Here we are! Week one and my goodness what a week. I have spent the past week at home immersing myself in the Spanish language. This immersive environment has been a very different experience than anything I have ever been a part of before. I for a while felt as though my mouth wasn’t made to speak spanish, but, like all hard things in life, we can rely on the lord to help us through it and I'm happy to say that after many hours of prayer and stacks and stacks of flashcards, I have begun to understand and appreciate this beautiful language. Likewise, I have recognized the power of prayer. Prayer is one of the most powerful tools Heavenly Fathers give to us here in mortality. Prayer helps us reach out to God and receive divine help and companionship through the storms of life. And the best part about it is that when we ask, through our faithfulness, we shall receive. This blessing of ask and ye shall find is something I have focused on for a large portion of my week. I have found myself praying nonstop for the lord to direct my heart to him and help me combat this seemingly impossible challenge with faith.
What an amazing opportunity it is to serve a mission. I know that these next few weeks of online MTC training will help me grow closer to my Father in Heaven and help me recognize his impact in my life. I am excited to help the people of Mexico, and I can't wait to get started. I promise and testify, that as each one of us strive each and every day to help our Heavenly Fathers children grow closer to him by serving them, we can and will feel an increased amount of joy and feel his love for us and for them. Week two, here we come!!
