This week actually went pretty slow because I am leaving
on Sunday to go to Peru. I'm really excited to leave and get to my
mission and start sharing the gospel to everyone in Peru! I feel like I
don't know enough Spanish, but I know if I continue to do what is right
and study then He will help me!
This last week has been really fun. My district has become so close so it's gonna be weird leaving! But on Sunday we did
what is called the cereal challenge!
Basically you get your whole district together and you try to empty
out one of the cereal containers before they refill it. So our district
ate 49 bowls of Marshmallow Mateys in 13 minutes! I came in clutch with
7 bowls in under 10 minutes so that was such a fun time! I didn't have
cereal the rest of the time I was here, but it was still good - haha.
Another fun time our district had was celebrating my companion's
birthday! His real birthday is on the 2nd of October, but we are not
going to be together so we celebrated it early! We had a cake, sang
happy birthday, and we talked and had a good time together! Also we had
those birthday blower things that were super fun to play with, so it
was a party - haha!
So my friend, Rian, now Sister Holmes, came to the MTC on
Wednesday! It was so much fun to catch up with her before I leave! She
is going to be a wonderful missionary. So grateful for the opportunity
to serve at the same time as her!
So this week was way weird with our TRC's! The lady, Yaisa who we
were teaching, they totally switched it on us and so then we taught
another lady named Blanca! Our first appointment with her, she told us
that her friend died the day before so that was way sad! We taught her
the plan of salvation and it was really good! Throughout the week we had
8 TRC's. 2 of them were in English which was so weird, but we taught a
lady named Katie. Then we had 3 with Blanca and all of them were really
good! The other two were with members, both in Spanish. It was a little
weird because we are used to teaching nonmembers but it was good! It was
a good experience to learn. It was kind of sad with all our last TRC's
because we can't teach them anymore, but I am excited to get into Peru
and teach the people there.
I am so grateful that I was able to come to the Provo
MTC and have such a loving, kind, fun, and supportive district! We have
had so much fun together. We have had spiritual experiences together and
it has been a wonderful 6 weeks!
I am so grateful for all the things I have learned about
the gospel and how to rely on the Lord in everything I do! I have
learned so much and I have loved my time in the MTC!
Thanks for everyone supporting me while on my mission; it has been great! Next time I'll be sending this from Peru!
