Makall is alive and well, Loving the MTC

Here is Makall's 1st letter home, yes short and sweet!

 April 17, 2013 (yes she did get the year wrong:)

 Querdo Mamam y Papa I am alive and well! I have had the most amazing few days here at the CCM (MTC in Espanol) :) My companion is Hermana Haggard. She is so amazing! She is basically fluent in Espanol so I am very blessed. I told her everything she says in Espanol she has to repeat in English so I will pick it up quickly. She is so sweet and is from Fargo North Dakoda. We got along since the minute we met.

 Well we have been SO busy already . The Lords work is alive and well. We started class the minute we got here and learned to pray and bear a simple testimony in Esanol. My Espanole es muy horrible but the gift of tongues is so real!! It’s crazy how much I understand, I just need to be more comfortable opening my mouth more. We are teaching our 1st “investigator” in Espanol Tomorrow, It will be hard but so rewarding! I am actually starting to think in Espanole already! Only a bit but it is coming! We have 6 hermana’s in our room with 1 bano…..It’s a little hard but they are all so amazing. I know this is where I am supposed to be! I have not cried once . So be proud. I just love it here! It is so hard and the days feel so long, a little overwhelming but I know the Lord will be with me every step of the way!

 I guess I will share my simple testimony en Espanol with you:

 Yo sé que Jesucristo es el Salvador y la expiación es un don poderoso. Yo sé que la iglesia es verdadera. Yo sé que Jesucristo es el Redentory el es amoroso. Este testimonio me ayuda a vivir feliz y superar desafios y tener espernza. Yo sé que mi Padre Celestial me ama. Esta es mi testimonio pequeno. En el nombre de Jesucristo, Amén. I love youand miss you but I am alive and well, and working very hard!! Tu amor!!! Amor, Hermana Chatwin

 Here is the translation of her testimony thanks to Jim:

I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Atonement is a powerful gift. I know the Church is true. I know that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer and he is loving. This testimony helps me to live happy and to overcome challenges and to have faith. I know that my heavenly father loves me. This is my small testimony. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
