On the Back End of My Time in Mexico City

Hey Everyone,

Well fortunately things have been going pretty well here in the CCM. This week went by super fast and I am happy to say that I am still loving it here. It´s pretty crazy to think that I am in the middle of Mexico City right now because the campus we have is huge and very well taken care of. It really reminds me of Napa High campus in a lot of ways except this place is a lot more fun.

This week we had two surprise devotionals that were broadcasted in from the Provo Missionary Traingin Center, one from Elder M. Russel Ballard on Sunday and then Tuesday we heard from Elder Neil L. Anderson (for those that don´t know they are some very important Church leaders and I would recommend looking them up). Elder Ballard talked about focusing on the work and not getting distracted by more worldly things and Elder Anderson talked about the importance of prayer in our work. They were both very inspiring.

Finally, my Spanish is coming along very well and I am definitely improving everyday. During the week though we were playing volleyball with some Mexican Elders and we had enough people that we were subbing players in and out of the game. I was sitting on the side struggling to talk to this Mexican elder in Spanish and then I asked him were he was from and in perfect English he said, "Oh, I´m from Orem, Utah" so that was pretty funny, but I´m glad I am able to at least have some kind of conversation in Spanish now. It´s amazing how quickly you can learn just from talking and listening to Latino teachers and missionaries all day.

That´s all that I have to report this week, I love being a missionary!

Love,
Elder Seibert

P.S. - Sorry no pictures this week, but there really wasn´t anything too picture worthy this week

Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a good week. Down here in Paraguay things are going well. I am loving my new area and, and my companion Elder Castro has a ton of energy, so we are gonna kill it. It has been beyond HOT this past week, like almost 110 with humidity. But we are still out everyday trying to teach people about Jesus Christ. Maybe this will sound obvious to all of you, but I have been thinking about how important it is to share this message we have with everyone we know. The gospel of Jesus Christ and all that he did for us is so important. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have about Jesus, about his plan for me and how I can be like him. As I try harder and harder each day to be like my Savior I can see that it is not easy. He never had it easy as long as he lived and as long as I am trying to be like him it will never get easier. I am so happy to be here in Paraguay and serving the people who live here. Love, Elder Seibert Pics: me saying goodby...
