This week is basically my half way point for the MTC! I have a little less than 3 weeks here! It feels like I have been here forever. I am really excited to go to Mexico, even if it is almost 100 degrees in Merida this week!!!!
One of our teachers is leaving this week, he's worked here for a while and he is getting a real person job. We are going to miss him so much, he is our favorite.
Last Sunday Hermana Wood and I played Nearer My God To Thee (I played piano and she played violin) for the Relief Society meeting for all the sisters in the MTC! It went so well and it was pretty fun!
I saw Sister (Debbie?) Smith, from our stake! Ray Smith is in a branch presidency at the MTC so I saw her at Main Campus.
Fun Fact: The wife of one of the counselors in our branch presidency is from Orem and babysit Neal and/or his siblings when he was little. Kind of a fun connection. I remembered that Lynn was a bishop so that's how we found that out. I don't know her maiden name!! But her married name is Durfey.
Spanish is coming, and I can understand most things in the lessons we teach! But there's a lot to learn. I am SO glad I already knew some Spanish before we came. I can't imagine starting from scratch. I still have a long ways to go.
Sometimes we catch a bus to come to main campus to eat lunch, we have just done that a few times. But it is fun to have a change of scenery. The 2 campuses seem so different, and sometimes I forget how to greet people in English because we also do it on Spanish with all the missionaries on West Campus. I'm also to the point where the only songs stuck in my head are hymns haha.
There is a lot I didn't know about missionary work, or more like I'm just learning so much more everyday!! The Lord's work is hastening, whether we are a part of it or not. But we get the opportunity to have a front row seat of watching people change their lives as they grow closer to the Savior. We teach pretend investigators but we feel so much love for them!!! It's awesome. It is so cool how the gospel applies to all of our needs and as we help them know how they grow in the gospel with faith and prayer and the scriptures. The scriptures are like a text book, and we have a lot of tests that we go through, but guess what. It's an open book test! WE have the answers and the way to receive revelation and guidance through the scriptures and we can access them at anytime!
Especially with all the technology! If you have a smart phone, you can have all the standard works and everything just in a little place! So cool.
Well, Hope y'all are having a good week and that the business is going well!
Today I have my last dentist appointment and I will get my crowns! Yay! And see Mom.
I love you so much and miss you so much.
I can't really think of many specific things to tell you guys but I hope that this is enough! Ask me any questions I guess.
Also dearelders are the best too. Mom- thank you so much for sending me a bunch! They are great.
