Sundays

Hola!

So, today is Sunday,and I love Sundays! Not only because sometimes I get to take naps, but because they always involve uplifting experiences. I love going to Churh! It's so awesome. I love Sunday School and Relief Society, and I really appreciate that people take the time to prepare lessons for the rest of us. Thank you for all of you who teach us!

I also like Sundays because I get to talk to my family; well, I do that everyday, but on Sundays is more meaningful I guess. If there's something I really miss from home, is my family and all the things we do together on Sundays. We go to Church, we have lunch together... I loved all the conversations we had while eating; they were always so interesting. After that, we would do whatever, maybe taking a nap or reading scriptures, etc. THEN for dinner we would go to my Güely Angélica's home!! I love my Güely!! (btw. that means Grandma..haha) She is the coolest Güely EVER!!! We would watch Sunday(LDS)movies, FHE, and DINNER!! woot woot!! My Güely makes the most AMAZING homemade flour tortillas. OMG. to die for! And the scrambled eggs she makes.. haha soo good!! She makes them with a salsa, oh man. SO. GOOD.

Don't tell her, but when I was younger, I used to make fun of those LDS movies we watched together, and now if I start thinking about those moments, I start feeling homesick. It's so funny how when you're younger you take everything for granted, and now, I'd give everything I have to have those moments together again. I am SOO excited to go to Mexico!! I'll be there in 1 month and 5 days!! Woot!!

You know I'm all about music.. on Sundays I don't like to listen to the cliché sunday music, because it's not harmonically interesting to me. If you like it it's totally fine, it just doesn't really click with me. I like to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir of course, and I have my own Sunday classical music!! It's so awesome. haha... well, I think is awesome. Classical music is so powerful. It can communicate with your soul without words. It's just amazing.

Here are some examples of pieces that make me feel closer to God.

Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5
(This is the first part of the 2nd. movement)



Mahler Symphony No. 8 "Symphony of a thousand"
This is one of the most powerful endings I've ever heard!

I love the lyrics of the "Chorus Mysticus"
"All that passes away
Is only a likeness;
The inadequacy of earth
Here finds fulfilment;
The ineffable
Here is accomplished"



Liszt: Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude
Very spiritual piece.



Beethoven: Sonata op. 109
This is the 2nd mov.
