment complex and love Comida. Comida ran away, and the little girls started screaming "COMIDAAAA". The neighbors were giving weird looks, but you gotta give it ...
