FLIGHT PLANS & Happy Thanksgiving from the MTC
Hola y'all!
This week was so amazing, and it went by so fast, but I have tons to share. Ok so Wednesday (aka Thanksgiving Eve) we were teaching "investigators" and mine said she lost her grandchild last week, but I thought she said "she got a grandchild last week" and I said FELICIDADES!! which is "congratulations" and wow. BAD way to go. So I'm literal Satan. Good thing we have forgiveness am I right??
THANKSGIVING. Ok so we started the morning with a devotional by NEIL L. ANDERSON and all of his grandkids came and gave us cute little cards, and the whole talk was on gratitude, and wow it was straight fire. I started crying during the devotional (shocker) and I started getting so homesick cause I was missing this holiday and black friday shopping, and all fun things, but then I realized after during our service project that this mission isn't about me, we packaged 359000 meals for the needy, and honestly it was such an amazing experience. We need to forget ourselves and go to work! For dinner we had PB & J sandwiches and had a musical devotional which was SO FUN. OH AND THEN THEY TURNED ON THE LIGHTS OUTSIDE. So yea we have a mini temple square. (pics included)
Friday (aka black friday) we had our last lesson with Mauribel and it was so sad! We had to say bye to her and we taught her Lesson 5 in PMG. She is on awesome lady. OH did I mention, WE GOT OUR FLIGHT PLANS?!?!?! I have to leave at 3:30 IN THE MORNING on monday for Lubbock. I'm so excited!!!!!
Saturday I read a ton about Limhi in the book of Mosiah, honestly Mosiah is the best. All of the elders started parting their hair in the middle now, so we created a new fashion trend here at the good ole MTC. Then Sunday came around and I got to play piano for a musical number with some of the newbie missionaries, they sounded so good!! And then me and my companions taught relief society on the topic "enduring to the end" honestly it was fire. Oh and it snowed here. SNOW. so we've been having lots of snowball fights and snowmans in the making. That night we had a devotional by Elder Allen (social media person for church I think??) and it was all about Marriage and locking our hearts. He made everyone stand if they had been Dear Johnned or if they had a significant other writing them, and just stuff like that, it was honestly the funniest devotional I've been too. AND THEN we got to watch Meet the Mormons 2!!
Monday we taught Bety and Marifer and the gift of tongues light switch was on during the lessons, honestly the spirit was so strong! And then we got evaluations on how we teach so that was WAY helpful. Then hermana swann taught us how to teach "La ley de castidad" (aka the law of chastity) it was a bit awkward at first (just imagine 12 people under the age of 20 learning this) but we eventually got teaching and it went so good!! haha
Honestly the MTC is so fun, and I'm so glad for my experience here. I've met people that have changed my life forever, and I don't think I've ever been so close to the spirit before until now. But as much as I love the MTC I'm so excited to leave for Texas on monday!! I haven't been able to stop singing the Texas song lol. I have loved the support from all of my MTC friends and my family and everyone else that has helped me get to where I am. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL.
con mucho amor,
hermana neilson
