como esta? estoy muy
cansado hoy... La CCM es muy deficil. Me compañero es beuno, im kiddign but i
could go on and on in spanish. Thats all we speak lately. We committed Emilice
to baptism and she said she would be baptized on the 21 of September. But guess
what............. She is a teacher here at the MTC and she speaks perfect
english i had no clue. The day after we invited her to be baptized she came
into our classroom and gave us an evaluation about how we did and she said that
she felt the spirit so strong when my companion and i were teaching. We got 2
new investigators Yesterday:)
My zone and district
are sooo cool. I love all of them. The food here is actually pretty decent. I’ve
gained 20 lbs i now weigh 172 lbs of pure muscle. I look like a model. No lie.
Kidding, we play volleyball everyday for PE I love it (sorry small tangent). Let
me tell you about the investigators we have now.
The first ones name
is Breiden Valencia, he was born in Mexico, in the city of Heramocio and he is
studying at the UVU. He works at a music shop, he plays the guitar the piano
the violin and is studying music at UVU. He is 21 years old and has a
girlfriend that is pregnant with his child....(law of chastity will be taught don’t
you worry). Our first lesson with him was yesterday and he was texting the
whole time, and wouldn’t give us the time of day. So, I kept asking him questions
to keep him interested, but he would give me 2-3 word answers in spanish that I
barely understood it was a tough lesson we said he had to go 10 minutes into
our lesson and that he wanted us to leave so i shared my testimony and he look
right into my eyes and said thank you so much... I asked him if we could come
back on wednesday and he said we could!!!! So stoked. He will be baptized I
promise you.
Our second
investigators name is Natividad. She is 35 she has 3 kids all teenagers. She is
a super nice lady, but her spanish is so fast and she is a little white girl
that reminds me of a princess. I feel like she has never said or done anything
bad in her life. She’s suuuuper nice holy cow. But the girl she is pretending
to be is super shy and is always tired and it makes it super hard to get her to
talk or do anything. I just talk and tell her about how much I suck at spanish
and she just laughs. I can talk for like 45 minutes straight only in spanish I’m
so awesome holy crap, kidding kidding no but seriously.
My testimony has
grown 10 fold since I’ve been here at the CCM. I mean MTC. I thought I knew a
lot about the gospel until i got to here. I Know NOTHING but I learn so much
everyday. Today we talked about how to receive revelation and I got theeee crazziest
answer ever about my question. My question was "how can I know if I am
truly happy in this life, and how can I share this with other people and have
them believe me....
My Answer came in a
rather weird way I prayed for like 30 minutes straight and I opened my eyes and
I just had this totally sleepy relaxation and sense of peace that I’ve never
had before... I haven’t really decided what it means but it gave me such a
peace of mind and that feeling i got was just shouldn’t worry about it. The
feeling that everything will be all right, and I just need to keep being
obedient and listening to the promptings of the spirit.
Family and friends I
just want to testify. yo se que neustro padre celestial es real, el jesu
christo es la salvador por mi y ustedes. yo se que la expiacion es verdadero.
jose smith es una profeta verdadero tambien. yo se que familias es eternas. yo
tengo mucho amor por mi padre celestial. en el nombre de jesus christo
amen.
Please write me and
send me stuff I love you all like you could never believe. La iglesia es
verdadero.
