Hola everyone!!
I officially have been at the MTC for over a month, and I
have under 2 weeks left. The time really has flown by, and I am excited to get
my travel plans tomorrow, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. My
Spanish has grown so much, and I can truly say that during my lessons we teach,
God blesses his Missionaries who haven't spoken the language for longer
than a month with the ability to understand and speak in a foreign language. I
am nowhere near fluent outside of my lessons, but day by day the progression
has been so fun to experience.
Other than class, not much has really happened here. There
has been a wildfire nearby, so we got a lot of heavy smoke on day recently from
that fire, but it has been clear recently. I got a new companion, Elder
Sheppard, who is heading to Trinidad, an island in the Caribbean. He has been
at the MTC for his six weeks already, but will be here with me for the next two
weeks because his transfer dates did not match up. He's a great guy who has
moved around a lot in his life, but recently lived in Virginia.
I got to get my Remicade infusion for my Crohns Disease
today, which meant I finally got to leave the MTC campus for the first time in
about a month. And the first thing that I see as I walk into the waiting room
is Justin Beiber on the TV, singing his new #1 song that I didn't know. It was
the weirdest thing. In just a month he looked so much different. Time moves so
fast here. It's so funny/scary how hidden from the world missionaries at the
MTC are. We have no idea what is going on in the world.
I don't have much time today to write, but I know that I am
here preparing to do the Lord's work. I cannot wait to get out to the Baltimore
mission and just work, work, work.
I love you all, and please continue to write and email, I
love hearing from all my dear friends!!
