Week 5!! I'm almost out of the CCM!!

Hello again family and friends,

I am onto the last week here at the CCM.  It has gone by so quickly and I can't believe I'm almost going to be doing actual missionary work!

But this past Friday we all got to go out and be companions for an afternoon with missionaries in the field.  I went and I mostly just stayed in  the city but we went and taught 2 lessons and then contacted.  There was lots of walking and sweating but it was really great!  Here the cheapest transportation is what they call a carrido.  It is a really beat up, small car and people just pile in.  When you would normally fit only 5 people they fit 8 or 9 so that's fun and sweaty, but it gets us around.  Teaching was fun but also overwhelming because I really don't understand what exactly is going on-i get the main point but when the investigator asks questions I have no idea, they speak so fast here.  So I mostly just stuck with praying and bearing my testimony; starting nice and simple.

Some of the Sisters I am with when we
walked around the weird park here
I will be leaving the CCM on Tuesday Oct. 25!

My spiritual thought for this week is actually some quotes from a song that I shared when I taught Relief Society this past Sunday.  The song is called "One Voice" by Dustin Gledhill and here are a couple of lines:

"I am just one voice, but one voice can still be heard
One, but not alone a thousand voices sing
He was just one voice, but one voice that changed the earth
Hermana Howard and I on this weird teeter totter.  She is from
Houston, Texas and will be going to the East Mission as well!
Teaching love and peace to a lost and dreary world."

Every Sister in my room loves this song and I do too!  Even though I am just one voice I can still make an impact but of course only through faith and the Holy Ghost.  This message goes along with a scripture D&C 100:5-6.  I invite you to read it and remember that you all can be missionaries!

Love you all!  Next week hopefully my emails will be a lot more interesting!

Love,
Hermana Steed
