Howdy everyone!!
So this week was really fun, and it went by fast, days here feel like weeks but the weeks feel like days, its so crazy! so to start off i wanted to share a spiritual experience. so during one of the night classes my teacher asked me if i would pretend to be an investigator, so i said sure, the investigator i was playing was a man named Chris, chris and his family one night were driving and were hit by a drunk driver. The accident caused Chris´s wife, there unborn child, and there daughter. Chris and his two sons survived. Now i had to pretend that i didnt believe in God and that if there is a God he doesnt care about us. Now my teacher and one of my other classmates were giving the lesson to me, by the way this is all in spanish. While they were giving me the lesson i started to get super emotional because i honestly felt like i was chris and that What the "missionaries" were saying were true. I honestly understood about half of the spanish words that they said, but because the spirit was there he helped me understand what they were trying to say. i don't know if that quite makes sense but it was super cool to experience, then on top of that i was speaking back to them and a lot of the words coming out my mouth i have never said before, so it was an awesome experience.
The next spiritual thing i want to share, was the next day our teacher asked us to write a letter like we were in heaven before we came down, and write the letter to someone as if they were going to be one of our investigators in our mission in the future. It was really cool to see what other people said and what i thought i would say and it honestly made me feel very loving and excited to get to my mission. okay now for a funny story, i was asked to play the piano in sacrament for our branch. The first song i played was Nearer my God to thee, and i did a pretty good job. Then the sacrament song came, and i kept messing up, and not a little bit but alot, so i just stopped playing and sang, haha and to make it worse was the fact that one of the presidents of the MTC happened to be at our branch that day! I was really embarrased but oh well. Then to make it even more worse, the whole time he was sitting up front of everyone and giving his talk he starred right at me! hahaha.
So I love sundays because 1. they have a different schedule than the rest of the week. 2. Devotionals are always really good, last sunday we heard a talk by Elder Bednar about its what you feel that matters, not what you think. 3. Movies, I love the sunday night movies!!! well after the sunday movie, a sister in my district asked me to give her a blessing of health and comfort, this was my first one. It was an awesome experience!!
Okay also one thing i have learned that helps a ton, Is your attitude, there are a lot of missionaries who have bad attitudes and when you have a bad attitude missions are hard. I learned this through watching some of the missionaries in my district. So i have made a committment to always do my best to have a good attitude.
Tuesday like sundays are also awesome. It starts off as half of the day learning and studying then the second half is full of gym, service project such as folding sheets, a devotional, and best of Costco Pizza!! haha.
I hope everyone is doing great! everything here in the Mexico MTC is as good as usually, by the way no the hurricane in Mexico didnt have any impact on us! By the way its always great to hear how everyones doing, so please send a letter at letter@mtcmexicocarepackage.
Ps sorry if i spell things wrong, for some reason learning spanish has messed with both my English vocab and grammer and also my spanish vocab and grammer.
