CCM weekly highlights

The following are Elder Wagner's weekly highlights from his time at the Lima, Peru missionary training center.
Week 1 

> the ccm is pretty interesting but super awesome!  its just hard to focus on spanish and learning the lessons and then trying to teach them in spanish! haha pretty stressful but i am still loving it and my purpose is what gets me up and my testimony is growing so much! i gotta just have faith and keep putting the effort forth!  i know it will come in time!! well anyway i basically sit in class all day and then play soccer then sit in class the whole rest of the day! its pretty killer!  But here in the ccm it is really an emotional roller coaster! i feel the spirit super strong then feel frustrated the feel like crap for like 5 minutes then feel on top of the world again with the spirit! i definataly feel great more than most of the time but i for sure have a hard time every once and a while but never more than a few hours for sure!! but i am still just working my butt off and doing my best and trying to stay as focused as possible!!

> OH! i am district leader in my district, so i am in charge of the district for the first 3 weeks! its such a blessing! my district is so diverse but soo awesome at the same time! its so much fun to be with some cool people! the spirit i am able to feel with them as we do district meetings and stuff is amazing!! I love the spirit here in the ccm!! i love this place soo much!

> haha quick story, there was this one kid who was like dieing of diahrea on the day we had a devotional and so at the devo the mission presidents wife went up to the mic and was like "if any of you have-had diarrhea please raise your hand, i NEED to know now!" haha everyone broke out laughing and people went up and told her, it was great! haha the food doesnt bother me and i like it a lot! but i can feel the weight coming on because i eat so much rice and bread!! gotta work out harder i guess!! 

> ! i got to go to the temple today and i LOVED it! i love the spirit i can feel in the temple and the love my Savior shows me not only in the temple but every day here in the ccm!! i just am in love with my mission, peru, and this amazing gospel!!
