LAST WEEK IN THE CCM YAAAAAAAAY! I´ve got 7 more days here
and then I am officially out in the field. I´m definitely not ready for it (in
regards to Spanish) but I´m super excited! This week we get to go out on splits
with missionaries in the area so that will be a fun practice. My Spanish is
definitely a lot better than it was when I got here and, while its still not
great, I know that the best way for me to learn will be out in the field so I´m
excited for that. Also I´m so excited to finally get to go share the gospel
with real investigators!!
So last Saturday we had a ¨solo Español¨ day where we all
only spoke in Spanish from breakfast to dinner. Every time someone said a word
in English they got a tally mark and we gave punishments to them that night.
Lets just say it was a pretty quiet day for District 7 haha. In one of our
lessons that day we were talking to our investigator about his family and he
asked my compañera if she had any kids and she she tried to say ¨no but I love
my nieces¨and instead of the Spanish word for niece she said ¨novios¨ which
means ¨boyfriends¨. We were all laughing so hard at her!
Every Sunday we watch devotionals and this week we watched
one by Elder Bednar and it was amazing. He talked about how the character of
Christ is to turn out in love when others would turn in and it was kind of
about being selfless and always caring for others before yourself and it really
motivated me to try to be more selfless and to strive harder to serve those
around me every day with everything I have because that's exacty what the
mission is. It's putting yourself completely aside for a while so that you can
serve others in love and help them find joy and peace in this life and even
more in the life to come. I know that as I stive to do this God will help me,
and with his help there is no way I can fail. Thank you all for your support
and your prayers I love you all!
Love Hermana Wittwer
