hola!
I
can't believe I only have two more weeks! In two weeks from today I
will be in the field!! CRAZY. I am excited though. And nervous!! I can
understand pretty much everything.... just my replying is not so great.
hahaha. But I will continue to try!!
Okay... So
funny thing about Guatemala. Cars. Cars are horrible here. All day in
class there is constant honking. They are not afraid to use their
horns!! It's pretty funny. And they are pretty bad at driving!!
So
most days our schedule is pretty much the same here in the CCM. I am
going to share that with you! We wake up at 630 and go play sports. Then
we get ready and study. We eat breakfast at 8. Then we have class and
study. Then we eat lunch at 12. Then we have class and study. Then we
eat dinner at 5. Then we have class and study until it is time for bed.
So... We have class ALL day. hahaha. For class we do different things.
Our teachers only speak spanish to us and they get mad if we speak
english. We study for investigators. We teach investigators. We have
grammar lessons. We learn how to teach and we practice teaching with the
latino districts!! It is very repetitive. Everyday. But I am grateful
for it!! Trying to soak it all in and enjoy it!
So
in sacrament meeting on Sundays they don't have a plan. After we take
the sacrament they just call up people to give a talk on the spot. So we
all are supposed to have a talk planned because you just never know!
Well this last sunday I got called to give a talk!! My first talk in
spanish!! I was so nervous but I did it! I talked about faith in Jesus
Christ!
This week has been kind of hard. I can
pretty much understand people when they speak to me but I am having a
hard time replying. the language is difficult. And so so hard. My whole
district has been having a hard time. And a lot of them have been
getting lazy and not really trying. So my teacher shared something with
us that hit me so hard. The mission is hard. Life is hard. When Christ
atoned for our sins and trials and everything... that was hard. Christ
knows. It's supposed to be hard. But through Christ and su Expiación we
can do it!! I have two quotes I want to share that I love. I think they
are both from Elder Holland.
The first one says, "The path of
salvation always goes through Gethsemene." Wow! Powerful. Life is hard!
But if we endure and apply the atonement in our lives... We will make
it and we will be happy!! I love it.
The second one says, "One
of the great consolations of our mortality is that because Jesus walked
such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so." I
love this one. I love it so much. Christ is there for you. ALWAYS. Ask
Him for help and he will help you. I know this to be true. Whenver we
are teaching an investigator and I don't know what to say because I
can't speak spanish... I just bear my testimony of Christ and the love
he has for all of us. I bear my testimony about what he can and will
help us with in our everyday lives. Always remember that He loves you
and wants to help you.
I am almost out of time
but I want to share my testimony in Spanish. I don't really know how to
work this keyboard so I am not using accents and it is probably not
completely correct but I am going to try! haha
Yo
se que la iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos Dias es
verdadera. Yo se que el libro de mormon es un otro testamento de
Jesucristo. Yo se que el libro de mormon es las palabras de Dios. Yo se
que Dios nos ama. Yo se que Dios envio a Jesucristo para nosotros. Yo se
que por medio de Jesucristo y Su Expiación, podemos vivir con Dios y
Jesucristo otra vez. Yo se que Jesucristo es nuestro Salvador. Yo se que
Jesucristo quiere ayudar nosotros en todas cosas en nuestras vidas. En
el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.
I love you all so much! And I hope you have an amazing week!
Love,
Hermana Dibb
