THIS IS MY LAST P DAY AT THE MTC!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOO!! when i opened my call i never thought this day would come! After my first Sunday in the MTC my departure date looked waaaaaaay too close!! Then i blinked and here we are!! Dang!!
First off let me tell you about this week:
I
GOT FIVE PACKAGES THIS WEEK!! WHAT THE HECK!!???!! I HAVE THE BEST
FAMILY EVER!!!!! THank you so much for the chocolate Gramma, we ate all
of it during zone prayer! Grandpa Jeff, We scarfed down your brown sugar
butterscotch cookies... we are attempting to save some for our
flight... we will see how that goes! Aunt Jenni OREOS!!!!! WE ABOUT WET
OUR PANTS WHEN WE OPENED THAT BOX THIS MORNING!!!! Thank you
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yesterday
we had In field training all day. It's training elders and sister who
are leaving do... you practice contacting and other stuff like that. The
first half was boring but the second half was super awesome!!! I
learned that if you are genuine and have the spirit with you, you can't
fail!!
This whole week and a half i have been
straining to find Elder Carol!! I was so worried i was going to leave
without seeing him!! Funnily enough he got called on to answer a
question during training!! LOL!!! So during i break i ran around and
said hello!! I also saw him this morning while i was waiting for my
clothes in the dryer! Sorry no picture of us together!!
Last
night Sister Kamaleti showed us a bunch of her mission pictures (she
went to Aukland, New Zealand) before we did Skype TRC. It got me all
jazzed to leave!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!! TRC went well last night. It
was our first skype session since last week got cancelled. The guy we
taught was IN Samoa!! CRAZY!! He was very nice! We were trying something
new during this lesson. We took in a list of points we wanted to cover
and tried to make up sentences on the spot...
ya it didn't work too well.
I
went first and I wanted to ask "Why do you think we are commanded to
attend church?" but instead i said "Why do you think we command the
church?" LOL
Bless his heart! He was like "Toe fai mai?" and i
repeated it again and he was so confused!! Sister Garvin had to jump in
and save me!! LOL!!!
On our way back from TRC
The elder's were saying goodbye to sister Kamaleti and Uso haws and
Elder Reid said "Fai eteete i lei mo'i lalolagi!" Which means be careful
of the real world! We were dying!!
They had to say goodbye because they ARE LEAVING TOMORROW AT 1pm!!!!!
WHAAAAAT?!?! We are going to be left here!! :( They have a cafe rio
count down though!! They are so excited to eat it in the airport!!
We
went to the temple and did a session together one last time!! Then we
got breakfast at the temple afterwards.... TEMPLE BREAKFAST IS WAAAAAY
BETTER THAN MTC BREAKFAST!!! TELL EVERYONE!!!!
Hmmm what else?
I
got my mission t shirt today!!! YAY!!! I ordered it from the MTC store
so that's cool! I also got this awesome t-0shirt that has a captain
america sheild on it but says captain moroni!! It's my favorite!!
Okay i really don't remember what happened the rest of the week... funny story time??
All
of the Polys are related to each other. So the 3 poly elders will be
talking about family members and one of them will always be like "OH!
you know joseph?? He's my uncle!!" its ridiculous!! So their companions
started this joke where they will pretend to do that too. "Oh you know
steven? How do you know him? From school right?" elder Damuni got
irritated with them and said "It must be from Polagi club"!!!! LOL!!!
Polagi means white or american. We were dying laughing!!
I
fell asleep during quiet time a while ago and sister Garvin threw her
pan cap at me to wake me up. she missed me and hit the door, but it
ricocheted off and hit me in the face!! BAHAHA!!!
Things I've learned from the MTC:
- The atonement can be used every minute of every day
-There are crazy people that you would never talk to that become the most incredible spiritual beings you have ever met
- Food in the MTC is nothing to look forward to
- Doing your best does include relaxation time
-Grace doesn't 'fill in the gaps', it is the gap. you just have to accept it's help.
-Heavenly
father Loves you and is mindful of you CONSTANTLY. He knows what he's
doing even when it seems like he doesn't (*cough* samoan *cough*)
-social networking is over-rated ;)
Alofa a te tatou!!!
Sister Peo
