Week two!! I am feeling so good about life! It feels like yesterday I was just emailing y'all! Time is flying by! I love the MTC so much and I am learning so much and it is so much fun!! This week, like last week, was spent a lot inside a class being taught in Español.
My fun story for the week...we were doing an activity on stress and so our teacher took all our name tags and threw them on the ground. All of us had a mini heart attack cause it felt like she was throwing our callings on the ground like they were nothing. But then she had us chase for them and find each others like some kind of race thing. Anyways, she was showing us the importance of exercise. Which I have to say is like one of my favorite parts of my day.
Although my favorite day of the week is Sunday and Pday. Sunday is so awesome. We have relief society first, which is kind of weird, but awesome at the same time. All the American hermanas meet together and the class is taught by the CCM president's wives. Then we have Sunday school as a district. My district just talks about the topic and what we all know about the topic. Both of those are in English!!! Then we have sacrament meeting but it is in Spanish. We have to prepare a talk every week because you don't know who is speaking until they announce right then at the beginning. Kinda nerve wracking. But everything is in Spanish. This past week, because it was fast Sunday, all the missionaries had to get up and give their testimony in Spanish. It is so cool that in the moments I feel the spirit the most my Spanish is the best! I know the Holy Ghost is helping the learn the language. Anyways, after church we have a class by the MTC presidency. Then a devotional that is one from a past Provo MTC devotional. Then at the end of the day we have video time. They show a slide show of all the elders and hermanas who are leaving that week. Then they show other church videos. I have to say I love those videos. The spirit is so strong in them it is a little over whelming.
I have to say the biggest thing I have learned this week is listening to the Holy Ghost. I was reading in Preach My Gospel and it said that when someone else is talking we need to not think about our response but wait until have they are done talking to listen to the words the Holy Ghost will put in your heart to respond to them. I have been trying to do that all week and it has made a huge difference in my life especially as a missionary. I encourage y'all to really take the time to listen to what the Holy Ghost has to say because I know it will help you so much in your life. I am grateful for each and everyone of you! You are a blessing in my life! I love the Savior Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father!
