Last week at the MTC!

So, I’ve gotten the unfortunate news that my blog hasn’t been getting a lot of attention, but that’s because I haven’t been supplying any material. I stopped doing it by email because 30 minutes of computer time seemed like a long time, but really it isn’t. I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately, so I haven’t had much time to write a blog one. Hopefully, when my dad reads this, he’ll compose and email, forward it to everyone who wants to read it, then post it on the blog. You’d better, dad!

So, my last week began today, the 2nd, and I’m super pumped to get out of the MTC/Spiritual Prison! LOL! Anyways, P-day on the 26th was, meh. Just a regular day. But an unexpected letter from a good friend made it so much better. That made my day, especially when I stayed up till 11:15pm just to respond to it. Tuesday was meh too. The devotional was good though. I always enjoy those. Wednesday, I hosted new elders for the first (of two) times. I hosted an elder going to Sweden, and a Tongan elder going to Peru. It was fun because I watched them go through all the stuff I went through my first day, and I felt very senior. My Thursday, TRC was cut very short, and thankfully so! We were teaching the Plan of Salvation in Spanish. Neither me nor my companion were really ready. So it could’ve been worse  Friday was hard for me. I’ve been having problems staying awake again. Not good at all! Saturday was too long, too. 7 hours of teachers, and nothing to distinguish the day. (Monday: P-day, Tuesday: Devotional, Wednesday: Service, Thursday: TRC, Friday: Large Group Meeting, Sunday: Fireside and Film, Saturday: NADA!!) Sunday was long too! Fast Sundays in the MTC are hard. But, I’m alive so I can’t complain. This P-day has so far been typical: Endowment Session at the temple, 1 ½ hours of laundry, and many more hours writing letters.

All right, my Aunt and Uncle want to know how I am doing, so I’d like to respond to them specifically and thank them for following my blog. “I’m doing fine. And no, I don’t know anyone here from Ephraim. If we meet, I’ll make sure I mention it. Besides, how do you know him is my question to you.”

So that’s about it. I’ll try to write an entry every week. Until next week, adios mis amigos!
