¡Hola todos!
Well, this is it. Tomorrow I leave for El Salvador! Being here at El CCM
has been a great experience for me. I've learned and progressed so much! I feel
confident in my Spanish and I know that my testimony of the Gospel has
increased! Today, we had a district testimony meeting, and it was one of the
most spiritual experiences I've had while being here. Hearing each member of my
district share their testimonies was so powerful and inspiring! I'm so grateful
that I've been able to get to know my district and spend time with all of them.
I know that Heavenly Father brought all of us together to be here at this
specific time in order for us to learn and grow from each other. I'm super
stoked for all of us and the privilege we have to be servants and
representatives of the Lord and to bring His Restored Gospel and all of the
blessings that come from it to those who are searching for truth! I know that
we'll all be great missionaries, and that we'll continue to grow and progress as
we serve the Lord and the people in our missions with all our hearts, mights,
minds, and strengths!
I'm especially grateful for my teacher Hermano May. He is one of THE MOST Christlike people I've ever met! I've learned so much from him through his teaching and example! You can tell that he has the light of Christ with him! You can see it in his eyes! When he walks in the room, he always has a huge smile on his face, and you can feel the genuine love he has for every person he meets! He's so humble though that he would never say any of these things himself. I hope that I can be as great as he is! In fact, he told us, "I don't want you to be like me, I want you to be better than me!" One thing that he promised us from his own mission experience was that if we are exactly obedient we will all see miracles as we love the people and work hard! I swear, he is literally a Scripture Master! No matter what your question or concern is he has a scripture to answer it exactly! I know that he's a true, true friend and I'm glad I was able to be his student. I'm going to take his challenge and apply everything I've learned to become the best missionary I can be, and that the Lord expects me to be!
¡Levantate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!
Love,
