In the blink of an eye

 

It’s crazy to think that my time in the mtc is almost up. I leave next Tuesday at 7 in the morning and will be in OKC by 3. It feels like I just got here, my time here has been soo fun and I have learned so much. 

 Tuesday: we dropped off the district that was leaving and that was super sad because we got really close to them and they were super funny and great examples. We then went to the temple, I look forward to the temple all week. I love going to the temple, it is soo peaceful and such an amazing place. We then came back and elder iongis mom had send him the biggest box ever. It was filled with chips and candy and we got lava lavas so I wear mine every day at night. Elder Iongi shared the whole box with everyone and has been a great example on how to share.

 Wednesday: I woke up sick and really tired and couldn’t stay awake during class or anything it was really bad ahahah. We got to host the new missionaries again and that is my favorite I didn’t see anyone I knew but it was still fun. We did meet this little girl names Addie that we talked to and she was really funny. She was only three but we asked her if she was being dropped off for here mission and she said not yet I’m not old enough but said she would go on one. We then got to teach people on skype which was pretty fun but hard because the computer kept cutting out so we couldn’t hear what the person was saying ahaha. I weighed myself today and I almost cried because in the blink of an eye I went from 175 to 190 ahhaha but I’m back down to 185 now so I’m trying to lose weight ahah. 

 Thursday: I woke up still sick but had energy to do stuff and it was great. I was able to focus and study in class. Not much happened Wednesday, I saw one of my friends from high school. 

Friday: Today I went to the doctor because everyone in our district was sick and one of the Hermanas had some sickness so I and Elder Iongi went to just make sure we didn’t have anything. I felt like a total softy for going. I was clean but Elder Iongi had to go get meds so we got to leave campus!!!! Man the real world is crazy jk, we just walked down the street to the pharmacy. We got our travel plans and it was so exciting! That’s all we talked about during class ahahah. 

Saturday: we had service today and we had to vacuum the stairs again. I don’t mind service I’m excited to serve out in the field. We then taught our fake investigator and it was so hard for some reason. I knew how to answer his question but just couldn’t. One of the sister across the hall looked really familiar so I started talking to here and we had hung out before the mission ahah I find all these weird connections all over the place. We made a 4 square court in the dorms so we play that at night ahah it’s really fun.

Sunday: Sundays are always the best not only because it’s Sunday and p-day is soon but we all get to take the sacrament and have a devotional. Every Sunday at church we have to write a talk and the branch presidency chooses a Hermana and an elder to speak and nobody knows who it is until after the sacrament, I thought it was going to be me this week but it wasn’t ahahha so maybe next week. We had a great devotional by some guy who is just forgot his name but he did really good ahahh. I then watched the Missions are forever by Elder Holland and it was amazing. I met Zach Selyss from the BYU basketball team. He is super cool and really nice.

Monday: I just love Mondays because p-day is the next day ahahh. Today was great we asked one of our teachers all class about the field and stuff like that and it got me so excited to go serve and teach people, I finally get to do what I came here for and I can’t wait. Today at lunch I asked Elder Selyss for some fries and he said “anything for you" I guess you could say we are bffs. He looks up to me figuratively but looks down to me literally. so at the end of the day, my district and this district next to us who has an elder that was on American idol who is amazing at singing, got together and started singing hymns and then all of a sudden everyone on the whole bottom floor was around us and we all started singing hymns and the spirit was soo strong and it was sooo coool.
