Sister Lauren Brinton

Hello!!! Wowza!! The coolest week and a half of my life. Totally cant believe I've only been here for this short amount of time. I feel like I've been here for forever. The CCM is incredible!! The food is delicious, the people are so nice and the spirit is so strong. I am so grateful to be here to learn. I know this gospel is true and I am so grateful for what the Lord has given us. The first night I got here, around 7 pm , we had a devotional that just blew my little socks off. I could feel the spirit so strongly just arriving. When I put on my placa/badge on for the first time, I still felt like me, but I no joke felt like I could take on the world. After the devotional, I met my companion for the first time, Hermana Walmer. She is from California and the sweetest girl here that I know. I just love her to pieces. We have already helped each other so much and the Spirit is always so strong when we teach. It's so incredible!!! Just last night we taught a lesson on the law...
