Sunday morning I was sitting in my casa when I started thinking, "Wow, I don't really have anything to write in my email home" Heavenly Father was like "hmm lets change that". Later that day Hermana Page and I got pulled out from Relief Society and got extended a new calling. We are now the new Hermana Training leaders for our zone... definitely was not expecting that. But I know the Lord will bless us for our efforts, and it will be fun getting to know all the sisters in the zone, and meet the new missionaries each week (:
Last Wednesday we got to go to the temple for P-day (and we get to go today too) it was beautiful. The Mexico City Temple is the largest temple outside of the US. Its probably the nicest building in town, same with the CCM. The pictures on the walls were amazing, there was this one of Daniel in the Lions Den that just stood out to me. Daniel was praying to God with the lions surrounding him. Then behind him stood an angel keeping the lions calm so that Daniel could be protected and no harm would come to him. I loved this because it reminded me that Heavenly Father is watching over us at all times, keeping us safe as we serve the lord, and are obedient.
We had our first fast Sunday on the mission. We started our fast Saturday after lunch, then we broke it Sunday for lunch. Holy cow fasting for 24 hours is hard, I've never really done a full day before. But I am glad I did, it was honestly the best 24 hours in the CCM, the spirit was so strong and I felt like I was learning a ton of Spanish.
Grandma Cutler sent me this quote the first few days I was in the CMM:
"If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made — that you made — and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.”
I love this so much, it motivates me to make my bed first thing everyday. And every time I make my bed I think of grandma.
I always think "If God cant trust me to do the little things, then how can he trust me with the big things."
Remember everyday is a good day (:
Love you all so much

Word of the week: está bien (its okay) because you can literally say it after anything!
Spiritual moment: We as missionaries are not perfect, but we are worthy to wear His name, the perfect name.
