Fair warning this email is a little crazy, haha.
Monday was pretty good! I helped my family with a taco fundraiser at Providence Hall truly getting into the serving spirit. Classes were nothing special, just lots of espanol and learning about my missionary purpose a little bit more, as well as just preaching my gospel basic lessons and helping for the mission
Tuesday- oh my goodness today was so crazy my whole District kind of was a little bit tired so the energy was a little bit low but I know the spirit was still there with us and we were able to get what we needed to get done. Then we had a helping others experience where we taught a volunteer, me and my companion Hermana Leary did so good. We were able to teach about Joseph Smith and the restoration. Something that stood out to me was the volunteer who was helping us, he had another group of missionaries tell him about how we shouldn't say Joseph Smith WAS a prophet because he IS still a prophet because we believe in the other side of the veil. I thought that was interesting and I hadn't thought about that before. That was really cool and to hear about his life was so cool and I'm so excited to continue to hear about other people's lives as I go serve the people of California. Tomorrow is my last day of Home MTC woot woot!!!
Saturday
I don't know what happened to the rest of the week…. I made it to the CCM -(MTC) wooot woot. The trip wasn't too bad and we made it without any problems. Also shout out to Hermana Barlow from Snow Lodge apartment 10. I got to travel with her to the CCM which was so amazing and so awesome to talk with her. I love my roomies. We only have two other girls that are in our apartment that are not in our district! But it has been so good. The last few days have flown by, but also it's only been a week!! I have had a lot of meetings and devotionals and lots and lots of sitting for long amounts of time and running to our next place. But everything had just been amazing and I can't wait to spend 4 more weeks here.
Sunday! You would not believe it but I did not eat ice cream on Sunday!!! This Sunday was Fast Sunday and everyone was asked to do a 24 hour fast. It was less of an ask and more mandatory since the commador was closed for breakfast and lunch. But still the fast was so worth it, sadly when I got to dinner the ice cream they had was all melted and not delicious. But we will try again next week! Testimony meeting in spanish is surprisingly not as scary and confusing as you would think ! Haha.
Monday night(10/14) I am so excitied for P-Day. And to talk to my family and to share this second email. Holy cow the gift of tongues is so so real. the difference that I have been able to see in my life and speak more espanol has been absolutely crazy, haha. I know that as I continue to spend the next few weeks here in the CCM that my testimony will only continue to grow and I will be able to share my testimony confidently with the people California.
Tuesday Today we are headed to the Mexico City Temple!! Its about an hour away from the CCM so it was cool to get out and see Mexico a little, traffic is always crazy but Mexico is so pretty!!! THE TEMPLE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO PEACEFUL! Even though I was confused because of Spanish, the spirit was so strong!
I miss you all at home and I miss hearing your voices and talking to you all but I do know that this is probably the best place on the Earth, because the spirit is so so strong. there's nothing else to it.
Besides, it is so perfect anyways. I don't really know what to say so much has happened and it has been so crazy here. But if you have any questions and you would like to talk please email me. I would love to talk to you guys and to hear how your lives are going!!!
