One month today!

     





     Well I have officially been in The CCM for one month today!  My Spanish is becoming better and my ability to teach is as well. This week has been a really good week, we taught actual volunteer investigators and had the opportunity to provide the sacrament service for the CCM staff which was a really cool and different experience!

     I loved my letter and package I got this week ( so did my district ) and my district is amazing. I do realize now how nice alone time is! I love my district but some days there really is nothing better than being alone for a little while, it´s a completely different experience to have someone with you 24/7. My companion ( Elder Standing ) and I still get along really well, and Dad said he wanted to hear more about the people in my district, so here it goes. Elder Frost (Frosty) is from Las Angeles Cali, his companions, Elder Merrill is from Washington State and Elder Murdoch is from New Hampshire. The District leader, Elder Fuhriman is from Ohio and his companion (which is also his cousin) Elder Gedess is from Kansas. The Hermanas, Hermana Shehane is from Georgia and her companion, Hermana Dingess is from Virginia. I don´t know what else to say but they are all really great. We all have dark circles under our eyes and our sanity is out the window after this last week lol.
      I learned grammar in Spanish that I never even new existed in English! We made a promise to speak Spanish 100% of the time for the rest of our CCM stay and we have been doing.....ok? We definitely need to work harder but its been going well and my Spanish is rapidly improving. I´ve been praying for humility this past week and boy did I get humbled! I learned this week that without the Spirit in a lesson you have no chance of speaking or teaching an investigator. The Spirit is essential for missionary work and thank the dear Lord for humbling experiences.
I love you all and thank you for the prayers! 
Love,
Elder Clements
