First week complete!!

 

Hello everyone!

       Well, my first week here is complete now.  I feel it has been more than that though.  Everything has been great!! The schedule was very demanding the first 2 days.  The entire day is filled with the things to be done and the class to study and learn the Spanish and the gospel in Spanish also!   The MTC is everything people always says it is.  Full schedule every single day, lots of food to eat during the mealtimes, lots of to studying reading, and praying every day but I wouldnt want to be doing anything else.    93 acres of land dedicated to training the servants of the Lord to go out and to preach His gospel when that time comes for us all.  I actually forget every once in a while that I'm in Mexico because its always very well kept beautiful and I'm still around other Americans. Haha.  But the CCM, Centro de Capacitación de Misional, which is what it it called down here, is really awesome and already feel my testimony growing moreso because of the spirit that is here and how all currently 500 missionaries are all united in one purpose, and one purpose only, besides to learn spanish, and that is to testify everywhere and everytime that we know Jesus is the Christ and our Savior, and that this is His Gospel and it shall and will be brought to all the corners of the earth, to everyone in their own nation and tongue. 

I know that this is the truth, and families can be together forever and that we are all children from God, and he is our loving Heavenly Father.  I know the book of Mormon is true and that it is for us to read, learn from, apply to our lives, and to bring to others in these days.  It was written and meant for us and we must read from its sacred pages every day.  I know that Jesus Christ lives today.  After any of my family or myself or anyone leaves this earth, I know I will see them again.  This is the truth.  

Until next week, I miss you all but will be home soon (apparently time goes by really fast according to other missionaries so 2 short years)
