Week Something Or Other

Every day is the same except when its CHRISTMAS! Today is kind of my p-day because we've got a Christmas conference for the whole mission. It's a ton of fun. We watched the Best Two Years and I loved it.

This week I got to see my old MTC comp, Hermana Gasperoni, and do some roleplays with her. It felt like we'd never stopped being comps. 

Spanish is going really well! I'm learning a ton of new vocab and I'm understanding more and more of what people are saying. Its so cool to be in the states where people are from all over South America. We hear lots of accents and different words like "mande" that some people say/understand and others don't! Super fun stuff! It's an honor to be serving people in their language. 

Spiritual thought: people liked the movie metaphor last time so I think I'll keep that up. The song We Know the Way from Moana has a line that really intrigued me. It says "at night we name every star, we know where we are. We know where we are, WHO we are." So I've been thinking, why would knowing where we are help us know who we are? How come knowing "the way" helps us know our identity?

When we know the plan of salvation (where we are), we learn who we were. When we learn the gospel of Jesus Christ we learn who we are meant to be. With both of them, we know who we are!

Until next time,
