Hit week 4!


hello family and friends! 
i have hit week 4!!!! 
i have not a lot of time to write..again so if you don't get a personal email this week i am very sorry! keep on writing please and as soon as i get to the field i will write more and i have been sending letters i hope will get you all of you soon! 

the ccm life is the best. i am not going to lie this has been the best week i have had here yet the very hardest week as well! 

i am so happy for you sissy! representing at two proms this year woot woot. also good luck to both alex and erin running for stuco! you are all in my prayers every night! 

tuesday last week
after i emailed we went to this yummy burger place. we also had this encounter with a crazy russian who i am pretty sure was carrying a weapon... mom please dont worry we are all fine. it was more hilarious than scary bc he gave us this crazy story about how russia is going to blow up chile and we need to help him send a letter to the us ambassador so we all dont blow up..it was crazy and he didnt speak english or spanish so it was a lot of hand motions all in all the security gurds at the temple came and got him. 
also the best part of tuesday was that night hna doll made us cookies and we had ice cream! president doll gave us a little fhe in our family room after classes at like 10 pm. it was so nice to have a family setting once again. 
also study the difference between disappointment and discouragement! 

wednesday 
i saw hermana doll crying she was feeling super overwhelmed with all the new missionaries coming that day. it made me realize that we are all human bc i always thought that she was super women she is amazing!!! so i helped her out before class. she really has made my ccm experience amazing. i love her so much.
we also got new missionaries which was hard bc i miss our old latinos but they are a good group 
i scored a goal in our last grengo soccer game!!!!!! highlight of my week! in between getting latinos we play hardcore grengo ball either way its fun but i wish i was good oh well! its so fun!! 
thursday
we had a teacher name ruitor and it was his last time teaching us so he told us the real story about our invetigator we have been teaching. it was a girl named maybel and it was on a day when he didnt really feel adequate so be a missionary and there she was a 60 year old little lady just ready for the gospel!  the spirit was so strong and as he walked out the door he said forget yourself and go to work! 

i am skipping to sat and sunday bc they were the best days so far! and i am running out of time lolz. 
saturday i started a 24 hour fast and i literally thought i wasnt going to make it bc i have been super sick with a sore throat cold thing going on but i did it! saturday night instead of having class we were able to watch the district...which is a huge deal when we get to watch a few hours of movies instead of teaching! after we watched it out district leader stood up and bore his testimony and asked us all to share what it took for us to get out here... and what we left behind at home. each of shared our experiences and even just writing this i feel the same spirit i did on saturday night. we eneded by singing god be with you till we meet again. all in all saturday was the best day i have had here thus far. 
on sat we also played kickbase  (kickball) with the latinos and pres and hermana doll! i love it so much! 
oh and we got chocolate milk..huge bonus. 
oh and we got to talk to the people on the temple grounds!!! 
also we read the bom as a district on the temple grounds that afternoon, read alma 32 this week!
now for sunday 
i taught a lesson in spanish for relief society! i have never taught let alone in spanish for 15 min! i was so happy! it was on hope and faith!! 
also the members in my district decided to give me a blessing sunday night bc i am still not getting better! another huge spiritual night here at the ccm! i am still not 100 but i am not getting any worse which is good! 

yesterday we went to the temple and it was the best experience i have had at the temple. my heart and mind were in the right place and i just felt so at peace! 
i love the temple! 
i met a man outside with my companera last night and we taught him with his kids. he reminded me of you dad and it made me miss you so much! he spoke english and spanish and was laughing so hard bc i used embarazado which means pregnant in spanish....yikes. but i am learning!!! 

also read 2 nephi 2 this week!

well i am out of time! i love all of you so much! thank you for your prayers and support! keep praying for me to learn spanish! 
i love you all to the moon and back!!!
