MAN! i have never given so many fist bumps in my whole life! every one loves to give fist bumps its too the point where the mtc sister adults will get mad cuz filipinos will try to give you knuckles during the mtc devotional as you sit down until they are told not to. they are funny people i love messing arounf with them cux they are always smiling.
Any way thursday! One of the tongan missinoaries in my district fell and rolled his ankle playing volleyball! it was whack and with how big he is you know it was a hard fall! volleyball is so fun to play during the physical exercise time. All of us always look forward to it cuz the days sometimes in the mtc get long! our investigator we taught, we asked her if she wanted to get baptized and she said yes but in time and then all of the sudden we are doing the our first investigator interview and BAM! the lady that we were teaching ends up being our second teacher! we were so shocked and it was so weird! she was a great actor! what they do is the portray people close to them and pretend they are investigators we are teaching. So as soon as we were done teaching her we got "new investigators". surprisingly enough its not weird teaching our teachers cuz when we are in there we get so into. but now we cant really speak taglish (a mixture of english and tagalog) we have to go just straight tagalog. hahaha it takes patience cuz we only gospel words so sometimes its hard to understand what they are responding and communicating and feeling but i do my best to just listen and go for it and speak what i know whether its wrong or right. For the most part think they understand me pretty well. [] we will get there.
EVERYDAY there is so much food! im stuffed! i am gonna get fat. i need to start trying to work everything off cuz the mtc for 6 weeks is going to kill me. the days felt so long in the beginning but now it is flying by!
i was so happy when it was sunday because let me tell you how nice it is to finally have a day thats different in the mtc. i love being district leader. i facilitated a district meeting and we talked so long abotu christ like attributes. we are trying to focus more on serving others and doing little things and its awesome. truly when you serve you are able to forget about things and feel so much love peace and happiness.
the lesson i facilitated on sunday about the book of mormon went fantastic. the spirit was strong and we really just discussed about how important the book of mormon is in our life. it makes me wish i had more time to kick back and read it because just being here i have learned a lot from reading the book of mormon. its helped guide me on how i need to change for the better and be more christ like because there are so many small things we can to be christ like that will help us live a happier life. I definitely feel it when i see all of the philipiinos and just hug them and joke around with them.
being aroung [missionaries] is great except for when i cant tell if all the water on the ground is pee or if its water from the sink when they splash evverywhere and wash their face...i really am shooting for water becuase i walk on that floor. [] ANOTHER gross thing about the bathroom was that i found little red worms in the toilet just swimming around like theres not tommorrow. so gross but its okay they are just little sewage worms and they are normal. still pretty freaky tho.
so this whole time ive been in the mtc i thought that cuz we were in the philippines that we only get cold water...NOPE. NOT TRUE PEOPLE. turns out ive been eating the canned beans and drinking powdered lemonade (reference to talk given by uchtdorf living under our priveleges). i have been suffering with not hot water. i mean its not too bad but hey i want hot water as much as i can before i leave out to the field. But its not our fault we are just i think the only room who's hot water pressure doesnt work. so hopefully that will get worked out soon.
One last thing before i go...who won the Bachelorette???? someone tell me
Anyway the mtc is good. ive learned that there is more i could be doing to improve and its been a great experience. I want to make my father in heaven proud and i hope i will be able to as i work more diligently and try to come closer to him.
Alam ko po na ang totoong ebanghelyo ni jesucristo. alam ko po na ang pagmahal ng diyos.
couldve messed up a little but i know this gosepl is true and i know that god is loving. Sa pangalan ni jesucristo, amen (in the name of jesus christ, amen).
I love and miss you all, may we all remember to share our love with everyone and let them know that God and Christ love them.
