This week has been one with ALOT!! of emotions. Good and bad and scared and super nervous and maybe some breaking down moments! haha but that's alright! I didn't realize how hard no.. how different of a hard the mission would be! Now if it was like outdoor work I could do it! But never in my life had I had to sit down for 6 hours in one day and just study study gah.. it's killing me, but"! I love it! haha This week not much went on besides on Sunday ya know?
We had in field training on Thursday it was the best thing ever you seriously sit all day and you get taught what you've learned this whole time it was awesome...But no gym! I have gained 5 pounds here! yippie! I love it!! Seriously though I do.. its hard but I love the hard..bring it!
But I'll just tell you about Sunday because that was the most exciting part of the week!
Sunday: well since we are leaving in sacrament meeting we did the sacrament prayers and everything in Spanish it was cool but also the district that is leaving bears their testimonies and so yeah I did and everything but it was super cool! We could do it in English so i did it in ENGLSIH!! yeah! !haha but it was cool I bore witness about Christ! and everything! I loved it! I didn't know how powerful it was till I got down and people were giving me deer in the headlights looks and girls were crying and guys giving me fist bumps and everything and I got a super sweet note and it said ... quote ..You truly know how to testify and you have changed my life.... haha I was like thanks man! and then 2 other guys girls came up to me saying how grateful they were it was cool! I love bearing my testimony! so I did 3 times that day! We had a devotional today! haha and GUESS WHAT!=? guess who had to say the opening prayer in front of 500 missionaries? yup me in Spanish! haha I was like GULP!! surreee.. So yeah that's a once in a lifetime! cool! Then we had a great night! Everybody who is leaving stayed for 30 minutes for their testimonies and I felt a prompting to get up so I did and bore witness again of being missionaries and the great work and obligation to have to serve! even more people thanked me! it was a good day!
Now.... I am just absolutely nervous to go but I know it will be good! The lord will protect! I just hope you will all pray for me! I love you guys all soo very much! I am soo grateful to come to the Mexico city MTC!! It was an incredible experience! and I loved it!! The Spirit is soo dang strong here! I love it!!
