Dia 26? En serio? Dos semanas mas? Que en el mundo? Jk that does make sense in Spanish but all nordes enjoy to say it. Was this the best week orrrrrr what! Okay, Lets recap on the things i have learned from this week:

 1. Discouragement doesn’t come from God

2. Having a bedtime is hard. At home I would just stay up until I got everything done. Here, if its not done before 10:15, it just doesn’t get done.

3. Necesito mas atributos semejantes a los de Cristo

4. Espanol es dificil, pero es posible

5. I am discovering things about my self I never knew. I have large capacity to love, learn, and grow...... I also can eat ice cream with every meal and have no regrets.

6. I only learn Spanish when I know who is in charge... When I think I am learning Spanish by myself.... I get humbled real quick. Haha

This week was the hardest week here at the CCM. Spanish is hard. We had fish for like 3 meals. And I felt so discouraged. But lets refer back to point 1: DISCOURAGEMENT DOES NOT COME FROM GOD. I want to be the best missionary ever. My district (The celestial district) made some goals... we complained more often then we should have about how hard Spanish is...Don’t worry, we changed that real quick. NO COMPLAINING. I am a witness that the hardest trails bring the biggest blessing. This week was hard, pero we changed our mind set by being 100000 thankful all the time. This week turned out to be my favorite week yet! It is hard to explain.

The CCM feeds us so well. They fatten us up for the field. Tonight we get a chocolate fountain!! Because everyone leaves for their missions tomorrow! That means the Nordes get to go on a field trip outside the CCM! I can’t wait. Okay, No more letters to the CCM! In two weeks I am out of here and mail takes a real long time.

Ewwwwww we had a class on all the sickness we will encounter here in guate. I wanted to throw up when I saw all the infections. BUT IT’S OKAY BECAUSE I LOVE IT HERE. I love being a missionary. It is the greatest blessing of my life. I cant wait to share my joy.

Family: Soooooo read 3 Nephi together as a family.... EVERYNIGHT!!! I am studying 3 Nephi and we can study together (:

Also... the phrase "one by one" shows up in the book of Mormon only SIX times. I have found 4 of them! Can you find them? Don’t just Google it. Read the BOM and find them for yourself.

I LOVE EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT! GUATEMALA IS NUMBER ONE!

Stay truth to the faith,
