My Mission- Week 1

My first week as a missionary started off crazy by missing my flight. Aww yeah guys! I only really have myself to blame I misread the departing time and I spent too much time saying goodbye to my family. But in a way it was nice because I had a whole extra night to be with my family. I even got to sing to the girls one last time! 

Next I got to the CCM or MTC (whatever you prefer) and found out I was the only new american sister missionary coming in. So that means for probably the entire time I'm here at the CCM I won't have a companion. But I do have a companion. Espiritu Santo es mi companero. At least that's what I say when people ask where my companion is. 

Although now I'm pretty well known. I'm the sister without a companion, the only sister in her district, and the sister who lost her luggage. So to say the least it's been crazy. But now that it's been a week I'm finally settling down. My luggage got to me yesterday, I hang out with my roomies a lot who are in a different district, and the elders in my district are all really fun and nice to me. One of the presidents here says I'm their reyna. Queen! Woo!

Now for some spiritualness. I've cried several times in the past week due to my great Judd gift of crying when the spirit is felt. But all of the experiences have been really cool. My spanish learning is coming a long but as you can imagine it's still hard learning a new language. I'm kind of struggling remembering words and such but then one day during language study a thought came to me. The Holy Ghost brings ALL things to our rememberance. And that just brought such a wave of peace, comfort, and relief and since then I haven't struggled as much at remembering words. I know the spirit is there and he can help us in everything! 

Well my writing time is up. But I love you guys! Till next week!
