2nd Week CCM- started a business

 I started a business but I'll tell you guys about it later in the email. This week has gone by way faster than last week. It seems like it was just yesterday I wrote my first email. This whole thing still doesn't seem real but I am blessed to be out here experiencing it.

Monday: We went to the Mexico City temple this day and it was an amazing experience for me personally. In the temple I got to baptize 11 people during baptisms for the dead. It was a little scary at first mainly because the prayer was in Spanish but I did great.
Tuesday: This day nothing too special happened. This week's new missionaries came in and it kinda just brought me back to the feeling I got when I was new, which literally was last week.
Wednesday: This day I fasted for someone and it was a late night decision so by the time it got to dinner I hadn't eaten for 24 hours. I also expanded my business this day so that was cool.
Thursday: Yesterday was a little hard to get through but we did it and it's only stepping stones going forward learning from each day.
I also made profit that night from my business. People say I'm really good at it but I kinda find it hard to believe.
The business: Before I left I had my mom buy me some clippers to cut hair. After the first time I cut hair my house thought I was so good so they all were telling people about me so now I get free food, clothes and free washes for my clothes. I also have scheduled appointments with people which is pretty funny.

Week 4 CCM - Aug 18th- Dear John

Image
  This week has been filled with ups and downs and when the ups are up it's awesome but when the downs are down it's really hard to get through. This week was filled with so much. Saturday: This day I got hit with some pretty hard homesickness. This day not much happened. Everyone was tired because it was a day after our P-Day so it was like a Monday morning but all day.  Sunday: This Sunday went fast, the day just kept on sliding past and I had no awareness of time. There isn't much to talk about for this day. Monday: This day was better I wasn't as homesick and was talking to Élder y Hermanas por lo general, no hablaba demasiado puedo yo me alegro de haberlo hecho.  Tuesday: This night was a pretty crazy. The day went by crazy fast. That devotional that night we heard from a 12 apostle live over stream. Bednar was giving a talk at the Provo MTC about repentance and although it wasn't in person, it was still a pretty cool and spiritual experience. Wednesday: This d...

LA and end of CCM

  Finally made it to LA! After a long time spent at the CCM I made it to LA. Although the elevations may have changed and the humidity but the heat has not haha. I left the CCM right when I was getting settled in and comfortable so it's a little hard out here.  Sunday: Today was my last Sunday in the CCM and it went by crazy fast. When I first got there I thought it was going to take forever, pero, I did it. In the devotional today I learned some pretty unique things and metaphors. 1) Be happy with the almosts 2) This isn't a sacrifice, this is an opportunity. 3) Control the Controllables 4) Do things intentionally. 5) Be a dry sponge 6) Be Bold!!! 7) Do and celebrate the little wins each day. 8) You can't fill your spiritual bucket if it's full, empty it out unto others so you can refill it. 9) Rise again and again. 10) without a happy, positive and uplifting mindset, you will never do well and grow. Don't have negative mindsets and enjoy this time because you can ...
