First off, let´s start with a word to the wise:
When you have sick scar tissue (like the kind from Mud Volleyball injuries), it is best not to play volleyball, dive for the ball, and split it open again. :) But, on the bright side, I have a companion that loves to doctor up the injured. I´m confident to say that I am in good hands! Thou shalt fret not.
MTC life is weird, y´all. Nothing much changes in my life from day to day. I realized recently that I don´t talk in "I" anymore, it´s always "we". Having a companion does weird things to one´s brain. Also, Spanish is ruining my life. I Spanglish everything soooo sorry. :)
The elders in our district are seriously the funniest! Our teachers have decided to change things up for us these last two weeks and we´ve now started teaching each other. We make up investigator stories and then we alternate being the investigators and the missionaries. This week Hermana Hansen and I are the missionaries so we teach like 8 lessons, but next week we´ll be the investigator so I think we only teach 2 lessons (to the investigators we´ve been teaching all along). Yesterday we taught Elder Keyes and Elder Olsen. Elder Keyes pretended to be a teenager that lived with his grandma that was interested in the church because his friends are members....so Olsen played the grandma. It was hilarious and I´m really excited that we get to teach them because they´re our favorite companionship in the district.
The longer I´m here, the more I notice my patience being tested. Especially when the boys stop acting like missionaries and start acting like 18-year-olds. Then, it just makes me feel old, so that´s weird....
General Conference was amazing!!! I definitely wanna just soak it all up again and again! I hope everyone had a chance to watch it, and follow up on President Monson´s invitation to study them more! I personally love that Elder Bednar spoke specifically to nonmembers, that was excellent!
Being a missionary has changed my life! I miss my friends and my family like you wouldn´t believe, but I wouldn´t change this experience for the world! This gospel changes people and when we act on the invitations from the scriptures and from our prophet and apostles we will naturally come closer to Christ, feel the love that he has for us, and want to share that love with everyone we come in contact with! The gospel is SO COOL. Live it fully because it will bless you forever!
I´m out of time, but I love you all! Peace out :)
