Week 6 Chile 1st assignment

I am here finally. I love Chile. I love my new companion. He is from Brasil and doesn't speak any English which is a little bit difficult because I don't speak very much Spanish and obviously no Portuguese. I am so grateful for this work and the people that I get to serve. I love this gospel and I know that Christ lives and directs this church. It has been such a long week and so much has happened and changed, but I am doing great. Les amo. Tengan una buena semana.

Week 5 last email at México CCM

I am out of here Monday morning. Headed to the field. Estonia may animado. I can't wait to get down there. Not much goes on here. Just the same thing everyday. One awesome thing that is the same everyday though is the Spirit. The amount of love I feel from God on a daily basis is insane. I have never been so motivated and happy in my life. I love it. I love this Church. I love this Gospel. I love the Lord! Next time you guys hear from me I will be in Chile! Les Amo.

Week 4

I am so ready for the field. This past week was nuts. So on thursday it was Mexican Independence day and there was fireworks all night and music blasting, it was hard to sleep. But it was so much fun. They threw a party for all the missionaries and we watched a mexican ballet. It was really cool to see how another culture celebrates their independence.

The days are flying by down here and I can´t wait until Oct 4. I need to get out in the field. I am driving myself nuts. I want to leave, but I know I need this. I know I need more of the language study. My spanish is coming along and I can understand more of what people say all the time, pero no puedo decir mucho. I hope everyone is doing great at home and just remember that you are all children and God and he loves you! Love you all!

Nick's 3rd Week

Week 3

We had three live broadcasts from members of the 12. Elder Christofferson, Elder Ballard, and Elder Cook. They were great, they talked a lot Missionary stuff. I saw Sister Maddie Ashment during the broadcast. Lo ice to for the short emails. I will try and plan this better tomorrow.

Week 2

Things are great down here. The days are all the same, so there's not much to talk about. I got my hair cut and we went to the temple last p-day and today. Elder Coleman is off to Atlanta and he is going to be a great missionary!! It was a really cool experience to do a session in Spanish. I am so glad for the opportunity I have to be here. Fun Fact: The Mexico City Temple is one of five temples that Angel Moroni is holding the plates. It's going good. Les Amo.

Week One México CCM

Week One:

It´s been a great week. I don´t have much time, but I want to say how much I love it down here. It´s to think I am in Mexico, it doesn´t feel like it. I have two companions because of how it worked out, but it´s great. Elder Pace and Elder McCracken are my best buds now.
So Elder Pace had a gnarly spider bite on his leg, the doctor told us this morning that it was the worst he had ever seen. He entire lower leg was swollen and red, but Elder McCracken and I gave him a priesthood blessing before. I have never felt so close to the Spirit, it felt like there was a third set of hands on his head as we gave him his blessing. I know that the Power of the Priesthood is a real thing. I know that through faith in Jesus Christ, he will bless with anything that we work towards.
Spanish is so much easier than English. I am picking up on the language really well. The gift of tongues is a real thing! There is no way I could have learned as much as I have in the last week as I did without it.
I got called as our District Leader too. It is great. My district is amazing. They all have such a desire to serve the Lord and be the best missionaries that they can be.
The days are long but good, I´m going to the temple today so that should be a big stress reliever. I am so happy to be here and there is no other place I would rather be at this point in my life. I love the Lord and I love all of you.
