This week my companion got sick with a really bad cold and was throwing up :( Unfortunately, but a blessing at the same time, another sister in my room also was sick so they stayed together and I didn't miss anything. I have been praying and chugging Emergen-C to hopefully not get sick.
This week some important Chinese guy came and we were all thinking it was to see if they want to open up China to the missionaries! We were all so excited and are hoping that they are in the process of letting missionaries in. How awesome would it be to get transferred from Hong Kong to Mainland China to share the gospel?!
Well if I was English, I would be out of the MTC, if I was Spanish, I would be halfway done, but because of the wonderful Mandarin language I am only a third of the way done! But I suppose I should count my blessings because I am not prepared enough to teach and leave.
A group of missionaries left on Monday and Tuesday, which made me even more excited to leave! But I was like wait, 6 more weeks... They were all so happy to go and were as ready as they could be. BUT, that means we get new missionaries today. 4 new sisters and 2 elders! Our zone is going to be so tiny now and it will take a little time to get used too!
This week was great! It went by super fast because of General conference, but it was also super weird because we had so much time in between sessions, and before it even started to just like chill and did not really have a schedule.
Anyway, every session was so good and I think it is so interesting how every general authority speaks on relatively the same thing! I found the theme was very similar to my purpose as a missionary (forgiveness, repentance, the atonement, building our faith in Christ and unique messages about why sacrament is so important!) I truly love this gospel!
There was so much about missionary work I felt that helped me. One thing was the importance of opening your mouth and not being afraid. Someone and at sometime (I lost all sense of time here) said, "Whenever you are trying to share the gospel, you receive an A+" All we are asked to do is simply try!
Last, because I am myself I had a couple blonde moments this week that everyone is still teasing me about haha.
1. Some elder was talking about how he was taller than me even when he was standing on a step down and I say, "That's weird I feel like I am tall for my height."
2. Talking about missionaries with disabilities and different languages, "Do you think deaf people learn to read braille."
Glad I still am keeping some people entertained hahaha. Genius...I know!!!
Something to think about this week from Elder Uchtdorfs talk, "What will we give in return for how much we have received?"

So I wrote this in the journal of an Elder who was leaving the MTC.
All the sisters noticed, but nobody wanted to say anything, so of course I was like...I'll do it.
Oh the ways to have fun here in the MTC :)
(You wear really tight pants,not that it's a bad thing, just wanted to let you know we noticed)
