I can not believe I only have one week left in the CCM it goes by so fast! But I am soooo excited to get out in the mission field. I had the coolest experience this week that made me just want to be out in Minnesota already!
So on Saturday our Maestra brought some of her friends for us to teach and so they were real investigators. It was crazy and nerve racking but it was the best lessons I have taught here so far. The first girl we taught, her name was bety. She belongs to another church and believes she has power from god to work blessings. So a little weird. We taught her the restoration and applied it to her needs. She was really receptive and just awesome. I memorized the first vision in Espanol and so I recited it and bore my testimony and after that her eyes were weled up with tears.There is power in memorized scripture!!!! The spirit was so strong and I felt SO HAPPY. It was the best feeling to know I truly was acting as an instrument in gods hands. We get to teach her once more but she had to drive 6 hours just to come listen! I am so grateful Heavenly Father prepares people for us to teach and gives us these experiences! The other person we taught was Rodrigo and he was awesome too. Right now he is looking for a job so we taught him about prayer and that god loves him and things will be okay even if his situation isnt the best right now!
This week I had an amazing opportunity to be interviewed for the dedication video for the CCM. I feel so honored they would choose me to represent all the Sister Missionaries here. We had to talk about how we felt about being apart of Gods hastening his work and about how the CCM is making me a better missionary and also our most spiritual experience here. I didnt even cry! It was awesome and after my interview I felt so much spirit and like it was just what Heavenly Father wanted me to say. Right now I don't know whats happening with the video other than that it will be shown a the dedication in front of an apostle and it will be broadcasted through Mexico! But I will give you updates if I find anything else out. AH it was so exciting :)
Last Tuesday night we had a live devotional! Elder Venezuela from the quorum of the 70 came and talked to us. And the best part was that the whole thing was in Spanish!! It was so cool because I could understand pretty much everything he was saying, and I was so focused to try and get what he was saying in spanish that I got a ton of personal revelation. It was one of my favorites so far and I feel like it was a pat on the back from my Heavenly Father saying see your doing a good job. The spanish really is not easy to learn but im speaking it as much as possible and it is coming and I am seeing the Lords hand in my progress and when I teach!
Every week here I have picked a Christ like attribute to work on and this last week I fasted for the attribute I was working on which was charity and the gift of tongues and some other things. It was such a cool experience and I honestly have felt my charity grow here. I truly am becoming more and more converted to Christ and I am never going back!
The scriptures rock but ive already said that before. The last chapter in the book of nephi is pretty powerful and there are some amazing promises if we are righteous. I want you all to read and study that chapter because I got so much inspiration from it. When you read every time you like something or feel something stop and address it or talk about it. I love studying this way and I think it makes it mean more!
We listened to a talk from Richard G. Scott. it was really good. He talked about our communication with God. He said sometimes it is better to express out loud. And I love this because I know there is power in praying out loud and not just always keeping it in your thoughts. I also like another thing he said. He said, Take enough time to share your deepest feelings. I am really working on this because I know I always have my Saivor out here even when I have no one else! And it is so important we dont rush such a precious thing as communication with our father in heaven.
Well Fam, I hope all of you are enjoying the cold because I am enjoying the sun while I have it here. I love you all and am always thinking of you.
Have a great week and remember what is most important in this life!
I LOVE YOU
