Ultima Semana in the CMM
This week has flown by again just like the last one and it feels like it was just P Day yesterday. Everyday is full of great things and definitely feels like we're accomplishing a lot and learning a lot but the weeks just vanish. Spanish came a long way this week, especially grammar, and just overall with the whole District. We've been working really hard and it has shown. Still tons more to learn.
Still don't have my travel plans, but all I do know is that I should be in another country, in Argentina, early next week.
Here's the Highlight Reel of this week
-Always look and plan to serve everyday, Cada Dia.
-Elder Lyon and I practiced memorizing the first Vision together. Now we've got it down and that was fantabulous
-The lord loves you sometimes it's hard to remember that, but he does. he loves us and is ready with open arms for us. He loves you individually, sometimes it's hard to remember your value and that you're a loved child of God, but he's always there for you
-Elder Lyon "It's going to be tough... it's nothing we can't handle."
-Some stranger from Arlington hit me with a hacky sack in the hall this week
-Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy-Absolute Fire
-Pizza Time, was with the President this week.
-Choir, "If the Savior Stood Beside Me," it's always been one of my favorite songs and apparently the spirit even stronger in both Spanish and English.
-What a privilege it is to serve. We got to listen to an Elder Ballard devotional live from Provo. It's a marvelous message we have and these two years are going to be 2 years we can look back on and the road behind us for these two years, will be Holy Ground for us. Something to always remember and recall what a privilege it is to serve him.
-At this moment at any moment you have to challenge of being all that he wants you to be. These couple weeks in the MTC have not been easy but have been full of work. I know I don't feel fully prepared but I have my testimony. And I can can talk and listen enough in Spanish to at least share that. There will still be work to put in every day for the rest of your life not just the mission and I'm excited to keep working.
Now that we're about to leave of course I feel closer than ever with my companions Elder Jones and Siow, and my district as a whole. As a companionship we got to teach a couple lessons these past couple days and and we had struggled before to just to nail them down but these times we we were able to share simple truth simple messages through the spirit from what we knew in our hearts and and share effectively some lessons with those outside of the CCM and they went so well it's fantabulous. We have a loving Heavenly Father and that's something everyone should have the opportunity to know.
It's crazy to believe I've been here a month now and that I've only known this District these people my companions for a month we we are truly a family. The CCM it's like a weird time bubble I feel like I've spent months through even years here like like this is everything I've ever known just I've been here forever but at the same time every every day every week I realize how much time is passed and how the time is just flying by. I still remember so vividly showing up that first night and an awkwardly hugging Elder Siow, Elder Jones and Elder Supinger coming in with Elder Lyon, in our in our casa over the top of suitcases and just getting to meet them for the first time. They still feels like yesterday and then again that feels like this is everything I've ever known. I'm so excited to see you where this family goes well what they accomplish the people they meet than to hear the stories when they when they arrive home this is only the start of the world and it never ends.
Most of this was speach to text, lo siento
