Hermana Jones week 51

So this week was really good-- we had the baptism of Israel!  Not a ton happened this week.  One thing I did realize this week is that in every bad situation there is always silver lining.  This week our backpacks got stolen with all our scriptures and everything, which was kind of sad because I have 13 months in the mission now, so my scriptures were pretty marked up.  The good thing, though, was that we got to go to the temple visitor center and I got to go to the temple for the first time in my mission! It was so nice to see the temple after so long of not seeing it.  That is the nice thing about the mission is your desire to go to the temple really grows.  You learn so much more about the importance of the temple and I got really antsy sometimes thinking about not being able to got to the temple for a year and a half but really there is such a peace just to be on the temple grounds and feel all the peace that you can feel there.  

Also I learned a lot of humility because I had to start all over again in my scriptures but it was a good experience to study basic doctrines again.  Don't worry, though, we are completely safe though. 

I am working super hard on my Spanish because my dream job after the mission would be to work at the MTC and if that doesn't happen maybe the cupcake store at BYU, so at least I will get lots of yummy cupcakes.  

Anyway, more things that have happened this week... well, we spent most of the morning getting my visa renewed so I can stay here in Mexico.  Also, I don't think I will be able to sign up for my classes for BYU, so Mom & Dad, I will need you to do it.  I don't really care what classes they are, as long as they cover some of the classes that I need.  Also, if I could finish my classes as early as possible because I would rather have classes early and finish early too.  Especially on Monday because there is Family Home Evening.  Also if you can sign me up for intermediate tap dance and beginning guitar.  The other classes is just whatever generals I need and the beginning English classes.
