I hope you all had a great week!! I had a pretty good week here at the CCM and can't believe I'm leaving for Chile in T minus TWELVE DAYS people!!! I'm so excited but also terrified lol. The only thing I'm struggling with is the language.. I was having a break down the other day and a teacher basically told me the language I take from the CCM is super small compared to what I'm going to be learning in Chile so not to worry anyway... Yeah I didn't know whether to feel comforted or scared from that bit of information.
Not much has happened this week tbh!! I taught this super sweet lady at TRC yesterday night and she told me a lot about Chile and how weird their accents are and how the food is not spicy enough lol. I really like TRC because we get to teach real people and we aren't teaching our teachers and feeling evaluated for everything we are saying.. Which is what it will be like out in the field so that makes me so much more excited!!
Another thing I learn everyday out here is that this mission is not about/for me.. This mission is about the people Heavenly Father has prepared for me to bring unto Christ and about serving him!! It's really easy to get caught up in worrying about yourself out here and being concerned about the language and what you have to do instead of focusing on what truly matters which is the people you are going to teach and putting your faith in the Lord that he will help you bc let's be real here I could never do this by myself. Remember God wants you to turn outward to others and the natural man wants you to turn inward towards yourself. aka don't be selfish!!! that is my inspirational message for you this week.
well I love you all and hope you all are doing awesome!!! miss you all tons!
