2 weeks left!

Sorry I missed last week, ran out of time. Sure it won't be the last time that I do either ... But! The clock is winding down for me here at the CCM! (Mexican for MTC) Every week on Sunday the presidency shows a goodbye slideshow to everyone with pictures of the districts leaving in a big auditorium. It's really simple, but is a nice goodbye for those who are headed out to the field that week. This week it felt pretty real to me, we have general conference next Sunday, which I'm super stoked for! Then it will be our turn to be the ones in the slideshow! I'm gonna miss the people I've come to know and love here, but I'm super excited to get to New Jersey at the same time! There are days here when we are teaching our "investigators" where the spirit is flowing strong and I feel like a champ, but there are also days where I go insane at the end of the day and just need to do something other than sit ... it's turned ugly. I'm almost done though! And as exciting as that can be, I still feel there is a lot to learn about the language before I head out, understanding the natives can be a real struggle, it'll come with time though. I'm grateful I'll be coming back to the states for sure though, being able to speak English half the time will be a blessing no doubt. 

Nothing too out of the ordinary has happened in the past two weeks, lots of class time and teaching each other and our mock investigators. It's actually super cool, I can't remember whether I've described it or not, but our teachers pretend to be people that they taught on their missions and we teach them. So far it's been nonmembers that they've been acting as, so we have to teach them everything right down the the basics of prayer, but this week one is going to be a less active and I'm pretty excited to see how that changes the dynamic of the teaching and how much more they'll be able to contribute. 

Having a lot of fun with the district, sometimes we have quite a bit of trouble focusing in the afternoon and especially at night. But we sit still pretty well in the morning so what more could they want! I sure am gonna miss these people once I head to New Jersey, 3 of them are coming with me, so I have that to look forward too! But I've definitely made some lifelong friends with these people between all the experiences we've shared here, all the stories we've told to one another, and all that we've learned together. 

District 12

I'm doing well down here and like I said, can't wait to get back into the states and start working! This gospel is so powerful and I know that it can help every single person on this Earth. Until next time!
