Sorry, this won´t be very long because I have 20 minutes, but yes it was my last week in the CCM and I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can´t wait to get out into the field. It is going to be so amazing! I will leave tomorrow morning at about 5 in the morning for a 4 hour bus ride, which will take me to the Mission Home where I get to finally meet President Smith and his wife. I might have time to email when I'm there, but not for sure about that.
Thank you for your testimony, Dad, it really means a lot. I am so sorry this is so short, but I want to try to email everyone, and I should have more time tomorrow at the mission home. Don´t quote me on that though. I love you so much dad! I will have so many stories in the next weeks to come and can´t wait to share them with you.
Oh one thing I thought was kind of funny that I´ll share with you but would rather you not share with mom. In these 6 weeks there have been a few gun battles go down on the street right outside the CCM!!! It has been pretty weird to hear all the gun shots so close to us!!!! Just thought I´d tell you, it was kind of funny. (Mom speaking here: Ummmm, what? Funny would not be my word of choice here. :) Guatemala is in a state of unrest right now, and a government uprising, soooooo, thoughts and prayers of safety would be greatly appreciated!! Funny? Pshhht, not really.)
I loved being able to listen to conference this weekend too!!! It was amazing!! My favorite would have to be from President Uchtdorf on Saturday morning talking about how we need to appreciate this gospel more and not take it for granted. It was so good!! My favorite thing he said was that "We walk a path full of diamonds, but mistake the precious gems as meerly pebbles along the way" It made me realize how much I really do take this gospel for granted. And I am glad that I can now share this gospel and the happiness it brings to the people of Guatemala!!!!!
I hope you have a good week? Remember to pray to your Heavenly Father about anything you are needing and you will receive the help and peace that you need, I promise.
Love Elder Harward
