Week 5: One more week at the CCM!

Our Dining room was all decorated for Chile's Independence day

Hola!!

I have 5 days left here and I'm so excited to be out in the field. The CCM has started to kind of feel like a prison and I can't wait to go to Vina. I'm a little nervous of course but mostly excited!! Im gonna miss everyone so much though. I've made some of the best friends of my life here and I'm so sad I have to leave them. 

FUTBOL: yes mom, we still play soccer everyday, but I don't know if I can say I'm getting better. Last week on Pday we had another CCM soccer tournament. The teams were by district and In the last 10 seconds of our game I scored a goal and it went right between the goalie´s legs! Probably one of the proudest moments of my life. I also have so many bruises. I really need some shin guards!!

Another funny story, a few nights ago the fire alarm started going off in the hospedaje (the building we live in) it was like 10:15 pm so everyone was in their pajamas and we didn´t know what to do so we were all kinda just standing around and trying to find the mission president and his wife to know what to do. No one knew if it was real and finally the CCM president's wife came out and turned it off and said it was a false alarm. The next day one of the Elders confessed that he was taking a really hot shower and opened up his door to let all the steam out and thats what made the alarm go off haha. It was sooooo funny. 

We watched this devotional by Elder Bednar called Character of Christ and it was AMAZING. Every other missionary probably knows what I'm talking about. But it was about turning outward like Christ instead of inward and it really hit me how much I need to work on my Christlike attributes. I have a long way to go before I have the Character of Christ but we all learn line upon line. 

I've adjusted to the food and I love it now. I think I just love meal times because its the only breaks we have. haha! I do have a Spanish set of scriptures and Im doing great health wise! Its stressful and hard here but I can´t wait to be a missionary out in the field!! 

I love you all! Good luck with everything! volleyball and band. And Matthew looks so good with glasses! Hermana Segovia said Aw your brother is sooo cute when I showed her the picture. haha! 

Con Mucho Amor
