Heyyyy Y'all!!! 

I can not believe next time I write y'all I'll be in St. Louis! I'm genuinely filled with so many emotions! But also a ton of excitement! The CCM has been one of the best experiences I have ever had and I'm so beyond grateful that I have gotten to be here! I have met the greatest people and have gotten so close to my Heavenly Father! It's a blast! 

I'm not going to lie, I really have nothing to update y'all on! Life is still the same here at the CCM! So it's really nice that it's all gonna change next week! So bare with me in this email because it's just a bunch of scattered thoughts all written down lol!

Being at the CCM for so long I can always tell who the newbies are on Tuesdays. It's my favorite game to go up to them and say "Are y'all new?", so far my stats have been that I'm 100% right 100% of the time! It's a great tactic to meet more people!

I'm not going to lie it's been a pretty funny experience that Lexi has actually been in the field (Colorado) for about 3 weeks and I get to tell everyone about her experiences there. She's has had a pretty wild 3 weeks so I think I may be scaring a couple of the missionaries lol! 

Guys if y'all ever wanna get the best sleep ever go on a mission for reals. I can tell y'all that I think my roommates may be concerned for me because every night we are supposed to be asleep by 10:30 but I'm always out cold at 9:45. It's been the best sleep I've ever gotten! 10/10 recommend! 

Another Sunday in the CCM!

Also, guys I have to be honest! My life here at the CCM in an all girl district has been the spiciest reality TV show. It's like the bachelor but there's no candidates and it's purely the girl drama side of it. But through the power of prayer and patience we have made it through! 

The temple was extra special this week because my sistrict and I decided to match and it was pretty cute! A pretty great ending to the best 6 weeks! At the temple we finished our session pretty fast so we were asked if we'd like to do some service. Of course we said yes. And so that lead to me being taught how to sew buttons on shirts. Not that hard since I am the daughter of a quilter 😉! But I did sew 6 buttons on 6 different shirts in 30 mins. I'm pretty much a pro. This weekend I need to start packing everything up for my flight on Thursday. Everyone please pray that my bags will be under 50 pounds! Lol!

Spiritual thought!! I have read Alma 5 about 4 times this week! For 2 reasons! It's the best chapter and I keep spacing out lol! But I love Alma 5 so much so here's my fav verse this week! Alma 5:48 

"I say unto you, that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall say unto you, concerning that which is to come, is true; and I say unto you, that I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy, and truth. And behold, it is he that cometh to take away the sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name."

I could not be more grateful for Christ's atonement and His sacrifice on the cross! He loves us. My favorite quote from an Elder here this week has been "Christ would do it again even just for one of us" because he loves us! Seriously, he loves you all so very much!

So so sorry that this email was seriously all over the place, but just know I love y'all! Have the best week! I'll catch y'all in St. Louie!!!!! Remember, GOD IS SO GOOD!!
