Week 4: CCM

 Second to last Email from Mexico!!!!

This week I had the opportunity to have two "solo español" days!!!! I was so blessed by my Heavenly Father!!! I was able to communicate and understand español throughout the day!!!! Yesterday I read a chapter in PMG/PME, in Español and I understood almost all of it!!!! I have fallen in love with this language, and I love learning it!!!

During one of our lessons this week I received a strong prompting from the Holy Ghost. We abandoned our original lesson, and we taught our investigator about the law of the fast. It was amazing, to not only teach it, but also commit him to fast with us next Sunday!!! I know that it is only through the Holy Ghost that we can teach, I am so grateful for his guidance!!!

Today is our zone "Foosball Word Cup", my companion and I are Team Australia!!!! We may or may not be totally awesome at foosball.... Also yesterday at gym I practiced riding a bike in a skirt. I´m a pro!!!!! ;)

Here are some inspiring notes from some of the meetings that I´ve attended this week:

• "Prepare and plan. You will be able to do this, remember, you are not alone. When you are struggling remember Nefi´s missionary affirmation "I will go. I will do." (1 Nefi 3:7) Hermana Brown Relief Society
• "Do not doubt what you have seen with spiritual eyes." "Don´t doubt the Lord´s power to give you something better!" Bishop Shawn Cates (CCM Coordinating Director)
• "Invite in the right way! Invite and teach EVERY child of God" "Go serve the Lord with all your hear, mind, and soul!" "Be able to say, "YES! I BELIEVE"" -Elder Arnulfo (1st Quorum of the 70)

I am so in love with the Book of Mormon!!!!!! I love the hour I have to study it for personal study every day!! This week I read in 2 Nefi, my favorite is the prophecy of Christ in capitulo 25. I believe in Christ, I love Him, and every day I try to be more like Him!! I know that He is our Savior, He knows each one of us, and He wants us to follow Him! I also read in Jacob, capitulo 5 is amazing. (41) "The Lord of the vineyard wept, and said unto the servant, "What could I have done more for my vineyard?"" I have the opportunity to work in His vineyard! I am so blessed to have been raised in the Gospel! I know it changes lives, I know it is true, and I know that the only way we can return to our Heavenly Father is through following the example of Christ. I hope to one day have the faith of the Brother of Jared (read Ether)!!! 

I love you all!!!!! This week try to read the story of the Brother of Jared in Ether! I just read it again, and I learned so much! I love his example of faith and dedication to the Lord! Pray every single day! The Lord wants to hear from you! He loves you!
