Hunter Mexico MTC June 16-21

Once again this week has been amazing. A lot of it is just a repeat of last week so not too much more to report but there were some great experiences. 

    First off church here was so awesome. It was entirely in Spanish and I'm honestly not sure exactly what I learned from it, but definitely felt the Spirit there. Hopefully this Sunday I'll be able to write down some notes from it. I was also able to give the prayer for sacrament meeting which in Spanish. I'm not sure if what I said made sense to anyone, but I understood what I was saying and that's all you can ask for. 

   The rest of the week was just lessons, devotionals and the occasional pickle ball tournament in our district. But one of the coolest things we did was called helping others. This is when you and your companion get to teach a random person more about the gospel and try to have them understand it. Last week we did it in English and this week we did it in Spanish. Over all it was amazing. We got through our lesson and our person seemed to know what we were talking about, so you know I consider that a win for me. 

   Lastly this week we got to go to the Mexico city temple which was absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to serve my ancestors and help them come to Christ. The culture here and atmosphere is like nothing I've ever experienced. At first it seems sketchy, but just one trip to the temple and I would have been content if I was to serve my mission here. It was amazing!

Anyway thats a brief wrap of the week I'll end with a spiritual thought I had during my personal study this week which was about Faith. 

Many think of faith just as believing in a higher power or just having the hope that there is something beyond this world but there is so much more to it. Faith is an action word. So if we truly have faith in our Heavenly Father  and Jesus Christ we will want to act on it and share it with others. God will not just give us miracles we have to show to him that we are willing to put him before the world and as we take that step we will be able to see his hand in our lives just be patient and look for it. 

Anyway that's the entire week for yall I love everyone and I hope it was a great spiritual week for everyone!
