Week 2: CCM

First off, I did my own laundry last week!!! Whuuut! It was exciting, and i also got a work out, trying to avoid the mouse that lives in our laundry room. (Mickey, as my compañera calls him).

I taught a lesson about faith and perfection through Christ, and I bore my testimony....I was able to speak without using my note cards, and I felt the Spirit so strong.

Three talks that had a huge impact on my life this week, come from the 2014 April General Conference. I encourage yáll to reread/listen to "Your Four Minutes", "Bear up their Burdens with ease" and "Love-The Essence of the Gospel".

The 4th of July was amazing. The comedor fed us traditional BBQ, apple pie, and CORN! Also I shared my calorie free, sugar free patriotic cookies of awesome with the four Hermanas! Thanks mom!

I have now official mastered not only the missionary purpose, but also the invitation for baptism AND the First Vision, ALL in Spanish!

I finished off my journal. I´ve written in this journal throughout my conversion. A quote from before I left for my mission, "The Lord has softened my hear, and strengthened my faith. My tiny testimony has taken roots in my heart, and I know that it is strong enough to endure the trials that I will face".

Fast Sunday brought miracles! I said the prayer in sacrament meeting AND I bore my testimony to the Branch. Some of the Hermana´s afterward told me that I spoke as fluently as a native as I bore my testimony about my Savior Jesus Christ!!! I also wrote an entire letter in Spanish to my Branch President. I feel the Lord helping me through this! I am so blessed and grateful.

Haz Lo Justo: Choose the right en Español!!! 

TRC-I got to teach an actual investigator! It was an amazing experience for both me and my companion. 

I have felt the spirit every single day. I also got to go to the Mexico City Visitors Center today! It was amazing!!!! It just reinforced my desire and excitement to go an serve!!

"You CANNOT go back. If you turn your back on Christ, you will break your Heavenly Father´s heart¨" -Jeffery R. Holland. I love this apostle of the Lord. His words speak to my heart. I know that this is God´s work. I know that this is HIS will. I cannot come home from my mission without doing EVERYTHING I can to bring His children to Christ. The Atonement is amazing, it is real, and I have felt the healing power of repentance. 

I hope that this week yáll will remember to follow Christ. Pray everyday! The Lord can and will help you, you just need to ask!!! I love you all!

Besos!
