LAST WEEK AT THE CCM!

Hola Y`all! 

I only have 3 more days until I leave the CCM and fly down to Paraguay and I could not be more excited! The CCM has been so fabulous, but I am definitely antsy to get down to my legit mission! I am so grateful for my district, comp, teachers, and all the other amazing missionaries I have met here! 

Highlights of the week:

4th of July! One of my absolute favorites! I was so afraid I would be missing the good ole US of A way too much, but luckily the CCM staff out did themselves! They had red, white, and blue tablecloths all over the comedor AND served BBQ, and pie, and root beer! We also all sang the Star Spangled Banner for all the latinos. They thought it was pretty funny all the pride we had. All the gringos were dressed up in red, white, and blue. It was incredible. 

We got to go to the Mexico City Temple again today! It is absolutely incredible. They truly have channeled their mayan pride into the construction of this temple. I am so grateful I was able to go throught it twice! 

We got to do intercambios with a gringo district this week. They are another tablet district so we got together with them. My amazing and diligent companion for the day was Hermana Jones (the cute one in the picture at the temple). She was incredible. We were teaching 5 lessons that day and she jumped right in! Her testimony is so incredible and she was an answer to my prayers. I am so grateful to have met another soul sister. Good thing she goes to BYU too! 

Our investigators have been incredible here at the CCM! Hma Bredeson and I set the record for our district by having 9 investigators and one less active. We also had the opportunity to teach the family of an area seventy and teach over skype. I love teaching and having the spirit with me. The spirit truly does all the work. 

I am so grateful for the time I have spent here at the CCM. I have made so many new friends (a lot of which go to BYU! woohoo!) and know that my last minute switch to this CCM was not an accident. It will be so hard to leave this spiritual cocoon on Monday, but I know that there are people in Paraguay that I need to go serve!

Thank you so much for all y`alls support! 

xoxo,
