Goodbye CCM!

Presidente Juarez and my comps

So In field orientation was last Friday and it was a lot of info all in one day. I shared Lukes miracle story with all the missionaries and I am sooo grateful for miracles. It really was frustrating me because none of the missionaries were participating and I felt like it was a private class with the teachers and I. 

 

Our last day of class was very sad. I love our teachers so much and I am going to miss them. To bad I cant take them as pocket tutors. On our last day we had a vocab field trip with hermano Valdez and he taught us words and we taught him English words. Then we taught our investagator Pamela for the last time. We got her story from our teacher and I cant wait to find and convert Pamela´s in Orgeon.

We read those two talks I sent to you all this week. They were very inspiring and I am excited to apply the new knowledge that I have. And now I am going to be the fourth consecrated missionary! They are great talks not only for a missionary but for life in general, although they are directly applicable to the missionary. They are long but worth the read so just thought I would send them. Print em and read them whenever you have time.  We learned from some bad examples this week of the importance of obedience. I just feel bad for these elders that are not getting the vision. Remember that obedience is the first law of heaven. If we obey god has promised to bless us and God does not break promises.

 

Sunday was awesome! I got to play the opening and closing songs, our district sang ¨ill go where you want me to go for a special musical number, and our whole zone wore white ties, under the permission of presidente Alvarado of course. Dont think that will fly in the states... haha! It was a great day though.

 

 

Goodbyes to the district

 

 

 That night we said goodbye to elder chidester and pearson who had to wait 10 hours in Columbia for a layover. I will miss my district they are so great! That is when I figured out BYU lost as well. One of the polynesian elders who signed for UTAH said that BYU lost. Sad news huh! 

 

This morning Elder Kupferer left and we had I nice goodbye at 2 in the morning. then at 6 we went running with Elder Johnson from st. George around the track. I love running! I ran bare foot because my shoes were being washed so I could pack them away. It reminded me of running with Amber bare foot up in Orem. Good times in the CCM and I will miss this training center a lot. 

¨

I love the Book of Mormon you guys. It is just the best book out there! I could read it over and over and that is what I am going to do. I am in Helaman right now and Nephi and Lehi dont get the pat on the back they should. They converted 8000 blood thirsty lamanites, really quickly tooo! That might just top Ammon´s missionary success story! Immediatly after he converts them all the lamanites begin to be more righteous than the nephites. Well read some BOM and you will be uplifted and edified. Set aside some TIME cause that is really what you need to get a good lesson to help you in your life through this book.

 

Now it is just Elder Perrine and I. We are going to contact and convert loads of people at the airport tomorrow!
