Week 2

 This home MTC experience has been amazing, I have grown to know most of the people in my district and they are all amazing!

Although it was been awesome it has been very tiring as well,  Ive been getting up at around 4:45 to go for a quick run, and then start my studies.  It has been a very hard transition from waking up at around noon ish to this jaja.  I remember one time we were in our morning zoom class that started at 8 am.  About 45 minutes into the zoom, our teacher started to talk a lot and he eventually lost my attention.  Don't get me wrong I love my morning teacher and he's fantastic, but I was so tired that I eventually closed my eyes and fell asleep.  The next thing I knew I woke up and 20 minutes had passed.  I thought no one had noticed that I fell asleep so I went along with the class as if nothing had happened.  I remember looking at somebody's screen and their background looked a little weird, I took a closer look and It was me sleeping in the class😂  Then I looked around and everybody had me as their background.  This wasn't my proudest missionary moment but now I know not to fall asleep in class.

This was my last week of home mtc and the next time you will hear from me I will be in Mexico!!!

 Anyways I feel that my testimony in Christ is ever growing. My desire to serve our fellow brothers and sisters has grown and will continue to grow.  I have come to know a lot of my weaknesses in this short amount of time.  I remember reading in the Book of Mormon and a verse had caught my attention.  Either 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their ^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them."   I felt as though it was no coincidence that I came across it. 

I have gained testimony that anything is possible through the power of God.  I believe that if you go to God in prayer and admit your flaws, the Lord Almighty will change you.

 I owe all that I am, and all that I ever will be, to God.  I promise that he loves you and there is no addiction, bad habit of character flaw that cannot be fixed through the love and atonement of Jesus Christ.
