MTC!

Hey I made it into the MTC! I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it because I'm an emotional baby! Luckily though the second I got here I was just super happy to be here! The MTC has been great! besides the lack of sleep and the language ... which is most of it! But I really love it here! I am so tired and frustrated though. Tagalog is a language unlike any other. It has Spanish roots so I always want to say Spanish words! But it is nothing like Spanish! Also it is just so out of my element! But I am picking it up slowly and I really like it! My companions name is Elder Alvarez Portillo and he is an El Salvadorian Australian! haha he speaks two languages already but now he has to learn a third so he is a great man! haha It's funny though because he sometimes gets really nervous about what he is going to say in Tagalog and he sometimes just looks at me for support/ to tell him what he is going to say. The problem is ... I never know the word either so we just sit there awkwardly. We are teaching an investigator who only speaks Tagalog here! It is so hard because I have no idea what she is saying! I also can't say anything in Tagalog so we sometimes just sit there giving each other weird looks! But I really love her and plus she’s 21 and kinda cute! haha joking!!! but kind of serious too! haha Anyways I think she will be baptized because I know that the spirit has testified to her that this is true. I am so glad the spirit has been here. I finally have seen how the spirit works and how it can speak to me. Our 2nd lesson with our investigator kind of went sour because we were so focused on the language. I decided to teach by the spirit instead our 3rd time seeing her. It really made a huge difference and with the help of my district we are optimistic about her conversion. Anyways My district is great! They are like my new family and they have really helped me through the hard times! Especially with staying awake.. I know i have said this but I AM SOO SLEEPY! haha P day I took a nap and it was like a miracle! I love NAPS! well I have to run! Love ya

(Love)
