I can’t believe I have been out on the mission for over a month!! So crazy how fast time goes by… and I will be leaving for Chile on Monday at 3:30 Utah time!! I just can’t believe I have been at the CCM for 6 weeks!!
This week was honestly the best week at the CCM!
On Saturday, we had TRC again and it was soooo good! We met
with this sweet lady, Pila. She was the biggest sweetheart. We shared a scripture
with her from Moroni 10:4-5 and she just started crying and just bore her
testimony of this Church and I was about to cry and then I bore my testimony
and she was just so sweet!! After I was just like can I please have a hug and I
just gave her the biggest hug. She makes me so excited to go serve in Chile! I
told everyone how cute she was like 20 times. This last Sunday was soooo
amazing. Before Sacrament started I asked my Presidente if I was speaking
because they just usually announce it right before... and he said I wasn’t so I
asked if I could... and he was so happy he was like we will change it right now
to you. I talked first about my experience here at the CCM and how much I have
learned and then my talk was about the priesthood! The spirit was so strong and
the gift of tongues was so real and after everyone told me how much they felt
the spirit when I was talking and I just started crying because everyone was
being so nice.
Hermana Pyatt and I were in charge of Book of Mormon study
on Wednesday and we shared the story from Alma 30 I believe. One question we
asked our District was reasons that make them excited to go serve the people of
their mission. I’m so excited to being serving the people of Chile and help
them in any way possible. We had such a good discussion as a District.
My experience at the CCM has been more then I could have
ever imagined. I have been blessed with some amazing teachers that have taught
me so much. Latinos are amazing people, they love me hahaha. On certain nights
after Devotionals, my District has such spiritual talks about what we learn and
I will never forget. Like Sunday night we had one after a Devotional and we
were all super emotional. I just remember my heart was literally burning with
the spirit.
Yesterday we had a second lesson with our investigator Luis
and it was my favorite lesson this whole time at the CCM. We were teaching him
about the Gospel and about faith... And he asked what faith is... he was just
super confused and wasn’t sure what faith really was... So I just opened right
up to Alma 32:21 and just bore my testimony to him and the spirit was soooo
strong!! And Hermana Pyatt and I were just talking about things we hadn’t
talked about and it was just amazing honestly! After the lesson we just gave
each other a big hug and I almost started crying! THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN
TEACHING WITH THE SPIRIT!!
I hope my letters make sense haha I just have so much to say
and never have enough time to say it. Thank you all for your love and support.
These have been some of the greatest weeks of my life at the CCM! I’ve met some
amazing people who will be lifelong friends!! My testimony has grown and grown
as well as my faith. I know this Gospel is the truest thing on this Earth. And
that our Heavenly Father wants the best for us each and every day and that our
Savior loves us sooo much. I’m so excited to get into the field and serve and
teach with my whole heart. So grateful to be a representative of Jesus Christ. I’m
off to the temple in an hour... MY favorite place!! God bless you all!
