Headed to California

Hey everyone. So, this is the last thing I'm writing in the MTC. I leave on Wednesday, and I'm ready to leave. I'm so done with 4+ hours of class daily, a lack of different activities, and BYU hamsters (the chicken cordon-bleu). Also, I am ready for a new companion. I love Elder Grandy, but I'm ready for someone new. As for the last week here, here's how it goes:

Monday: Just a typical P-day. But, we went to the temple for the 6am session. There was NO ONE there, practically. So we got through that quickly.
Tuesday: The devotional was awesome. The speakers gave the great advice of, "No recuerdo!" (Google translate that one, you'll LOL!)
Wednesday: I hosted new elders again. I got one going to Sweden, I believe, and one from Australia. So, I'm not even sure what else new I can say.
Thursday: My final TRC. I thought it was our best. Mainly because we used Starbursts to explain the law of tithing :)
Friday: a typical Friday, but the LGM was nothing new.
Saturday: I realized I was ready to leave. Crazy.
Sunday: Some elders were leaving on Monday. We spent the whole day with each other. It's amazing how much you can bond with someone in just two months.

So, nothing too much is happening ahorita(right now). I'm just packing, and I'll next be writing home from California. Until next time, see ya, and HAZ LO JUSTO (just do it!).

*Side Note: I spoke with Marcus on the phone this morning. It was great to hear from him. He was at the airport, boarding his plane within the hour. He said he was excited to go to California but a little nervous. He said he would just use the words "No Recuerdo!" until he could understand or talk in Spanish. He is a little nervous about the language, but feels that he will be lead by the spirit. I asked him if he was nervous about the food, he said "If it's any better than the food at the MTC, I'm sure I will live!" Haha he did mention that he loved the BYU creamery ice cream every sunday and Wednesday. So he is well. We're proud of him!*
