HOLA FAMILIA!!
I seriously cannot believe it is already another Pday!! The weeks go SO fast here, its insane. days are very slow sometimes though. So this was my 4th week here in the CCM. it does get a little repetitive, but my district is so entertaining...you never know how a day is going to go haha i love them. we are like a family and they are all like my annoying little brothers.
SO last Sunday me and Hermana Cooper taught relief society, it is the only meeting we get to have in english. which is a HUGE blessing cause heaven knows my spanish isnt THAT good ;) but anyway, it was on the atonement and it was amazing. not because of hermana cooper and i, but because of the spirit. It was sooo strong and all 10 of us girls, in our zone, were balling our eyes out the whole time haha classic. but really it is amazing. We talked about talking on the "yoke of christ". Through Jesus Christ, our burdens can be lightened and we are assured through the spirit that everything is going to be okay! Such an awesome experience to grow and learn from other hermanas.
Since me and my comp. are sister training leaders, we go to go to the branch presidency meetings. It is for district leaders and zone leaders and us! The precidency talks to us and gives is the best advice. it gets me SO pumped to be the best missionary i can be! it awesome.
This week was my hardest week yet. I got discouraged and felt inadequate to be a missionary and learn this language. So i prayed one morning, asking heavenly father to help me know how i can improve and be more positive. Then when i got to class, we talked about the importance of fasting, sooooo you KNOW that was my answer! haha thank heavenly father. So that night i started my 24 hour fast. I started my fast with a prayer asking for an increased desire to learn the language and an increase desire of love for my companion. then started my fast. If you dont already know me....i get VERY grumpy when im hungry sooo wednesday was a rough day BUT I did it!! I have already felt heavenly help, helping me to be more positive about the language and my companion. Fasting is real, it works and it blesses us in so many ways! Try it sometime, would ya?
Yesterday we had our first TRC experience. Which is where real people, from the "outside" come volunteer and we teach them. Sometimes they are members, less actives and sometimes even investigators. We taught 2, 15 minute lessons. This is was supppper humbling experience and I now know that i really dont know spanish and i really need to stop being dumn and WORK HARDER! haha so im thankful that i was able to have that experience. We taught only members and they were super patient with our spanish. The room we were in was like infesttted with mesquitos hahahah so that was disgusting, but we made it through! Spanish is difficult for me, but its coming, i try to memorize one scripture and day..but that doesnt alway happen. BUT i have memorized the missionary objectivo y the baptismal invitation and the first vision! I love teaching the first vision cause it makes me feel like i know spanish. BUT anyhoo, spanish is fun.
I love being a missionary! I LOVE this gospel, it makes me so happy and i have felt a kind of peace i never knew existed. The love Dios y jesuscristo has for us is infinate and can chnage lives. i have felt my Savior helping me through this week. Continue to pray, read your scriptures and RELY on this gospel. It is everything.
