So this is my last week here in the CCM. I leave for the mission home Monday morning and start my time in the field. The CCM has been a huge blessing to help prepare me for the field. My Spanish is pretty solid and I feel good about the lessons. But I do know the that field is going to throw me around the first month or two so im pretty excited about that.
Its been a pretty cool week. On Sunday my District was in charge of doing Sacrament for the people who make the food here and I was in charge to lead the service. That was pretty cool experience, it was all in spanish. I understood everything i said but im not sure if the people did haha but its all good cause im learning :) Also i had to give a talk on Sunday, all in spanish as well. It actually went really good, really awesome experience. So I forgot to tell you guys but ive been singing in the CCM choir these past couple of weeks. All the songs we sing are in Spanish and we sing before devotionals on Tuesdays. Ive sang the past two weeks with the choir so im sorta of a big deal around here haha jk Im terrible at singing but hey its a lot of fun :) So crazy things happened to my pants this week. First on Friday i sat in a chair weird and they just ripped down the middle. It was during studying time and all the guys in my district were laughing so hard. Then on Tuesday i was in the bathroom with some guys in my district to wash my hands. The soup container looked weird but i decided to use it any way and when i pushed on it....it fell over a shot soup all over my pants. Of course once again all the guys in my district were there to see it happen haha I guess the learning experience from that is..well im not really sure yet but hey hopefully it helped make some other peoples day better because they were able to get a good laugh in :) But its all good, I didn't mind it!
One thing ive learned this week is that our Heavenly Father loves us so much. He truly does know us personally and wants the best for us. Also how by praying to Him and reading your scriptures everyday you truly do put on the armor of God and are blessed with the Spirit through the day. Its crazy how something so simple as saying your prayers and reading your scriptures can make that huge of a difference.
Im so grateful for the opportunity i have to serve and to be called to serve here in Mexico. I know this Church is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet called of God. Also that the Book of Mormon are the words of Holy prophets and that it testify of Christ. Pretty sweet and humbling blessings to have this church in my life. I love you all so much and thanks for all your support :)
Love,
