Macey Gates: Sister Macey Gates // Week Three

Awe i am half way done!!! Time has been flying by so dang fast. This week has been the most amazing week. Heavenly father has blessed me with the gift of tongues. I have had to take over the lessons many times this week and i was able to do it without any trouble. I know heavenly father looked out for me this week to be able to gain that confidence. Yesterday i accidentally put on Hermana Homers name tag and we thought she lost hers haha we totally didn't even look which ones we had on. We were both Hermana Homer yesterday haha the boys in our district are crazy but i love them so much. They made this rap about being here at the CCM and our teacher thought it was so funny. We learn so much every single day and Hermano Vargas our cute little afternoon teacher pulled me and Hermana Homer to the side and thanked us for putting so much effort into learning and told us we were progressing so much. It was so awesome to hear that cause we teach him every other day and didn't think we were really progressing. The temple was amazing today and i don't think i have ever felt more peace in my life. I play lots of soccer haha surprise! For some reason everyone knows our first names and so every time someone meets me they are always like Hey you are Macey the soccer player haha i'm just like yeahh i guess haha We got soccer jerseys made for us yesterday and i cant wait to wear them cause everyone that has one always wears it playing soccer. We have these two super cute latino friends who left for their missions on monday. We will miss them so much because they would help us with our spanish and we helped them with their english. Its been super fun giving the newbys advice cause we know how they feel. I really love it here and i have so much desire to go to California and teach the people already. I love and miss you guys so much!! Never turn down an opportunity to serve someone. Service has become so important to me. I hope you guys have a great week!! I love you all and you guys are my everything.

Sinceramente,

Hermana Gates:)
