October 31, 2014 - Last Week in the CCM

So this week I got my latino comp and his name is Élder Cedeño and he is from Ecuador.  This week has been pretty crazy hard with not knowing spanish but It has also been crazy amazing. Élder Lund was my comp (so the stockier one) and no he didn't get transferred into the field.  How it works is a group of North Americans come in and are comps with eachother for 4 weeks. Then for the last 2 we are comps with Latinos that come in and we all head into the field the same day which is Tuesday morning.

So yeah I go into the field Tuesday and in all honesty I'm super scared.  We went proselyting again and it was good but I couldn't understand much and I could say even less.  But I know I can do it because I am called to serve here.  So another thing that helped me to be motivated to be out here was one of the missionaries in our group got sent home.  He was really having a hard time so he prayed to get guidance and he was able to feel that he had things he needed to change in order to have the family he wanted in the future.  That was an amazing experience.  One of the Élders read a poem called Jesus felt it too or something like that.  It was pretty powerful.  The missionary that got sent home was one of my better friends out here in the field.  His personality is almost exactly like Will so it was pretty great to have him here but I know that he is going to do things the right way.

I think I am going to wait till in the field to do the dropbox thing because I am not sure if we can here and I don't have that much time to set one up so I will just wait a couple of days.  Everything sounds great at home!

Oh and mom I came up with some things that would be nice to get in a package but if its too difficult don't worry about it. I was just thinking pictures of family and friends would be nice and also mini pocket sized english hyms, and mini english and spanish childrens songs.  But the to ship out here is crazy expensive so if its too expensive don't worry about it. 

The Temple is my favorite part of the week and I am sad that I might not be able to go while in the field but keep going! There is a lot of work to do! 

Anyway I got to go but expect a few pictures! Love you All!
