School of Rock/ Parent Trap:
So reason #1000 why Hna. Bloxham and I are best friends forever. We both love school of rock and one night on our way home sang every word to one of the songs from that movie. We also learned the handshake from Parent Trap that Anna and the butler do and its very fantastic!
TRC:
So TRC is an activity we do here at the CCM where people volunteer from the community to be taught by us. It could be a teacher, non-member, member, less-active, recent convert, anybody and we teach them for about 20-30 ish minutes. I LOVE TRC. Its so fun because we get to meet new people and its fun to talk to them. So this past week, my companions and I got a guy who actually was just visiting Mexico for a conference but is from...SAN DIEGO!!!! He said and our teachers said he was practicing his spanish because his whole family is hispanic so he actually spoke really well and helped us a lot and we actually talked in english a little bit because the lesson was just soooooo amazing. This guy was absolutely a tender mercy because he just kept telling us thank you for being missionaries and that he is so grateful for our decision to serve. He told us about how one day he was having a very hard time and he prayed to God that he could just have some friends in his life, he walked 3 blocks and the sister missionaries were there and changed his life forever. We were supposed to be teaching him that day but he was the one teaching us. I loved that experience so much.
#BecauseHeLives
So I dont know if you guys know this yet but on April 5th, everyone who gets on youtube will see a called "Because He Lives". If you havent seen it, watch it. It is absolutely amazing. As we near Easter, my mind has been on the Savior a lot. I'm so incredibly greatful for every single thing He has done for everyone on this planet and for me personally. The Atonement not only allows us to repent from our sins but to not feel alone in our trials and tribulations, He is with every single one of us in every single thing we go through. He knows how we feel and He will help us in todas los tiempos en nuestras vidas. Estoy muchísimo agradecido por mi Salvador y por Su Expiacion. I encourage all of you to get on Youtube on April 5th and invite others to do so. The video is absolutely amazing and everyone (not just those who are members of the church) will be edified by it. Watch the video here!
Sorry that this email is so short!!! Not a whole lot happened but the things that did happen were
so amazing and edifying and I am so grateful for all the experiences Im having here. I love this mission so much and I cant wait to get out into the field and go to California and find the people that God wants me to help. Im so honored to wear Christ's name on my badge and to be a representative of Him.
I have learned a lot at the CCM and I have learned more than just what the teachers are teaching me but what the Lord is trying to teach me about this Gospel and about myself. I realized that
Our goal on this Earth is to become more like Christ and the character of Christ is turning out to everyone, no exceptions. That was a very cool experience for me to receive that revelation.
I love every single one of you con todo mi corazon. I absolutely would not be here without the wonderful family the Lord has given me, and I know we have been placed together in a family on this Earth by the hands of God, who has a perfect knowledge of what we need and who loves us so much. You are all so amazing and I love you all!!! Have an amazing week!!!!
Hermana Christensen!!
Taylor, your time and effort and love to surprise me will be something I'll never forget. Your thoughtfulness is above and beyond and I love everything so much. I love you!!
