I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

So my last week at the CCM... haha I cannot hardly remember it to be honest! Things have been so exciting and what not. This Friday we had in field orientation at the Main Campus ALL DAY and it was super fun.

I saw Elder Logan Flake and gave him a nice firm handshake before he almost jumped into my arms in a cousinly hug. It is hard to remember that rule when you see people you know. Two Hermanas in my zone have their younger brothers here and were told that they can't hug each other. All I keep thinking is that if Travis was here with me that rule would be literally impossible to follow and we would both lose blessings for disobedience haha. "I love you Chavy! . . . . AHHHHHH"

Also the food at the main campus is exquisite and now I understand why everyone says you gain weight at the MTC haha at West Campus we have been getting jipped this whole time and we never even knew it! We had Papa John's again but don't worry I only ate 2 slices this time haha.

 

Well the time is here whether I am ready or not! The good news is, I feel ready. The bad news is: in reality there is no bad news. I am so excited. There is no other work that brings me so much happiness. I know that this is the work of God and that I am an important part of it. I know that there are people in Argentina that God has prepared to hear the Gospel through MY mouth, and all I know is that I hope I can do all I can to prepare myself so that I can present this great news in the way that Jesus Christ would want it presented. Being a missionary is the most precious opportunity! There is nothing else I would rather be doing right now- not even the Snowflake 24th Flake rodeo can top it haha. I am so grateful for my experience here at the CCM and I AM READY! Yeahhhh baby who's up for round 2?!?

 

I am never one to like goodbyes. I've said goodbye to one of my teachers already and have to say goodbye to Hno. Vargas tonight which is going to be the hardest. He has been the very best teacher and he just cares so much. We are his last district so we had a testimony meeting/ spiritual lecture from him yesterday and I cried haha. He has been such a support to me. Also I don't know what I'm gonna do without my compañera. We make the best awkward team and have had so many laughs together. All I know is California is lucky to have her. We have so many awkward moments together and they are my favorite. Plus I have gotten so incredibly close to my district. I guess I am going to have to get used to goodbyes though because there are quite a few transfers ahead of me. I find comfort in the knowledge that we can have these relationships forever.
