Hola everyone!! Here's another weekly update from your wolf lovin Hermana Atendido XD
Alright. So beginning on Thursday last week, the past days have been... too fast!! OmiG, it seriously feels like yesterday I just sent out an MTC Days email to you all. So, time to start telling you all about awesome spiritual things that I've experienced lately, including a few of the shenanigans that go on with my district and zone ^_^
So on Saturday, for some reason one of the Elders in my district, along with mi companera Hermana Ott4, decided to make sure that everyone had a spirit animal, or just an animal that we each remind him as. The Elder originally started giving us animals about a few weeks ago, but the two of them made it official that day, and I even drew everyone's animals. And apparently, according to Hermana Otte in combination to everyone's agreement, I'm a fluffy hyper silly black Pomeranian puppy that is part wolf. Very specific, but I'm not really complaining XD
Other than that, nothing much special happened :P
Sunday was one of the best days. So on our temple walk, we had almost everyone with us, except poor Hermana Otte cause she was sick and couldn't come. But we had some awesome pictures taken and I was in a slight photographer-ish mood. So I took a couple of flower pics, did a reflection picture with the Hermanas in my district and then with our whole zone. It was cool. A few of us almost fell in the fountain, but none of us got wet! Then afterwards the other Hermana companionship in our district decided to recreate this painting that a member painted and donated to the MTC. They got the colors of the outfit to match the girls in the painting and I helped position them so that they look alike. It was awesome X3
On Monday nothing much happened other than teaching and classes and preparing, and always something spiritual happening. Though, in the morning, it was kind of funny, but there's this Hermana in our zone whose district already left, but because she went through back surgery last week, she's staying here until she's fully healed. Because she can't move much, she needs to stay in bed with a companion to watch her and we've been taking shifts in getting her meals and staying with her. Me and my companion were supposed to get her breakfast, so in order to go early, I wore my glasses to save time. We ate our breakfast first before bringing Hermana Garcia her breakfast. The funny elder that gave everyone a 'spirit animal' teasingly said 'Hermana Atendido, you look so different with your glasses on, oh wait, you're not hermana Atendido. Where's your companera Hermana Otte'. He's so silly, but then again, so is everyone in my district XD
Tuesday was St. Patrick's day and devo day. I escaped the day of pinching by drawing a clover on my hand XD Also, we did something a little different than the regular TRC. Instead of meeting with members face-to-face, we met with them on skype from other countries. Me and my companion met with someone named Erik Soto from Guatemala and we exchanged scriptures with each other and said why we liked them. It was cool. Same schedule of lessons, teaching, and classes, but it was the night time that was just an amazing spiritual time. Don R. Clarke of the Seventy came over to talk to us, and he talked about the 10 Thins a Missionary Should Know. It was amazing. Everything he said was worth writing down, but there was so much. I had three pages of things that he said written down and yet more things that I wished I had caught. Not only that, but he was walking around the room and through the aisles as he talked, getting everyone involved and just getting close to everyone yet at the same time getting everyone's attention with amazing spiritual things. One of the ones that he said was he was talking about what Moses might have felt when he was leading thousands of people and then met with the Red Sea. Of course, he was applying everything to missionary work, so he said 'don't let the Red Sea divide you, you divide the your Red Sea' or something like that. Seriously got so many goosebumps from that devo
Wednesday was really fun. So, it was the day that new missionaries come to the MTC and we were finally getting a new district. The rest of our zone was really excited for it. The other district was hosting the new missionaries while my district hosted trafficking. At first I didn't think it would be fun, but as we helped the cars go to certain spots and either on the north or south part of the MTC, we found it to be more fun than we thought. We got reflective vests and white gloves. It was also interesting to see how that was me several weeks ago. Except, I was only dropped off by a family friend. I got to see happy and excited faces of new missionaries and their friends and siblings and the happy/sad crying faces of their families and relatives, and I just couldn't help but think/want to say to them something like 'don't worry, they'll do awesome.' Idk, it was just an interesting sight to see the arrival of new missionaries from a different perspective.
Thursday... Nothing special. Again. But still great with everything in between. I will say though, that the new district is cool. We were originally going to have 4 Elders and 5 sisters, but we ended up having 3 elders and 4 sisters. Esta bien (It's good), we still have fun with them talking spanish and them looking like 'O.o what are you saying??'
Well, that's it for today. This is also the second to last Pday that I will have in the MTC. We were all talking about it yesterday and so I acted like the 10th Doctor in Doctor Who, turned to my companion and told her "I don't want to go" XD She was like 'no!! don't say that!!' ... She doesn't want to leave either. I love my MTC experience and I hope to never forget about it or forget to talk about it after my mission.
Okay, now bye. Adios!!
