MTC Week 6

Hey Everybody!

Only two and half weeks left!! The MTC has been incredible! and I will miss it a ton, but I'm also ready to get out of here! hahah Don't get me wrong it's great!! But learning so much about Albania and having spent so much time preparing to speak it and teach it, really makes you want to go! SO bad!!  Albanian is so beautiful and I can't wait to be able to speak it well!  We have all taken guesses of where our first area is going to be!!  We all think I'm gonna be born in Tirana, but IDK we'll see what the teachers say haha I'll let you know their guesses! I have sorta got into drawing with a friend/fellow missionary in my district Elder Squire!  It surprisingly calms me down in times of stress and when I get a little too overworked which is always a blessing hahah.

The Language is coming a long! I'm really starting to understand all of the grammar principles and conjugations and stuff haha which is good because it was giving me a hard time before! But it is coming together :) I just need to work my absolute heart out for the rest of the MTC, just so I can be ready for Albania haha then work my heart out there! :) Which I am excited to do!  Speaking of Albania! They just got a new Stake!! Their first one!! Which is really exciting!!! It is such an honor to go after all the hard work from all the RM's from Albania and all the worthy members from and living there!!  I am really excited to get there but pretty glad that I get a couple more weeks to prepare!

SO EMILY (soon to be Sister Simons) IS COMING NEXT WEEK!!  I am so excited to have my older sister be in the MTC with me!! She has been SUCH a good example to me throughout my life!! She is gonna be such an amazing missionary!! Also Get this!! So She is going to serve in the Hungary, Budapest Mission! So she will be in my zone!! And her class room will be right next to mine! SO I'll be seeing a lot of her and I can show her the ways of the MTC hahah. 

I've moved from playing basketball at gym to playing volleyball hahah my Slight friends would be so proud! hahah so a bunch of elders from my district have all started playing volleyball and so we're are slowly getting better! I did start to get better at basketball so maybe I'll switch off every other day hahah.  

So Life is still good here and I am so happy to be here and to be doing the Lord's work!  It is such a humbling experience and I'm so grateful for it!  I love the Lord and the wonderful gift of the Gospel and the Atonement that He has given to us! Everything that is good is from our Heavenly Father! So I'm working on always thanking Him for the blessing in my life!

I love you all!!

Me and Elder Temple, a really good friend!!
