Time Is Starting to Speed Up

Hey Everyone,

First of all, thank you so much for all of the emails this week, I don't have time to respond to them all but I did read them! Anyway, everything here at the CCM is still going great. I have to say, the first week I was here, it felt like an eternity even though I adjusted easily, it was just a big change. Now however, time is moving again. On Monday I will be halfway done with my time here in Mexico and then I'll be on my way to Paraguay. A lot happened this week too. Due to some unexpected District changes that kind of rippled through the CCM, I am now in a trio. Elder Hansen is still my companion, but now Elder Wanczyk is with us too. As a result we had to move as well. We were staing in the dorms that are here, but we moved to a Casa. There are a bunch of houses on campus here and we had to find time in our busy schedule to move everything all across campus between classes and mealtimes. The one perk that came out of it though is that we now live with Elder Celaya (for those that don't know he is a kid from Napa that I came out here with).

Everyday here we get an hour of gym time and my district and I play Volleyball with this group of Latinos that are actually pretty good. It's funny to play with them becasue there is such a comunication gap. All the Americans pretend like they know a lot more Spanish than they do and the Latinos are all trying to learn English so we mostly just act things out or decide whatever we had to say wasn't important enough so we just move on and play some more.

On a more spiritual note, this week we had a devotional from one of the Area Authorities of Mexico and he talked about how commitments are necessary for progression. He said that thinkgs will get hard, but if we commit to a worthy cause, God will bless us with the help we need even if it seems impossible. The most important thing we can do is to press forward with faith and not give up. It really helped me focus more on my missiona and I know that whenever it gets hard, I will be blessed. Hope everyone has a great week!

Love,
Elder Seibert

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...
