Well, the time
has come to finally leave the CCM. I have exactly five days left before I leave
to report to the Texas Houston South Mission. I am so very excited. I know that
this gospel is true and I want to share that knowledge with others because I
know how much happiness it can bring to their lives.
As a great
send off gift many of us have been very sick here. My entire district hasn't
been together for more than 5 hours this week which is very sad since we will
be leaving one another in just a few short days. A scripture that describes us
very well right now is, 1 Corinthians 11:30, "Many are weak and sickly
among you, and many sleep." Thankfully I was never as sick as the Elders
in my District but I was told by the Doctor here at the CCM to go and rest on
Monday so that I could kick this stomach virus more quickly. My rest became
two, 3 hour naps. I was also given a Priesthood blessing by two of the Elders
who were feeling alright that day. I can testify of the power of Priesthood
blessings. There is no way that I could have gotten over so quickly what ever
it is that has been going around. Most people have been sick for at least 2 or
3 days. I was able to fully recover within one day. I am so grateful that these
young men are worthy to hold such marvelous power. The priesthood is the power
and the authority that men can hold, if they are worthy, to act in the name of
God for the salvation of His children. I am grateful that we live during a time
when this priesthood power and authority has been restored to the Earth and our
lives can be blessed by it.
Today, I have
the opportunity to attend the Mexico City Temple. This will be our second and
last time. It is such a great way to begin and end my time here at the CCM. I'm
a little sad that I won't be able to send pictures of my time there later today
but I will be sure to include them in my next email.
I absolutely
loved General Conference! It was especially great to watch Conference here at
the CCM! For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to watch the all of
the different sessions I would really encourage you to do so, as soon as you
can. Or if you did, go back and watch and read the talks over again. Begin with
a prayer and watch or read the talks with questions in mind. I promise that if
you do these things and write down the thoughts and the impressions that you
have while watching, that your questions will be answered and you will receive
a witness of the Spirit that the things being taught are of God.
I testify that
we are all Hijos de Dios! Dios nos ama!
Love,
Hermana
