This was such a good week! it's crazy to think that I will be leaving here in just a couple days!
This week we got to host the new missionaries again! It especially fun when I met one parent that spoke spanish and we were able to talk in spanish for a minute! way cool and definitely a good little spanish confidence boost!
Yesterday morning we had our last class with our morning teacher, and tonight we have our last class with our night teacher, which is definitely sad but we are all super excited to get out into our fields and serve!
Speaking of getting into the field, apparently getting a visa for Ecuador takes forever. last week we all got our flight plans for Ecuador, and there were supposed to be 13 people in my group going down to Quito, but because a bunch of people don't have their visas yet, about 10 of those people got temporarily reassigned stateside! So I only know of 3 people (myself included) who are actually flying to Quito monday morning. pretty crazy.
The MTC. I know that the MTC gets a lot of criticism and some people absolutely hate it here, but I know that I have been blessed and put here at the right time, with the right people. The MTC has been an amazing experience full of the spirit and opportunities to learn and grow every day. I know of a few people that are getting ready to come here in the next few months or so, and if I could give you any advice about it, I would say that your experience here is entirely dependent on your attitude and spirit. Strive everyday to keep yourself busy and focused, its really hard to think about home when you keep yourself busy. Your district becomes your family very very quickly. During one of the devotionals this week, the speaker said "There are more prayers per square foot here than anywhere else in the world." This is holy ground, it has been dedicated for learning.
I've got pretty much all of my stuff packed up now and we are all ready to ship out this week. Thank you everyone for your love and prayers!
Heres another picture of our district! starting tomorrow we are going to be flying all over the place! 3 of the hermanas got temporarily reassigned. 1 is going to New Hampshire, 1 is going to Tempe, AZ, and the other is going to Seattle. but after the first transfer they should all be flying down to Quito! Also, my companion Elder Sharp got temporarily reassigned to Riverside, CA.
Everyday that I have been here, I have always sat in the same chair and written in my journal before going to bed. 2 other elders joined me and we called ourselves "the Study Circle." this is us
I dont know why it wont let me turn this picture the correct direction. I decided to get one of these super cool mission shirts.
This is our morning class teacher, Hermano Silva and all of us missionaries
