WUT WUT. WUT. WUT. WUT WUT.
Monday
afternoon, Hna. McCulloch and I got letters saying we were flying to
Vegas Tuesday morning to get our visas. How did we get SO lucky.
Everyone complains when they have to fly to Vegas because it apparently
sucks. Butttttt we had SO much fun! We got to eat real food, talk to
real people, and see the outside world! So crazy. McCulloch and I
basically took the lead and made sure everyone was where they needed to
be. A super nice lady bought us breakfast at like 6 in the morning, and
that night when we got home a returned missionary bought us hot
chocolate from Starbucks! How lucky am I to be a missionary? We all know
how much I love food. :)
The MTC is so great. Really. I love it here. Our
little district never wants to leave each other. We are seriously
family. The elders leave on Monday so we will have the smallest district
in the zone. SO SAD. But we got a new district of just elders and they
rock. They already talk to us SO much. Way cool. You missed it. We just
freaked out because we got an email from one of our friends that just
left for Mexico. We freaked out. TOOOOO CUTE.
I was sitting in class last night and I was just on
the verge of tears. I don't feel like I'm improving at all. With spanish
OR teaching. My teacher looked at me and said, "Hermana. Stop it. You
can't see it, but you're just as good as people that have been in the
field for months." He's pretty straight forward with me. Every time I
start feeling like this, he knows what to say. Such a good guy. Then we
taught another teacher, Hermana Captain, but not as an investigator. As
herself. It was really neat to get to know her and find out what SHE
needed as a real person. She was having trouble with her faith in God
and Christ. She felt like they didn't love her and she was alone. I
related to her SO much. We connected a ton and I was able to help her
out. She said that a lot of what we talked about hit her really hard.
Once I get to Mexico, I know that there will be people that I can relate
to and help. THAT'S what I'm excited for.
Companionships are hard. But we are working at it
little by little every day. This is why I didn't get married right out
of high school. Seriously.
PARENTALS. I will
be mailing that box back next week sometime. Currently using it to
decide what I'm taking to mexico with me and what I'm leaving behind. If
you could send me a new pair of black tights, I would be SO grateful.
Mine ripped last week. Killer calf muscles, ya know?
Te amo! I love you all and I miss you like crazy!
Thanks so much for the letters and the packages! I got more pictures
from the Facers and CRIED again. Too cute. This work is SO true. I know
that we are all sent to this Earth to do something amazing. I know that
my district is supposed to be my district for a reason. I'm supposed to
have these certain teachers, because they can help me. As hard as this
language is, it will come. Through prayer, and faith in the Atonement
and Christ, I know it will come.
Love love love love love you so much!
Remember!!!
The church is true.
The book is blue.
And God loves you.
