Hola! Como le va? Estoy muy felic! Do you want to know why?? Because I get a package tonight!! Yay for packages! Do you want to know what else makes me super happy? Papa John's pizza night at the MTC! Me gusta pizza! We weighed in today and sadly I have gained a whole pound since being at the MTC. I blame the pizza. They let us have 5 slices each... And of course the Elders don't listen and they eat like 10-15 each. And then they still have left overs and I got cold pizza for breakfast the next day! Best breakfast ever!
Well, the MTC is
still going great! I have not learned as much Spanish this week as
previous weeks though.. We hit a wall. But next week we will be on our A
game! We have three "investigators" we are currently teaching and two
of them are our teachers, so they try to help us out and stuff, but one
is a volunteer, and he does not help us out.. So our lessons mostly
consist of us asking him to repeat himself and him asking us to rephrase
our sentences until they make more sense. But we are getting better!
And we understand way more now! It is slowly coming!
Sheri
Dew came and taught our Relief Society lesson this week and We listened
to a talk by Elder Bednar after Sunday Devotional. Sheri Dew talked
about women and the priesthood and it was really good! And Elder Bednar
told the missionaries to get over ourselves. So I wrote in my journal,
"Get over yourself" like 5 times. Maybe it will help. And then of course
he told us to turn outwards and serve others like Christ did, instead
of turning inwards like the natural-man does.
One
thing I thought about this week is... Why hasn't anyone tried to bomb
the MTC yet? In a not-so-scary way. But seriously. We have over 3000
missionaries in one room at one time for devotionals all the time. You'd
think Satan would be working harder to end missionary work, because
those 3000 missionaries will go out and touch thousands of lives. Maybe
people do try to attack the MTC and we were just protected and we have
just never heard about it. I thought about that after I watched a mormon
message about the Twin Towers, so it wasn't random I promise.
But
really, this is the only religion in the world that could get over
80,000 teenagers and a few 22 year-olds to leave their homes, study for
months and months to learn a language and learn the doctrine better, and
teach and serve for 1.5-2 years. If the message was not true, this
would never happen, I can promise you that.
It's been a
good week and a good 3 weeks! Less than 3 to go before Costa Rica baby!!
:) I am still learning and growing and enjoying my time!
Items of buisness...
1. Mom you don't speak French either.
2.
My companion's mom sent me a shower cap and a note! She sent her
daughter one too, because she heard we both don't wash our hair very
often... Hahah but she wants you, mom, to text her sometime or call her
and chat. Her number is . . . . I sent the mom your number and name already as well.
3. Maddie never wrote me a letter... Or an email... Make her do it before the big wedding day! Or she never will!
4.
Do I have a missionary plaque? Can you send me a picture of it? I think
he probably messed up on my scripture, because I was confusing about
it, but I want to see it!
5. I haven't seen the Wynn boy yet... But I have been looking!
6. Poor Suki. :( Stop teasing her! :( I miss her!
7.
Your blog skills are impressive! And I am surprised that name hasn't
been taken already! Good job mom! Yes, I peaked at it real quick. But my
companion was watching and the site isn't blocked, so that means it is
okay.
8. I think that is all....
9. Happy late birthday to Kami!!
10. Happy late 24th of July to everyone!
I love you all muchos!! Have a great week and stay happy and safe!! Love you! Adios!
Love,
