I've finally hit the hump of the CCM. We have an LA countdown in our room and we sing ´its the LA countdown´ after dropping some sick beats, then cross out a number. every. day. But as soon as one thing is going right we seem to find other problems. This week is some Catholic holiday so they light fireworks before every mass to celebrate the saints. The first mass starts at 5:30 am. Which is annoying. But wait there's more, there's a new mass like every 2 hours. Es no bueno. You said it perfectly, they don't appreciate my humor here, the struggle is real my friends. Jake and Michaela look great, First thing that came to mind when I saw those pictures is how I miss regular clothes. Do you still have that picture of Sophie and I howling together? Oh and do you remember what was said in my setting apart blessing? I don't remember much of it, it seemed pretty normal but everyone in my district said that they had like crazy revelation in their blessing. What's that about? Chispas my English has been getting so bad because I haven't been using it as much. I spelled jello as ´gellow´ at lunch. awkward. Tell everyone to send letters to LA if they want to talk to me there. I hear my email time gets waaaay cut once i'm in the field. So I had probably my favorite CCM experience a few nights ago in class. We have been talking about how to better discern others so we may know the needs of our investigators so I have been focusing on that during personal study. Anyway during our ´coaching´ with our teacher I was telling him how a few verses had been standing out to me, but not making any sense as to why. He looked at them and said ´Elder Wilson, these are some very powerful verses and urge you to try and understand "what the spirit is trying to teach you". That was a powerful experience in itself and then He Told me to pray and ask for 3 things I can do to better understand discernment. Which is pretty bold to ask, I feel, and bold of him to promise. But that's what missionaries do right? I ended up praying for at least an hour that night with no luck. Frustrated, I went to bed. Then during personal study the next day I remember the only thing that kept popping up in my mind the night before. D&C 42 v 82. Both talk about repentance. Me being the perfect being I think I am, thought there was nothing I need to repent of. Then quickly found myself thinking ´Oh crap not him, hate this guy´ as my district leader stood up to talk to us about how we aren't being focused. I ended up having a long talk with him and apologized and everything just in time. Just in time for the temple this morning (which was completely in Spanish i might add) And Had an amazing time. I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to and its absolutely amazing how much You can see the difference in your life just by asking God in all things and following the spirit. I cant remember where it is but I found a verse in D&C somewhere that reads ´ Look unto me in everything, doubt not, fear not.´ So awesome! Love and miss you all a ton! Adios!
