Mina San!(everyone)
Can you believe that this is really the last week i will be spending here in the mtc?? what?! where has the time gone!? i really feel like i was just dropped off at the mtc, just a rookie here, and now i am leaving! it seriously just does not seem like it has been two months...but i am glad that these first two months have gone fast! i look at where i was when i got here..both spiritually and with the language and it is crazy how far i have come! i am not saying that i wasn't spiritual before or anything...but the spirit that is in the MTC is so special..and i can tell that i have grown soo much from being here. we are so blessed to have had this MTC no keiken(experience) and i feel so blessed to be going out so prepared! our teachers tell us how they were here for the full 12 weeks, and they explain how they still weren't as prepared as we are now, because the only time they ever taught was during TRC, which is only once a week. here in the MTC i have probably taught up to 40 lessons here, and i just feel like that has given us such a step ahead and that we will be so much more ready for when we are really teaching, because we have already taught 40 times before! Its very exciting and i feel so blessed.

This week has really just been pretty chill..nothing has really happened because we have just been on the last week..and it has been pretty relaxed, which has been nice! one thing that was kind of crazy this week was that we taught our last lessons to our investigators(which as you know are just our teachers) but it was really sad! we commited both of ours to baptism, which was awesome! but it was sad to tell them(even though they know we are leaving) that we were on our last lesson and that we were leaving the area! they told us we had to come to their baptism and we said we would;) haha but it was a really sad thing! i never even thought that as part of my mission i would be this close to the people in my district and my teachers! our teachers are incredible..seriously incredible and it is so sad that after being with them almost every day for 2 straight months we are leaving them! i keep telling them that i am coming to visit in two years since they just live here in provo..;) we'll see what happens haha! also it is just sad to leave our district! i know that most of us are going to tokyo and that we will be able to see each other every so often..but it just isn't going to be the same! it is sad..plus the three in our district going to sendai we might never see again! so that is super sad as well..sometimes i just think i love people to much...:( i can only imagine how much harder its going be when we have to leave a real area, and leave real investigators..im in trouble haha.
So i wish i had more time, but i have so much crazy stuff to do on our last p day here in the mtc! once im in japan, i will hopefully have more time to email and write and i really would like to write everyone and anyone who has written me! seriously i am so blessed to have such an amazing support group and that i have such amazing family and friends sending me letters and packages! you have no idea how much i appreciate it for real...thank you! just know that i love everyone of you and i pray for you daily! i will write again from Tokyo!
Ganbatte kudasai Mina san! Arigato gozaimasu!
love,
Cottle choro
