Another week! Well, the crazy thing is that i only have 2 more p days in the mtc until i leave!! it is getting so exciting and i really cant wait! but..it is also getting pretty intense realizing that we leave so soon and although i have learned a lot of japanese...I am not fluent! so it is getting very real here...but its so fun and i can't wait. i guess we get our travel plans this week! this thursday i think..so that is going to be crazy! but so cool! so i will let everyone know next saturdaywhen i leave and where we go and stuff! exciting things here! So this week has been really great, people said that this week and last week were kinda like "hump" weeks to get past and that they were like the slowest weeks, and they weren't horrible! i could see how people thought they were the worst, at times they did seem to drag on but over all it was a pretty good week! i did kinda have an "incident" in the gym this week though that kind of upset me for a little bit..haha. it was just that moment where i was so sick of people ALWAYS telling me what to do and over such silly things. I was playing 4 square and this guy played a soft shot into my square so i kinda leaned forward and got it but sorta..rolled after? then the mtc people said i was gone if i did that again..it was quite funny. so i just went off in the gym and just kinda shot baskets by myself just kinda bugged that i was getting in trouble for something so childish! through out the rest of the day i was just kinda in a bad mood, really for no reason until i got to class and we started with a spiritual thought. I don't even remember what our teacher said, but suddenly i felt so much better and just realized that i was doing good and i should be grateful for everything i have and not be upset for something so silly..the rest of the night went great and i really learned that you know things are definitely not going to be how i want them to be all the time in the mission. but i just have to try and be as grateful as i can for everything, and everything will be great.
So one other thing that was really cool that we had happen to us was we had a skype session of TRC! so basically what happened was we got to do like a spiritual thought through a video skype on a computer to a nihongen!(japanese person) it was so cool! i was so nervous that it would be so hard and stuff but it went really well! our guy was from kobe, japan and he was such a nice guy! we talked to him about prayer and just how it was important and how it can bless our lives. he was a member, so he was really nice to us and would help us if our sentences were a little off. WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! it got me so excited to finally get to japan and be teaching like that all day everyday! it was scary at first, but once we were going it was so fun, and i just loved every second of it!
Really this week has been great though and i really have come to love the mtc. there are definitely some things that are getting old..the food..some people;) haha but i really do love it and i am realizing now that i am going to miss it! but i am so excited to leave, and it is just coming so fast i cant believe it. I love all of you so much and just know how much i appreciate you all! i will talk to you all soon...love you!!!!!
your elder,
