YOOOOOO! I finally made it to the last day of the MTC. I leave for Florida super early tomorrow morning and then don't get there until 6pm tmr night. So that's gonna be a LOOOOONG travel day! I get to spend it with my companion. So that will be fun.... NOT! I am definitely looking forward to a new comp. Hopefully my trainer will work out haha!! Anyway my time at the MTC has felt like a lifetime and I swear I know like No spanish so this is gonna be wild!  This week in our spanish only speaking it was hard. I feel like I completely lose my personality when I speak spanish. I cannot really say anything more than what needs to be said. So it was a pretty quiet week. We also took our final spanish test to see how much we have learned. The goal was to get a 4 on the test. After the test my companion got mad at me for getting a high score and said I didn't teach her enough. So that was a real fun time. But ya even though I had a high score I still feel like I kno...

Good Morning everybody! I just thought I would make it known I got up at 4:30 this morning so I guess miracles do happen. My companion likes to get up and do our laundry so that is a fun time NOT. The good news is I only have 1 week left in the MTC! I have almost survived!! It has been frustrating here. I have learned some hecka patience because my companion does not like to leave the room or be outside. So I have been stuck inside a jail looking room. It's not the vibe. But I do get lots of study time so that has been good! Learning as much Spanish as possible before I leave.  This last week we can only speak Spanish no matter what. I feel decent about it. I can say what I need but not much more than that. Lots to learn still so that will be a wild ride! I get to use Spanish alot to talk to the native speakers in our branch. They can usually understand what I am trying to say so that gives me hope haha!  This week we had a devotional with Marcus B Nash from the 70. ...

What is up everyone?! Crazy I have been a missionary for 1 month today! Time low key flies but then at the same time it feels like a lifetime haha! Nothing very exciting happened this week, just the same thing everyday. Still no exercise or anything so that is annoying. I just wanna play some intramurals right now lol.    Another kinda cool experience is that Sister Bonnie H Cordon got called to our branch last week. I have had a few times where I have had to do something for the Sisters in our branch and she and I are just chillin. I would take a selfie with her but everyone else fan girls and I am not about to do the same haha. My biggest flex though is that she has a selfie with me on her phone lol. Really it's just been a cool experience to get to be around her and hear her experience and advice. Not very many people can say they have been tucked into bed by her but our branch can lol!  One quick spiritual thought this week comes from my Personal Study....

HEYO!! Another week down! This one was a little bit faster! My entire district got super sick this last week. Don't tell but we definitely had the Rona. We had classes but some got cut pretty short because everyone was hecka sickie! We spent much more time laying around and chillin but everyone is doing better now!  Our classes are only in Spanish now so that makes it hard. But I have been surprised with how much I understand. I am just timid to talk. I gotta just drop my pride and start speaking!  One super cool experience I had this week was on fast Sunday. Our branch is LEGIT! We have all the missionaries from foreign countries and then my district is like the only white kids lol. It is crazy. Anyway we actually have 16 different native languages! Samoan, Tongan, Hungarian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Mongolian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, and of course English. During sacrament there are translators in the back for each of those l...
