Chile here I come!

 

     Hello everyone!! The most exciting news that I have this week is that I get to go directly to Santiago Chile!! March 4th is the day I will be flying out! I am beyond excited! When I heard that news I immediately said a prayer of gratitude! I know so many others don't have this opportunity yet, so I will continue to pray that all other missions open up for you guys!

  This was my first full week having all my classes be in Spanish. I’m happy with how much I am beginning to  understand! Speaking it is still a whole other beast, but I know that that will just come with time! This week we have been learning a lot of practical skills like how to receive direction, tell the time, and order food! Which is a huge comfort because now I feel like I could at least survive a spanish airport! Other than that it is just the same old story! Get up, class, study, devotional, study, class, sleep! I did have another TRC this week, and I was able to understand what was going on the whole time! And, I answered some of his questions in broken spanish! But spanish nonetheless!

   One scripture that I found this week that I have been pondering is Ephesians 4:12. It says, "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. I love all of the principles that this scripture teaches! I know that I shouldn't have favorites but the two attributes of Christ that I look up to the most is how kind and forgiving he was! It costs nothing to do either of these things, and sometimes you don't see the impact that they have. But I know that these two principles can change so many lifes for the better! I know that as we follow Christ's example we can find so much more happiness in this life! Each day all we have to do is just, "Try a little harder to be a little better"- Gordon B. Hinckley.
