Hola familia y amigos !!!
this week is truly one for the records. Starting off i would love to hear how everyones holiday weekend went! Here in the CCM Dias de los Muretos was a party to remember! Not only did we get delicious mexican hot chocolate we got Pan de los Muertos!! And i definitely ate my weight in it! My district is the absoulte best and we dressed as men in black on friday and we looked pretty stylish! Although we heard the comment " wheres the funeral " more times that i am willing to count it was way worth it! Although we werent able to go out of the CCM to party it was loud enough for us to hear in our apartment all night long!
Spanish truly started making sense this week which is such a blessing! Although i am far from perfect, i feel alittle bit more confident!
And on sunday i was able to give my testimony in all spanish
and no notes!
Which might not have been the best for me because now i got to speak next week....
Which leads me to the next point its my last week in the CCM!!! Time has just absoultly flown by and its crazy but also im so excitied to get to cali!!
Im truly so excitied for this next chapter in the mission!!
Highlights:)
- steverson can break any apple in half!
- so much dead bread!!!
- mexico city temple gets better everytime we go!
- men in black fits are muy fuego
- we got a singular rainy day...yay!!!
- elder burns can do a head stand?
Spiritual thought!!!
A lot of time this week has been spent thinking about that one random turtle from over the hedge! Not saying my time is not focused on the lord, Dont worry i promise this makes sense! anyways Every devotional this week has been truly inspiring and most of them have been about Representing christ and his undying love for each of his Sheep! Obviously as a missionary i should constantly be striving to be christlike, but its Not always easy.
Similar to my mission, in over the Hedge the turtle is faced with many difficulties and decisions where he had to decided between the worldly needs, and what he truly needed! Each one of gods children will constantly be faced with similar problems, Letting their worldy probelms interfere with gods divine plan and Possibly changing their entire outcome to this plan!
Many times on my mission i will have to prove to myself that gods divine plan will lead me where i need to be. but i know that Everytime i doubt on my mission i can think back and reflect , is this wordly problem going to affect gods plan for me? And if it doesnt why should it interfere with my purpose as a missionary!
catch y'all next week *finger guns*
love you all so very much!!!
