So hola hola holaaa!:) Este semana estuve MARVIOSA! Me gustan los clases, Espanol, esanando (wow both of those need accents over the n's. that looks crazy without them!) Seriously, this week was great. :) i decided to focus my email on the schedule here at the MTC because this week our teacher told us what it was like when he was here, and it is wayy different now! So here it is: Monday and Thursday we have gym for an hour in the morning-6:30-7:30am. Then we get THIRTY MINS to get ready! I challenge you all to go work out hard and then get ready, Sunday best, and off to breakfast at 8. Dale. (do it. with an accent on the e) Then desayuno. Then usually class for three hours, where we teach, have language instruction, and either get coaching for teaching (each thing is an hour), or we read the Book of Mormon together. Which is really awesome to do with a group of people. :) During the teaching hour we split the hour into 3-20min lessons. One 20 min lesson per companionship and then we switch up who goes first and stuff with a nice little chart that we have, and I got made responsible somehow to change it up every week. haha Nice. :) Feel the power, Kronk. oh. i feel it. (That's for you Rach) Well, the 20 mins goes fast but it's great teaching every day! We do teach our maestros PERO the "program" for teaching is called progressive investigator. OUr teachers each choose an investigator from their mission, when they were serving, that wasn't baptized while they were there. They tell their life story to us and "bcome them" when we teach. It is an inspired, sacred thing really because we pray for our investigators at least three tiems a day and those blessings and prayers are going straight to the real people wherever they may be! neat uh!? Our teachers explained it to as doing work for them vicariously like you would do work for the dead in teh temple in a sense. THey told us a crazy story that a missionary was teaching a progressuive investigator here at the mtc and then when he went out on his mission he met the real man!! ANd because he alraedy knew so much about him and had "taught him" so much, the lessons went really well and pretty fast and he was BAPTIZED!! is that not amazing!? THis is really an inspired work. I guess they're even trying a new program now where they send out missionaries who are going foreign ealier than they have been doing usually..like three or four weeks earlier!
Well, next is either companion study for an hour or personal study for an hour,(or sometime gym if its not M or TH) and then we go to almuerzo!! The food here is still bomb.:) Not sick of it yet. Then we usually have an hour of language study, and then we do a program called TALL. It is in the computer labs all around the building and it is all for LANGUAGE. We do lesson plans, learn vocab and phrases, do gramatica activities. EVERYTHING! It's muuy muy bien. We do so much language stuff every day, its really awesome, and then we teach, sing, pray, talk, study in Espanol too. haha That's one of mi parte favorito- is all the SINGING! Hermana edwards is wayy musically gifted so i stand by her and she helps me harmonize. haha We sing in Spanish and pray in Spanish before and after every class. Then after TALL (sorry back on schedule) we have class again! For Three hours! Usually the same schedule as before, so we teach our otehr investigator too! Again, for 20 mins, then when we arn't teaching we're planning or preparing for the lesson or our next lesson. class will go until 9:30, then we go to residence. :) Oh, we eat dinner too. haha Cena is at 5:45 usually and then class goes from 6:30-9:30. We have from 9:30-10:15 to get ready for bed, which the last few nights has been really funny. haha I love the hermanas in my room and in my district..since its the same. Our other hermanas left this week :( and have been out in the field since tuesday!! We miss them but it made time seem crazy fast when they left! They had been here for almost three weeks already and now gone! ITS NUTS! OH and dun dun dun......TODAY IS OUR HALF WAY MARK IN THE MTC!!!! pretty wild uh!? I have been out on a mission for a month and a few days. haha Prettayy crazy. And pretty amazing :)
Well, there's the schedge here at el CCM! :) IT differs every day of course, but we do those main things every day. TOday is Pday- obviously:)- and it's mucho differente! PERO I don't have time to write about it. haha proxima semana. and sorry for no caps....the cap button is sticky on the comp.
WEll, this week I have been studying charity and love. IT has been so awesome to study! WE listened to a talk from Elder Bednar a few sundays ago and he challenged each of to take a paper back B.O.M, choose one of Christ's attributes to study and dedicate one Book to eaach characteristic. He said by the time we're his age we shoudl have a whole libraray of B.o.M that are highlighted, marked,and filled with info for us and our posterity and friends.:) SO i started my charity B.O>M this week:) I invite each of you to take the challenge as well.
I love being out on a mission and I love being set apart as a servant of the Lord! What a cool and incredible thing it is! Every one is a missionary tho, and don't let Satan tell you that you can't share your bag of gold (your testimony and love for gospel) with others! Who wouldn't want some gold? AND if you had enough for everyone,. why wouldn't you want to share gold with those that you love?? SERIOUSLY! haha i love you all sooooooo much! I hope these emails are getting around and to Grandpa Pete...he's written me twice so please email him :) GRACIAS for everything!!! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!! Love hermana Wilcock :)
