Friends- Week 4

Well, this week has been a blast!! So much exciting things are happening, I love teaching interested people here at the CCM and I am just so glad that I get to be here serving. I love the fact that my brother is serving his mission at the same time. Such a blessing for me and my family. I love hearing from all of you and just get so excited for all of your lives!! 

This week we had devotionals and meetings, classes and shopping at the tienda. For some reason we always find ourselves in the tienda buying a candy or something to get us through the afternoon class. Spanish is really coming along and I love being in lessons with people. The spirit is so strong and my companion and I are always bouncing off of each other and it is a really good system when we teach. I love it. 

My companion and I were heading home one night this week and saw that an older man had a lot of groceries in the back of his car, so I asked my companion if he wanted to help and hesitantly he said yes. I thought to myself. YESSSS!! I love serving others and it makes me feel so good when others are in need of help and God puts me right in their path to help them. 

I know that this work is so true and it really makes a difference in your life as you strive to listen to the words of the prophets and as you strive to understand and read the Book of Mormon. 

I love my family and know that they have had such an impact on my life. Without them I know for a fact that I wouldn't be where I am today. So a really big shout out to all of them. My two younger sisters, my older brothers, and my parents. What a blessing they have been in my life. 

You all are amazing and I can't wait to hear from you all! Keep me updated on your exciting lives and fun adventures.
