HI!
Well this was my last week at the CCM. And honestly I am glad. I've been getting cabin fever and a little trunky the past few days because I just want to get out there!! My Spanish isn't perfect but I can hold my own. It's super good that I am at the CCM because all the teachers are from Lima and so they teach us the Spanish that is spoken here! I have been really progressing and I can't wait to learn more! On saturday we are going proselyting again, in my mission again! So if I am trunky now... wait till Sunday. I am going to be biting at the bits! I just can't wait to teach the incredible people here and share a message that will make them so much happier than they already are! I was told that my mission is the smallest area wise but the biggest population wise. I think there are about 1,000,000 people in my mission! Crazy huh??? And i heard its the poorest, even better. I am so excited to be actually doing missionary work! I was so excited to leave on my mission but then I go to the CCM and realized that this is just a six week long mission prep calls and my real mission starts on Tuesday! But I have grown so much here. I have learned more than I could have ever hoped for and there is still truckloads to learn. I have loved it here. The food is amazing, the rooms are nice, the teachers are incredible, and everyone is just happy to be out here serving the Lord!!! I can't wait to get to the field!
That is so cool that your doing a missionary month! And I love that the bishop gave you a B.O.M. challenge! Tell this to the kids, I am on track to finsih the Book of Mormon on Monday and I started about two and half weeks ago with only about one to two hours of reading a day. They can totally finish it by Christmas!!! I believe in them!!! I really hope the ward is improving and getting excited about missionary work! Have there been any more mission calls? I love here abour them. A friend from school got called to my mission! Unfortunately she's a girl so we won't be comps but that will mean I will have at least four people in the mission that I know besides my district here in the CCM! (we're all going to Lima North btw, except 2). Tell the youth that any Chirstlike deed is missionary work! And if you can find the talk Elder Bednar gave in 2011 on Christmas. It is incredible.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to go to the field!!! It will be the absolute greatest thing ever!!! I cannot wait!
Awkward: (from like two weeks ago) I super kicked the soccer ball over these 50 foot high nets and over the fence of the CCM into the street. It was pretty awksome...
Awesome: Just being here on a mission! We don't do much here at the CCM so my awesome moments are lacking... But! I did get a SWEET Lima club jersey today!!!
I miss you all and I can't wait to tell you all about the field and the amazing people of Lima!!!
I love you!!!!
You are always in my prayers
Poco a Poco
Love,
Elder McIff
