2 weeks Down! Feb. 6, 2019

Well you heard correct its already been 2 weeks! just have 4 more till I'm finished in the CCM. I'll be honest -- I totally thought the CCM was going to be a cake walk, but boy was i wrong about that. I get more sleep here at night than i did back home, but i am so tired all of the time because from 6:30 in the morning till 10:30 at night we are always learning, moving, staying busy. So that was a big big shock to me lol, Mentally and spiritually it breaks you down, because you thought you knew but nope, you were wrong. 

We have listened to 3-4 MTC devotionals from Elders Holland, Bednar, and Stevenson. They were such powerful talks especially elder Holland. He loves the missionaries so much and he does not hold back anything because of his love for us. It's a really special experience to be set apart as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The spirit is more direct especially as we bear testimony of the gospel. i would invite you all to search ponder and pray to know how you can more effectively invite the spirit into your lives. Because i know that i have been so blessed in my life to know gospel truths. Because the gospel really does bless individuals and families and i am grateful for the experiences in my life that have prepared me for my mission. 

Today we got to go the temple which was an amazing experience as usual but this time was especially amazing and i am grateful for the spirit that I felt today. My companionship had our first lesson with a fake investigator (our teacher) but it was awesome, the spirit was strong and the Spanish was terrible haha. but it was an awesome experience to have. We put a lot of time and energy into the lesson and we still are waiting for feedback from our teacher. i cant wait to come home as a Returned Missionary it'll be awesome! I'm still getting used to email so bear with me because everything i wanted to say leaves my head when i sit down and start typing haha. Also i saw some scaffolding today so i thought I'd throw that in there for my old coworkers haha. Love you all and email you next Wednesday!
