My Mind Feels Like Mush

Yes, I received my package here at the CCM and thank you so much for everything!!:). And yes everything was in it. It was kinda crazy cause I thought we were going to have to go to customs to pick it up but it just showed up here the next day! The Lord works miracles every day!! And OK that's good I'm not the worst son ever haha (referring to the email from last week). It's crazy, I've been out for month and have only 2 weeks left in the CCM. It's been awesome but I still need to learn a lot more Spanish... Also this last week has just been crazy cause we've been teaching our fake investigator and have been hammered with Spanish grammar. My mind feels like mush. But I guess it's like working out right? You have to tear the muscle fibers apart and break them down before you can get stronger. 

The one picture with me and my companion, haha I don't really know. We were just trying to be cool and I was dabbing with my flag so I thought that it was pretty sick.. haha:) But this week we got new Latino roommates and I'll send a pic!:) They are so cool. One of them is Elder Casares. He is going to Colorado for his mission once he gets his visa. He is the bigger one in the picture and is from Ecuador. The other elder is Elder Alvarado and he is from Peru and going to Ecuador! On a sad note one of the new Latinos went home yestarday so that was sad. But I am glad you liked my spiritual thought last week. We had a devotional yesterday that was entitled "How to stay out of Jail" haha it was funny but really cool. It also made me realize how important the white handbook is and all the rules are in there because of something a dumb missionary did... 

That is so true, look to the Lord in all thy thoughts and He will help you!!!:) Also thank you so much for your thought I will definitely remember those. Thank you so much! As for my thought this week, we had a member of the Seventy come and talk to us last week and he gave a really cool thought. There are four types of people who "go to the ocean" in life. The ones who go to the ocean and don't get in. The ones who surf on top of the water. The ones who snorkle and go just beneath the surface, then there are the Divers... We need to be like the divers in life in order to get better and grow. We need to discover new things for ourselves whether its deeper meaning in the scriptures, or our jobs, hobbies, wants, or life. We have to be like a diver and work and look for new things that will make us better. I love you and testify that as you go deeper and try your hardest, the Lord will help you learn and grow. Remember Alma 32:21 Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things. 

Love you and can't wait to hear back. Talk to you next week! 

Love you!!:)
