Week 3

7-3-18

Wow, this week flew by! It really is true that in the MTC days feel like weeks and weeks feel like days. 

On Wednesday we had a workshop, TRC (fake or real investigator I'm not really sure) and then a PI, teachers who basically say yes to whatever we ask them to do. Which sounds dumb but it helps a lot more than you'd think. 

Thursday was pretty much the same exact thing except we didn't have a PI that day. Also I went to physical therapy for my neck in hopes that it will reduce the headaches and light sensitivity and sound sensitivity. They gave me a beachball so definitely worth it 

Friday was the same as Wednesday. But one thing changed a little bit, my head didn't hurt too bad! HUGE plus 

Saturday was the same as Friday and Wednesday. But at the end of the day getting ready for bed I smashed my head into the ceiling and couldn't get to sleep cause of the headaches, super good day though. 

Sunday, the dreaded day of fasting in the MTC. It isn't actually that bad, just every time you would be eating they fill the time.with meetings. So it's just a big meeting that lasts the entire day. But it was good. The spirit was super strong and it was a really good day overall. Then, night time hit (uh oh) I jumped into bed and pushed off the ground to hard and guess what... I hit my head again. Oh well i guess. I remember saying "fish dang it I hate this ceiling. I'm going to bed" then I fell asleep right after that so that was kinda nice

Monday was good, the ancient ones (elders who've been here for three weeks) started leaving today so that was kinda sad. They're all good guys and they'll all do really well out in the field. We also got a new TRC so that'll be good. He's super nice and he's got lots of questions he wants answers to, Elder Chatman and I already have a plan. Solid stuff. 

I'm loving it here at the MTC, it's always super busy and the schedule is packed. Any free time is spent studying, preparing lessons, preparing talks, and of course, pranks. It's been a good two weeks. 

Next week my P-Day is Saturday so I'll be sending out an email then. Also since we're going to be in airports and flying all day, we were told that we can email through the whole thing (I'll be at the airport for almost 5 hours before takeoff so I'd love to have some conversation here and there! haha. 

Love and miss everyone lots! Hope everything is going super well for you all!
