OH MY GOODNESS ONLY 3 1/2 days til HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
weird............
ANYHOO....Hey y'all!!! So I figured I'd start out this weeks letter listing off some of my favorite things about the MTC :)
1.) It NEVER gets old to be stopped at LEAST twice a day by random elders and sisters and asked if we can listen to them bear their testimony in some other language :D I've officially heard Ukranian, Albanian, Romanian, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish (LOTS of spanish) aaaaaannnnnnddd I think that's it....NO! Russian! :D There we go :)
2.) Walking down the halls....why? Well have you ever seen Juno? You know how she sorta parts the red seas with her big belly when walking down the high school halls? Yeah, being a sister missionary, we tend to part the Red Seas wherever we walk ^_^ it's pretty hilarious, and makes for getting to places MUCH quicker because all the elders are jumping out of your way AND opening the doors for you *living the high life, not gonna lie :)
3.) Choir - because for once, the guys out number the girls....and boy is it a STUPENDOUS sound! And conveniently the sisters and I sit on the side of the Elders and hearing about 50 Elders sing Base....yeah.....THAT my friend, is MUSIC! :D
4.) Fridays - Sally Bradly! EVERY FRIDAY IS PIZZA DAY!!!!! So to me it's like living back at your place ^_^ although Papa Johns isn't NEARLY as good as Papa Murphy's it still brings a HUGE smile to my face and makes me think of you every week :)
5.) Seeing William. Granted, I STILL don't have pictures with him, BUT eventually when I run into him in the cafeteria or pass him in the halls I WILL takes pictures with the dynamic duo ruling the MTC campus! Oh, and fact: my brother is kicking everyone's butt in Spanish....no big deal......actually, I wonder if that's ok to say as a missionary................I'm just gonna go with yes :) Because well, he is.....^_^ I'm so proud of him!
Ok, so that's all the everyday things I love about the MTC, now I just HAVE to tell you about the BEST day EVER, which was on Wednesday
So it started off at Temple Square where all the visitor center sisters (5 of us) took a field trip there and got a tour like as if we were actually visitors so we can fell what the people are suppose to feel and get an idea of how to go about giving tours to the needs of the visitors :) it was pretty cool! And it was hilarious asking the sister missionaries questions about what life's like as a VC sister and then having them end with "but every VC is different!" hahahaha so I really have NO idea what it's gonna be like in Hawaii, but oh well :) Anyhoo, THEN we sung my favorite hymn in class (Let Us All Press On for those who don't know) THEN we went to the bookstore and the phone cards came in!!! yay!!! Finally! They've been out for over a week! So I'll actually be able to call home now! THEN I saw William, who I hadn't seen in DAYS so it made me happy :) THEN we had our first experience in the Referral Center with our teacher Sis. Clark!
Ok, so Sis. Clark alone needs explaination....she's awesome.....period...haha she's the tall, skinny, freckles, dark hair (brazilian, so she speaks Portugese, French AND Spanish) and she has these manuerisms that are just HILARIOUS!!! hahaha she makes her eyes all big and she moves her eyebrows up and down and she has the long skinny fingers that she wiggles when she talks with her hands and she's just HILARIOUS! haha and she got us SO pumped about being VC sisters! She shared with us all these things that are special about VC sister specifically and it was just AWESOME, our heads were SO big by the end of class I'm surprised we all fit back through the door! haha And it was so cool because she talked about how VC sisters have 3 areas, VC area, Proselyding area, and our Chat area. And we spent the class learning all about the Mormon.org chat and how to use it and how we'll be talking to these people and how we'll need to know Mormon.org, LDS.org and LDS newsroom like the back of our hand because we'll need to look up info and scriptures and talks and church statements on questions they'll have in SECONDS!! it's gonna be crazy! I'm SO excited!!! She got us SO pumped about being able to teach people online and how we'll be able to keep in contact with these people FOREVER! AH!!!! So excited!!! I can't WAIT to go to Hawaii!!!!
Oh...and no big deal but..................MY BEST FRIEND MARIEH FLETCHER GOT CALLED TO ROMANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO excited!!!!!! She's gonna be the prettiest, coolest, BESTEST missionary in Romania!!!!! HECK! She'll be the best EVER!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marieh I love you and I'm SO excited for you!!! December can NOT come fast enough! :D :D :D :D :D
Anyhoo, so because I leave in like 3 days it's probably best if you all start sending mail to Hawaii just because for some reason the mail's been super slow lately (Sally I JUST got your letter even though you mailed it over a WEEK ago! Lame, I know) but I hope everyone is doing great and I'm SO excited to be an instrument of Heavenly Father and be able to share His gospel with those who he's prepared! I love you all and I invite you to really take the time to share with someone (friend, coworker, family member) the gospel. It's SO important and fear is NOT a gift from God so that should NOT ever stop you from sharing such an important message! LOVE YOU!!!! Church is true!!!
Malo lele,
Sis. Bradley
