Week 1 & 2

 Week 1 and 2

Week one and two!!

I didn´t send an email for home mtc, but basically the gist of it was lots of zoom calls and hanging out with the fam. Saying goodbye at the airport wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be, probably because it was early in the morning. But i have felt it here in the CCM. I´ve only been here at the CCm for one week. Thats it one, and it feels like it's been a month, but at the same time it feels like its been 2 days. Time is crazy. 

My district is amazing! We´ve had a lot of crazy spiritual experiences together. I know that our district is inspired and we were put together for a reason. We all feel like we are struggling, but we know we can find strength in each other and struggle together.

My companion is Hermana White and I love her so much! We work so well together and we have grown so close in only a week.  

The food here isn't that bad, at least everything  is new so it all tastes actually pretty good. I haven't got the promised stomach issues or the runs, but it's probably just a matter of time.  

My classes are fun too! Im learning a lot and most days I go to bed with a headache, but it's good because that means I am learning. My Spanish teacher, Hermana pino is literally the cutest person ever. She puts up with 10 roughty 18 year olds and still manages to teach us some spanish. This week has been the hardest week of my life, but also the most inspirational week of my life. I have felt Godś love for me so purely. As we role play lessons, I've realized the messages I’m sharing with them, I need them too. A big theme throughout the week is faith. Faith in Jesus Christ and in the power he can bring into our lives. And to put that faith to work. 

I got to go to the temple this week it was awesome! I love the temple!!

God loves you and he wants what is best for you. All he wants is for you to turn to him, and turn to Jesus! God is so good and I feel unfair that my life is this good, but I owe it all to God!! 

Favorite scripture of the week: 

Mosiah 5:15

Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen.

Week 58

 This week we had a zone conference and it was truly amazing. I realized that people want and need this Gospel. If they can understand what it means to be baptized, there won´t be a single person who wouldn´t want to be baptized. It just depends if they can truly understand the doctrine. Understand that when we are baptized, the door to return back to Godś presence opens. The only way to start to access Godś power is through baptism. If the people can understand that the first step to living with their families for the eternities is by being baptized, they wouldn't have to fear it.  This week we got to put this into practice. We taught our friend Absalon about the importance of baptism and how his eternal progression relies on being baptized by someone that has the authority of God. He was a little concerned at first because he said, If I were to be baptized again, that means that it would invalidate the baptism that I already have had and all that I have experienced up until ...

Week 53

  This week was super eye opening. I learned so much about all aspects of life. First of all on Tuesday we left with Sister Trythall, the mission president’s wife. And it was so fun to see our area from a different perspective and to hear her testimony and feel her spirit. This week I felt super grateful for every little thing I’ve lived through. I’m super grateful for this time I have to be super focused in changing myself and helping others to change.  I also had some opportunities to have deep conversations this week with a few different people. The first one I had was with my companion. We talked about how sometimes we feel like we don’t feel the spirit as strongly or as drastic of a difference and the truth is that we are so connected spiritually that I realized it's normal. It's normal that people in the street feel the spirit strongly and they share the hard things they’ve gone through or what they’re going through right now after talking to them for 3 minutes. And that...

  My last week in Chile! The best week ever! This week I just soaked up everything! Every lesson, every street contact. especially Sunday. It was a super sweet and spiritual Sunday! I got to give my last testimony and wow it was hard for me, but I just felt so much love looking at all the people I love and have served with for so long. I am sad to leave but excited for the next part of my life!  Some highlights from this week! Ignacio got baptized and confirmed! The baptismal meeting was so spiritual and Ignacio shared his testimony at the end and he started crying! Afterward he said that the spirit was so strong during the whole entire baptismal service and it all exceeded his expectations! That is a lot coming from him because he is a very intelligent, calculated person, so the fact that the spirit was stronger and hit him harder than he thought was really special! Our friend Javiera saw us doing all the prep to get everything ready for Ignacios baptism and she asked us how ...
