Que en el mundo?!? Where has the time gone?? This email will be the last email I write in the at home MTC and that is absolutely crazy! I got my flight plans and I leave this Monday, September 28th at 6:00am!! I am so beyond stoked to get out there and serve my fellow brothers and sisters. This week has been the same as all the others filled with TRC's, fake investigator lessons, and a ton of espanol.  I  went through the temple on Saturday! I was so blessed to have some of my favorite people (family, leaders and friends) come join me in this huge milestone in my life! The garments are comfy to say the least, I had to retire all of my short shorts, sad to see them go. But I am so beyond grateful to have a temple so close by and the opportunity we have to go there to come closer to God. It is truly a blessing we often take for granted.  Gilbert Temple  9/19/2020 I had an interview with my mission president over zoom today! His name is President Vest and he's honestly so cool. Ap

Hola a todos!!! It is absolutely insane that I am already ONE MONTH into the mission! Where did the time go?? I am absolutely loving every second of it and I am so eager to go out and finally teach some real people!! Sorry I didn't write an email last week nothing crazy really happened so I just sent the link to my farewell! Thank you to everyone who listened to my farewell and sent me really nice texts. It truly meant so much to me!! These past two weeks consisted of the same 7 hours worth of classes and teaching TRCs and fake "investigators". I guess you can say my district and I have started to get a little restless and we have all just about reached that point in the MTC where we just want to get out and go teach. I'm definitely going to need to stay very disciplined these next couple of weeks haha! I feel like I have learned enough Spanish to get around but maybe that's just my arrogance talking. My farewell talk went amazing! It was one of the first times I

Hellooooooooo everyone! Week 2 of the at home MTC is down the hatch! I can't believe how fast it has blown by! I feel like at this point I have fully adjusted to my new life and accepted that this is what it's gonna be like for 99 more weeks. But hey, don't get me wrong I am absolutely loving it! I have learned so much and my Spanish has been improving exponentially. The fact that I am now able to sit down and actually read a book has been shocking to me and my family ahaha. I don't think I have ever studied more in my entire life and I am starting to build some amazing study habits which will definitely be a saving grace in college. My high school study habits were a hot mess! I set very high goals for myself from the beginning of this MTC experience and I have worked my way up to memorizing 80-100 new words everyday! At least for the past three days or so. I have learned so much from the scriptures this past week and my testimony for them grows stronger each and every
