This week is, in fact, my last week in the CCM. I honestly do not think I can possibly express in words how excited I am to leave. It's been great, but I'm so ready to be in the field. Back in the good ol' USA getting yelled at by all of the crazies in Washington. all jokes, all jokes (I hope). But I am so thankful for the past six weeks of my life. I have never learned so much in such a short period of time. I'm so happy to be here. I'm so thankful for my teachers and my district and all of the companions I've had in these past 6 weeks.
Speaking of companions, Hermana Otuafi had improved A LOT. She's learned more in this past week than I think she's learned her whole MTC stay so far, so that's amazing and definitely a big blessing.
This week has been for the most part status quo. For those of you who are always telling me that you wish I played the cello more, you'll be happy to hear that I performed this Tuesday at a campus-wide devotional. Woohoo. haha. You can thank Hermana Nilsson for dragging me into that experience. All in all. I'm glad it's over. (;
They also do these awesome workshops for new missionaries that I was able to participate in. The work is for sure moving forward. I have such a stronger testimony of Preach my Gospel and the CCM because the changes that happen in just 3 weeks are amazing. Anyway, because of the workshop, I got to wear my p-day clothes, open-toed shoes, and wait for it... MY HOOPS. I'm not talking about my wimpy inch and a half missionary hoops, I'm talking about MY HOOPS!!! When Macy saw me she said, "It's the real Sofie!!" I've never felt so free out here. Haha.
I am going to miss the church meetings here a lot. I've never felt the spirit so strong in relief society before. The kids out here are insane. I've really enjoyed my time here, but I'm so ready to get to Washington. I fly out on Tuesday!!
I'm out of time!!! I love you all so much. The church is true, God loves you, following Christ makes life GOOD. So do it!!
Love,
Hermana Jimenez
PS: there WILL be hair updates once I get to Washington.
A sweet surprise for me on Monday (remember her MTC pday is Thursday) when Sofia uploaded this pic... well, she posed for it and told her comp,
"Make sure it shows my face so it will auto-upload."
I'm loving technology and the fact that google can recognize her face and put her picture in my Sofia Mission Picture Folder for me to see immediately!
