MTC week 3

que pasa familia como esta this week was pretty crazy haha i don't know how to explain it so I'm just going to read write some of my journal entry's:)it all started on Sunday marzo veintidos i wrote in my journal tonight was rough because we watched meet the Mormons and i wasn't really that excited to watch it and then i ended up loving it but this one part in the movie really got me :(theres a missionary part in it and the kid in it is from Utah and it basically just goes through everything that it takes to get ready for a mission but it made me sad because the mom in it reminded me so much of my sweet mom i started crying during the movie and i can officially say i miss my momma haha the kid in the movie left for his mission out of the salt lake airport and he said goodbye to his family in like the exact same spot i did so that made me sad too haha mom if you want to cry go watch the missionary part in meet the Mormons it was bitter sweet to feel this way though towards my family it was a good feeling even though i cried like a baby!!!!:) 

on Tuesday night i wrote in my journal 

what a night so we taught our investigator Isaec(E-SOC) who is really hermano pinneda one of our teachers hes always getting on me and saying i can be one of the best missionary's i just need to learn the language i am trying to be really obedient but its hard its pretty rough porque i want to be the best missionary i can be but i also want to be happy and enjoy my mission and the people i am meeting here but anyways we had a lesson with e soc tonight and it was really rough i prepared for like 2 days to teach him and prepared really good stuff and our teacher was being such a tonto he pretended like he was sleeping while we were trying to teach him it was making me so mad i wanted to punch him our mensaje was not good and after i was just really mad i didn't even understand why i was here what the point of me preparing for 2 days and then not even have a decent lesson with him so i was really mad and then he talked to us and was like you might have an investigator that does that and stuff but he said one thing that kinda got to me he said i promise elder tams if you are obedient in everything that you do that you will be fluent in the language its so hard to have faith here because your faith is tested every single day that's why missions are so good because you learn to over come the challenges and then your faith grows 

on Wednesday night 

i wrote tonight we taught a new investigator she isn't Mormon she had a boyfriend and she has problems with the law of Chastity its one of my teachers room mates her name is hermana vergara she is my favorito teacher and she picked me and my companions to share a mensaje with her so i defiantly felt blessed to have the opportunity to help someone that my teacher cared so much about but i was so scared me and my companions said a prayer before we went in to teach her and i said it and i felt the spirit so strongly we had a lesson plan to talk about praying and to see if she new how to pray and stuff and to try and teach her how to recognize the spirit and how we can receive answers to our prayers we went in there and she told us that she has prayed that she wants to know if this gospel is true but she has never had any answers to her prayers i felt the spirit so strongly in that room telling me to say stuff that would help her but it broke my heart because the thoughts that were coming through my head were in English and i couldn't transfer them over to espanol but i bared my testimony to her my companions helped me with words it was a really good message and she committed to us that she would read the book  of Mormon and that she would pray with real intent and really want to know if this message is true it was bitter sweet and oh ya guess what her name was haha Yvonne but they say ybbonne in espanol cause that's how they pronounce there V¨´s i love this gospel i know that as we overcome our personal challenges no matter what they might be we might have them every day but i know that as we overcome them than that's the only way to become closer with our god!!!i wrote in my journal my companion's are really smart they both were like 4.0 students and they both took espanol in highschool elder jarrett went to byu before he came here and he was like super smart but both of my companions are kinda selfish there always complaining about how they cant speak fluently and all this stupid stuff haha and it really just makes me mad because if i was as good at espanol as they are this mtc thing would be a piece of cake!!the weather is great here i love it i leave in 17 days so that's crazy but who's counting right;) haha sorrella osborn wrote me and told me that it gets alot easier when i get in the field that your trainer will help you with the language a ton so I'm counting on that haha 

i wish that i could portray my feelings more to you guys because i seriously have had the saddest but the most happiest moments since i have been here the thing i have learned the most though is that its important to have a good attitude in life no matter what your going through i know alot of my family is going through surgery's or even spiritual harm but i promise if there is one thing that i have learn ed here its that you cant give up you have to keep fighting and you cant give up on god he will always be there for you and if you put your trust in him and sincerely pray for the desires of your heart i know that he will help you :)<3 sorry i had to get a little serious on ya haha !! i love you all and you have all been great examples to me 

I LOVE YOU!!!!
