Hola! 

This week has been pretty chill but fun as well. It’s crazy to think we are on the 5^th week at the CCM and next week is our last week then we are headed to Salta! 

Spiritual: 

This week we have had so many good devotionals some of my favorite include. "Faith is not only trust in the Lord its trust in his Love"- President Uchtdorf

"Pray like everything depends on the Lord then work like everything depends on you"- President Eves. In one of my favorite devotionals we talked about Either 12. And we were all asked to memorize Either 12:6 in Spanish. It says, "And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things hoped for and not seen; wherefore dispute not because you know not, for you receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." I love this scripture I think it is so beautiful. I know this is true in my last email i was super stressed about Spanish and this week I have received multiple Spanish miracles. When we were working with those who are interested in the church I was able to share my testimony and help the person with their struggles in my very broken Spanish. After our practice lesson our instructor told me she felt the spirit so strong when I spoke and both of my companions where crying. I feel so blessed that I was able to have the gift of tongues during that lesson. 

Weather: 

MOM WE HAD OUR FIRST EARTH QUAKE! It was awesome! The earth didn’t crack open and we felt nothing but apparently it was a level 5 about an hour away from the CCM. WE did however have to evacuate the buildings and head out to the road where there are big green "safe circles". We also had a crazy storm the streets where flooded! my shoes disappeared in the roads it was like 5 inches deep! Perfect for a missionary swim haha jk. It was however really funny to watch people run and jump over large puddles in an attempt not to get wet. Other than that it is so beautiful here like a tropical paradise. 

Sports:

We have played so much volleyball its crazy. But my favorite sport is the weight room! I love the Olympic bar and squat rack! I also have been teaching yoga at 6am Saturday mornings and I guess the presidency at the CCM really likes how I run my yoga class she announced it during a devotional. lol. Our community Service was raking grass and putting it into a trailer. It was way fun! Dad! I stood on top of the grass and packed it down like how we do on the farm haha I was the only one haha and all the Elders where loading the piles in it felt like home on the farm!

Soaking up the good old grass!

Sister Trainers:

We have a district in our zone that is leaving and so the zone leaders and us made them a cute Piñata. Well the zone leaders bought all the supplies and we made it. It’s so cute we named him Buddy from the Movie Elf. We also decorated their room we can’t wait for them to see it! We were also asked to give a devotional to all the Sister Trainers. I think it want pretty well we talked about Attributes of Christ and how they all weave together like a tapestry. it was from the talk Becoming Disciples of Christ. 

Funny:

So, as a companionship we have a goal to follow all the rules closer and one of them is we are not allowed to eat in the class room and I really wanted to eat my Banana. So, my two companions sat in the doorway of the classroom and I sat in the hallway as we planned. I think exact obedience is great. I have also started a quote book where I write down all the funny things I hear throughout the week. Ex. Instructor Hermana Ochoa talking about how he is doing to a quencieñeta. "do you know what a quencinñta is?"... (us yes) "Well I hate them" it’s just funny with his broken English. 

Then one from today Elder Brown is showing us snacks in the Tindia and He pointing to some and says, " these ones aren’t bad, but I would never eat them again". IDK if these are as funny when you are not there but they sure where funny in the moment. 

Love you all,

CCM
