Week 3: CCM

Last week our service was delivering the water jugs around campus!!! I impressed the elders by using my super strong arm muscles, and carrying two at a time! What can I say, I work out! ;) Only because it´s required, but whatevs.

I am known by my compañera, as the Virus Queen. (2 in one week!!!!) I am seriously so grateful for blessings! Elder Walker, Elder Busan, and Elder Bunch gave me a blessing for the sick on Monday!!! I am so grateful! I was better by the next day!!! Priesthood blessings are amazing!!!!

Yesterday the Comedor served churros as long as my arm!!!!! They. Were. Amazing. Seriously!!!! Stef, you would have totally been jealous!

My Spanish is coming along. I taught most of a lesson without having to ask my companion to help me out!!! I also bore my testimony to one of our three investigators without messing up!!!!!! 

Today I rocked at Zone Sports Day. (Not to brag or anything...) Totally kidding. Although, I got to play tennis against some of the elders, and it was awesome!!! 

This week as been jam packed with español and learning more about the gospel!!! It has been so great!!!

Here are some awesome quotes from devotionals and relief society this week:

"We can feel joy in all trials, when we are His disciples" -Hermana Gill (R.S.)

"Get of the way-be ready and worthy to represent Him. This work is not about YOU!" -Elder Bednar (Devotional)

I love you all! I encourage you to pray every single day this week. Prayer has become so important in my life!!! Also read the Book of Mormon every single day, even if it is only for a few minutes. I have grown so much reading the Book of Mormon and praying about the things that I read!!! I promise that your testimony will be strengthened, and you will receive confirmation that the Book of Mormon is true. You will also come to know your Savior even more as you read this book!!!

I want to share a couple more spiritual things that I learned this past week.

"The Lord, whom, you represent and serve, knows you can do this. With His help and with His strength we can do this!!" - Elder Bednar

This week, I learned how to tell my companion that I love her. In a talk given by Jorge Salívar (Area 70), he said, "Learn to express love to your companion. It is an extension of your love for Christ". I said the three word phrase to my whole district that night as well. I have been blessed to make so many friends that are almost all going to Las Vegas with me!!! I know that these Elders and Hermana´s are going to be unstoppable forces of the Lord´s work!!!

""Hard" can be BETTER. It is worth it. If something is hard, you can make the decision to change your attitude." (Jorge Salívar)

"The Savior, Jesus Christ, should be reflected on your countenance". (Jorge Salívar)

This has been a great week for building up my testimony!!! The Lord is so involved in my life! I learn so much everything day! I love you all!!
