Hola familia y amigos.
It's so weird how fast these days are going by. I feel
like I just sent out last weeks email. But the ccm here is so amazing, the
spirit is so strong here and the people are the greatest! Honestly I cant
remember what is going on certain days because its the same routine every day
except for our progressing investigators. Its really hard sometimes to teach
people in Spanish but I know that the Lord is helping me through the whole
thing. I can feel the spirit so well when we are bearing testimony to them and
I know they can feel it too. Spanish is going great! I'm still so lost when
Peruvians are talking to me but i can understand bits and pieces which is nice.
I can't believe how far I've come in the language in only 3 weeks but I know its
because the gift of tongues.
Sunday was amazing this week. It was fast Sunday so it felt
super long but a lot of cool things were said. Sunday night we watched a
devotional by Elder Bednar and he talked about a question that a lot of people
ask him. How can I tell if its from the Spirit or its just me? He said to stop
worrying about it! If we are keeping our covenants and keeping the commandments
and just being good boys and girls then our paths will be guided and that was
so awesome for everyone to hear that. If we just press forward then everything
will go well. I know that's true and everyone just needs to make sure they are
doing those things.
Today at the temple we did it in English which was a really
nice not to have the headphones on. But the ccm president was the officiator
and he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I also got some cool pics
during the temple that I'm going to send a little later.
This week I have been reading in Helaman and the bravery and
courage all the prophets have really amaze me. Yesterday I was reading about
Samuel the Lamanite and how devoted he was to the Lord. I think I would be so
scared if people were trying to kill me but he just stood there and knew that
the Lord would protect him. I hope that I can gain that much faith during
my mission and throughout the rest of my life.
I'm so excited for everyone that's preparing for missions
right now especially Mason and Clay that already have their calls to come out
into the field. I'ts so great to always have the spirit and not worrying about
the outside world all day. Love you guys!
