Week Four

4 weeks down! Almost 1 Month!

It has been raining constantly here. It’s fun though because one day during the week we had no teachers because there was some miscommunication with the schedule so it was like another P Day and all of us missionaries went out in the rain without actual rain clothes on and played, sang HIlary Duff "Let the rain fall down" like back at home and it was so much fun. Definitely a highlight of my week. 

So I finally dreamt IN SPANISH! Though the people in my dream weren’t speaking Spanish only I was. But it is awesome it is getting to a point where I can speak Spanish all day. Obviously learning new words and such but overall my goal is to speak Spanish every day for this last week and a half here at the CCM. 

Alfajors are my favorite! They are this yummy cookie that has three of them stacked up with dulce de leche in between bathed in more chocolate, the entire alfajor is like 500 calories but it is so worth it. Haha. I love love love them. And the most fun thing about getting them is that the cooks here say " HO Ho HO, Feliz Navidad!" When passing them out to all of us. It is very fun. Everyone that works at the CCM are members. 

2 things I am sick of already is this program called TALL and it is how we learn Spanish on the computer and it is a church LDS program made by them. And secondly I am sick of my clothes already. Lol. Though I haven’t even used half of them yet. But still the ones I have unpacked for the CCM stay...Yeah no, Haha. I’m not feeling them anymore. 

Another thing that was so great this week was that some Hermanas and I sang Wicked and Baby Its Cold Outside from Elf and it made me feel like I was at home again. I loved it so much. It brought me back to home and singing with Madi and Betty all the time. 

My favorite part of conference was Elder Hollands talk and how important it is to live with Jesus Christ by your side. And forgiving yourself first before forgiving others. The Spirit can be so strong and living Christ like every day cleaving unto him can make a huge difference in ones like when wanting to do the right thing. The church is true and the book is blue. 

I don’t have much time left but i love you all and Write me! Almost done with my CCM stay and my Spanish is improving now. 

I was given more time so I get to write some more! 

Funny thing though, when we do laundry at the CCM it’s like a vacation. At home it is painful and you don’t ever want to do it but since there is the same schedule every day, laundry day changes it up so much. Lol. 

Also, this week I have been rubbing The statue of Nefi’s head. And it’s a tale if you rub his head your Spanish will improve significantly. Haha. Kinda funny. 

We get to go proselyting again this Saturday, I am excited though, nervous at the same time because it takes a lot of concentration to understand Spanish because the Latinos speak extremely fast. It will be fun though. I am excited.

Update on my hair do´s, yeah, Madi you would be disappointed, I go all natural with my hair and face. Occasionally I curl my hair but I hardly have anytime for anything. 

A typical day in the CCM is wake up at 6:30, drag myself out of bed. Lol. 

Get dressed and then go downstairs to eat breakfast. (They have cereal every morning at the CCM, so breakfast kind of really stinks. Haha.)

After we have prep. time, personal study, then comp. study. 

About 11 we then have progressive investigator/Language study. The progressive investigator lessons are very interesting and kind of a normal thing now because we now know that the people aren’t actual investigators just in proxy and that its just constantly teaching the same lesson but I know that is how the field will be, I know that I will have such a great love for my investigators. One of my I.P.´s dropped my companion and I because she thought that the church was hurting her family because she had many problems in her life but we stopped by at Genoveyva´s house again and she was doing better and wanted us to come back again. at that moment I had so much love in my heart for her and I just cannot wait to be able to actually teach and have these experiences. 

After, eat lunch, have TALL, and then go outside for activity, then class again for 3 hours, Dinner and then class again. And then bed time! And that’s the life of Hermana Davis at the CCM in Argentina. Lol. 

The amount of love and spirit that is in the hearts of people in Argentina is amazing. I love the gospel and I love you all again! 

Love, 

Hermana Davis
