Week 3 at CCM

Only 2 more PDAYS! I'm learning a lot.  I'm still horrible at Spanish, but when me and my companion tried to give a lesson in English, we got so confused so we decided to keep speaking Spanish.  There is so much to say in English! And in Spanish you are forced to stick to the basics because that's all you know! But to be honest, I have learned more about being a missionary and what we need to DO, instead of the language.  They really dont focus on that.  It's like the last resort type thing.  But it works because since everyone here is Latino you speak spanish alot, and we have Solo Español days. 
      Choir is fun! My teacher won't let us out early so we were late and it was super embarrassing pero esta bien.  We had a really cool devotional by Elder holland, not him in person though, he speaks with so much conviction and passion!  He was like yelling and by the end of it, the spirit was sooo strong and literally me and my comp were BALLING!  The hardest I have ever cried since being here.  The entire auditorium was just sobbing...it was insane.  

We get to go to the Mexico City Temple open house next week! So totally pumped!

FYI, I can receive packages and mail via mtcmexicocarepackage.com.  It just makes it easier.  Mexican mail system is famous for being horrible.

     This week has been good though. It's all the same schedule, so not much new to tell. We had our first TRC which is where we teach a real lesson, with either a member, investigator, or less active.  We got a member. Her name is Alisa and she's 15 and so cute! We had a really good lesson about the importance of families en el plan de Dios.  It was a really cool experience.   Also, they have these chips called Habañero Sabrita.  They are the Spanish versions of Lays I think....SO SPICY!!!  It's insane...but really good.  I have had to memorize so many scriptures in Spanish.  Lets see what else...um...I picked my mission scripture- tell me what you think!  It's Alma 26:15 "Yea, they were encircled about with everlasting darkness and destruction; but behold, he has brought them into his everlasting light, yea into everlasting salvation; and they are encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love; yea, and we have been instruments in his hands of doing this great and marvelous work."  I came across this in my personal scripture study and love it!  It's missionary work. It's when Ammon and his brethen convert   hundreds of Lamanites, and its cool because I'll be teaching the descendants of the Lamanites as well :)  Well other than that...I guess I don't have much else to mention.  The MTC is hard, but we are constantly getting better at  what we do.  Can't wait to get out into the field!  But I will miss it here at the CCM as well.
