FAMILY! how are you guys? right now as i type this sams letter that she wrote to the elders in my district is now getting passed around the whole zone. sam be expecting lots of letters. you better have a good surprise too. we are all wondering what its going to be. and i just got done writing you guys a letter. im loving the mtc and my district and my teacher. im starting to like spanish. its just hard to love something after hating it for so long and try and learn it after so long of training yourself to turn out the language. but here is a recap of my week.
so sunday. we have church just like normal and lotsss and lotts of studying. in the night time we had a devotional. it was about prayer and how we need to be prayerful missionaries. it was good. best part was though the opening hymn we sang. we sang "we will bring the world his truth" as a whole mtc. SO GOOD. like we are all sitting there as missionaries in the mtc going to different parts of the world and LITERALLY bringing the world the gospel. now im not sure if it was cool cause of my obession and desire to travel the world or cool becuase im singing it as a missionary. so im just going to combine both reasons. oh and we had a temple walk too. it was weird to leave to the real world. i ran into this little brown girl there. LOVE YOU ROOMS (plz send this to her so she can see her shoutout). and every sunday night we have movie night! YAY! and listen to how funny this was: so we watched the legacy and there is this part where the two characters kiss and all these elder break out into "AWEEEEE YEAH" and cheers. it was freaking funny. missionaries are THE WEIRDEST people ever. the mission is going to kill my sense of humor. i know it is.
after sunday my days really just blur together so im not really sure what happened what day after that.
every tuesday morning we have service. can anyone please guess what i had to do??? clean BOYS bathrooms. um i barely cleaned my and lushes bathroom last semester and i know that we were the only two people that used it. why did no one tell me that turning in mission papers was actually signing up to clean boys bathrooms? and listen to what happened to me. so our investigator that i told you about, fabian, (who in fact i have confirmed is a teacher here dressed up as an investigator) but we have been teaching him the past couple days. so i think it was yesterday? or tuesday? but we had planned on teaching him the restoration and the first vision. i decided it would be cool to memorize the first vision in spanish so i could recite it to him. so i spent the WHOLE day doing this. seriously i was stoked to go teach him cause i had worked so hard on it and was gettting it down so good. so during the lesson i go in there to say it and im doing it perfect until i got to the last line when its supposed to say "this is my beloved son" i said "this is my beloved daughter" EPIC FAIL. seriously i was hoping no one would notice but i look over and the two elders im teaching with cant even breathe cause they are laughing so hard and fabian has a book over his face and he is trying so hard to keep in character. it was so funny. i feel like this wont be the last time that happens either. every tuesday night we have a devotional again. this week we had elder nelson come and speak. it was pretty good. it was cool to sit so close. i was sitting next to elder asay, who is in my district and he leans over to me when hes speaking and says "is it bad if i dont know who that is" hahah YES IT IS. hes only an apostle. it was funny.
im trying to think of anything else that happened this week....
oh here it is. i have found a downside to being a solo sister. i know i didnt think it was possible but it is. so i went to the bathroom earlier this week in the middle of personal study time. aunt flo had indeed come for her monthly visit but unfortunatly, i did not have the necessary tools to fix this problem. i had to go back to my room to get these "tools" but in order to do that i had to ask two elders to escort me back. so i walk back into class and ask "can any of you guys walk me back to my dorm?" then they start grilling me..."why? what do you need? why do you need to go back there?" uhhhhhhhh. so awkward.
so ive got about a minute left. if i think of anything else ill just write it home. next week ill figure out what i want to write you before i sit down so its not as scatterbrained. BUT I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! and thank you so much mom, sam, tyler, lush, david, amy, and the donaldsons for the letters.. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!
LOVE YOU!! cant wait to hear back and talk to you guys next week!
and i have a letter here for david and laura. they both gave me there address but they both have different zip codes which doesnt make sense to me. can you help me figure out if i have the right zip codes and dear elder me so i can send them off tomorrow? i have 84601 for laura and 84604 for david. and can you get me amys address so i can write her back? <3 u.
