Okay, really quickly, before every one has a heart attack, it wasn't me that got Bronchitis. One of the Elders in my district did, and the poor thing has been sick for the past week. No one else is showing symptoms so that's a huge plus! He is just starting to get better too, so hopefully in a couple days he'll be back to himself.
Yesterday, we had a Book of Mormon study as a district, and one of our Elders led it in Spanish and we all talked about Alma 5:6-7. If you haven't read Alma 5, DO IT. It's a self evaluation, and you can really learn a lot about yourself if you do it. I know I have! Anyway, we were talking about why its important to remember the struggles our ancestors had, and the things they went through. And I could feel the spirit testify to me that they went through all of those things so that we could understand that we aren't alone, and that other people have been through difficult things before us. In verse 7 it talks about how their hearts were changed, and it made me think about my own heart and how it's been changed so much just in the last couple of weeks. It made me think about the people that we're going to get to teach, and how their hearts will be changed and they will be able to come of a darkness they didn't even realize they were in. As missionaries, we get to bring light to the lives of those that have been looking for it, or didn't realize how badly they needed it until we present it to them. I am so excited to get to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord, and to share His gospel. I know it has brought me incredible joy, and I can't wait to share that with others.
Yesterday, our P-Day got switched because we had Immigration stuff today, which was totally a blast! But yesterday, we all had the most incredible experience. Our awesome maestra (teacher), Hermana Patiño had us watch a video, and then pretend the main character was our investigator. The man in the video had addictions, and had done some pretty bad stuff, but the spirit was so strong when we were all teaching each other. it was absolutely incredible. I am so grateful for all of the experiences I've had here at the CCM, and everyday, there are more and more experiences. Many times the spirit has testified to me that what the spirit is teaching through me is true. I can hardly wait to get out in the field and teach! I have already learned so much, and I have grown so much. I have been filled with a love for people I don't even know, and I can't wait to find them.

I love you all so much and I am so grateful for all of you!
