Week #5

Hola amigos!

Super solid week again here at the CCM! This is our last week here and time has been flying by! We have been trying to get all the practice in we can and we only speak in Spanish now 24/7! We set a goal as district that for every word we speak in English is 5 push-ups or 10 sit ups! It's been keeping us mentally and physically strong! The teachers here at the CCM are super awesome also and have been helping us a ton in learning the language of Spanish and the Language of the spirit! 

My wrist is doin better too! This week we've been playing lots of Ultimo Frisbee during gym time and Elder Reza and I run a lot too! We leave the CCM for the airport at 2 in the morning on Wednesday! I will be tired but I can't wait to get to Fresno! 

I have a talk on Sunday during church on conversion so I've been working on that a bit. We also had some great devotionals from the CCM presidency! 

Not much else different here though, always busy, always working, always studying, and always enjoying our time! The CCM has been such an amazing experience an I've met a ton of awesome people that are so spiritually strong! I'm so glad I came out on a mission and even more glad I got to come to the best MTC  in the World! The spirit is amazing here and campus is so beautiful! I'll for sure miss the sounds of the city here (Constant honking, random mariachi music, police, dogs, and occasional gun shots) and the green mountains all around with lots of palm trees and super nice weather all the time.

My favorite Scripture this week is D&C 4! I memorized the whole thing en Español and recite it every night before I go to bed (Such a powerful chapter!)! 

1 He aquí, una obra maravillosa está a punto de aparecer entre los hijos de los hombres.

2 Por tanto, oh vosotros que os embarcáis en el servicio de Dios, mirad que le sirváis con todo vuestro corazón, alma, mente y fuerza, para que aparezcáis sin culpa ante Dios en el último día.

3 De modo que, si tenéis deseos de servir a Dios, sois llamados a la obra;

4 pues he aquí, el campo blanco está ya para la siega; y he aquí, quien mete su hoz con su fuerza atesora para sí, de modo que no perece, sino que trae salvación a su alma;

5 y fe, esperanza, caridad y amor, con la mira puesta únicamente en la gloria de Dios, lo califican para la obra.

6 Tened presente la fe, la virtud, el conocimiento, la templanza, la paciencia, la bondad fraternal, piedad, caridad, humildad, diligencia.

7 Pedid, y recibiréis; llamad, y se os abrirá. Amén.

Love you guys and have a solid week! (Enjoy school to those who have it!)
