Today is my only day that i have time to pack everything up and so I'm ready on Monday morning bright and early! We'll probably get up around 5... take a plane to Minneapolis with a lay over then to DC and I'll get to meet my mission president then the next day i get my first real companion!!
This week was just about like last week, we had the same schedule if on class in the morning that's 3 hours long and another class in the afternoon that's 3 hours long. One of the hours in the afternoon class is teaching a person who is a real person learning about our church. And it's pretty cool getting actually teach a person like it will be in the DC! :)
This week was quite interesting, getting new people in our zone ( a group of many small groups). every week there's more and more missionaries coming and every week there's some leaving. The culture and atmosphere is constantly changing here and you meet many new people it's way cool! I have love very person I've met really and got to talk to!!! But let me tell you the Elders (guys) get very immature at times but that's okay they will eventually learn, but I still love em.
This past Monday we did a service project of helping to clean the residence building we are living in! So my companion, Sister Gornichec and I got up at 6:15 cause it was at 6:25 and we were still half asleep and they told us we could cleaning the handrails for the stairs and wide down the trash cans and wipe down drinking fountains... we did the in the span of 45 mins.. came back to find another job to do cause we go till 7:45. They realize how sick and tired we looked and they said, "why don't you just go back to your room and lay down till you need to eat and go to class?" That was my favorite sentence to hear that morning! My golly did we go straight back to bed with our noses running and a tiny frog in out throat! Haha after 35 mins of a quick nap we woke up 5 mins before we had to leave and got breakfast and walked straight to class. Do I remember what happened in class that day? I hope so... cause I got extra sleep and I was happy. The funny thing is we even went to bed a little early that night.. But oh so grateful we were to the sweet custodians for letting us go lay down! :)
This week was fun, hard, yet so rewarding to finally understand how to teach others and how to teach them simply and slowly!! I hope you all can get a glimpse of the life I had here at the MTC! :)
I know that we are always watched over by our loving Father of out spirits. I know that as we pray for the things we need in faith, knowing he can and will answer us, we will received blessing and tender mercies that we never could imagine! I am grateful that I have this opportunity to share the most important thing in the universe with those in DC in 2 days! We must always remember how important the role of the Holy Ghost is in our own lives and in those around us!
Thank you all who love and support me! Love you guys and I hope all is We'll!
