Super cheesy subject but I am in the MTC.. what can you expect. Well I can't believe I am here writing you for the second time already. This week has been SO amazing! I have to start with some thank you's to everyone for the emails, the letters, the Packages form Mom and from George's mom! (George I left you mom's email at my apartment will you forward this to her? Or I will just email her next week!) anyone! Mom we loved the bagels we ate them on our way to the temple this morning! (Saturday morning bagels :) It's still a thing!) anyways just thank you! George's mom sent me a costco box of candy's so my district was SO SO grateful for those snacks as well! And the sister's rings! Oh man so freaking cute! Thanks sisters!!! So where to begin.. last Sunday I ran into the Hartman's at church!! So sweet! I got some letters saying you all saw the video! That was seriously so awesome. I hope you all liked it. Cause I was excited about it. Then we had a devotional! I went to main with my comp. and I was keeping an eye out for george. right before it starts guess who I see.. :) GEORGE!! I booked it to him! I may have tripped going up the stairs and almost lost my skirt BUT that caught some missionaries attention included george's so we saw eachother! And we got pics! We even go to sit next to eachother during the devotional! It was seriously the best! Then in the devotional they had missionaries come up and share their conversion stories it was so awesome! Then on Monday We taught our investigator alejandra for the second time. Our spanish had improved and teaching SO much from the first time we taught. we left the lesson just singing: "we didn't totally suck!" over and over again hahaaha! Then on Tuesday, we taught again and improved a little more.. I love how we have investigators in the MTC. Expect TRC sounds so scary. We just go and talk to random people on Tuesdays starting next week in spanish! AH! The investigators we teach now are workers. Dano did you do TRC? Also on like our 4th week we will start to skype with people in Mexico that have contactedmissionary.org with question.. so crazy! Then tuesday night we had another devotional. (I saw george again! Yay!) But Hma. Clubb and I are in the choir of about 400 missionaries. It is awesome so we sang with the choir on Tuesday at the devotional which was awesome cause we sang for Elder Bednar! Our speaker! He gave every missionary a cellphone on christmas to text him questions I guess and he got over 1000 questions.. obviously haha so he came and answered some of the questions it was awesome! I loved it! The devotional was broadcast to every MTC arounnd the world.. kinda cool. K wednesday I had kind of my first breakdown.. haha the language can be just frustrating sometimes because they tell us not to focus on the language in the lessons but then I get caught up sometimes trying to form sentences anyways.. I know I shouldn't but sometimes I honestly just can't help it! Or so it feels like that. haha but I keep improving little by little so that is good. k thursday..I got mom's package and the ring! Best day ever haha love it. I love that mom sent me bagels. We keep getting food so at night in our apartment we just have food parties.. we are all going to be so fat by the time we leave this place.. thursday was also the last time we taught alejandra. I love her so much! She gave my comp and I Peruvian chocolates.. the sweetest! She is also from El Salvador so we bounded over papusas (i promise to NEVER mention papusas in a letter again hahaha) then on Friday she comes to our class we are like Alejandra what are you doing? Turns out she is now our teacher hhahaha! So awesome. Hmm.. on friday another Hermana in my district and I got matching Mexico shirts from the bookstore. There is a picture of us that I will send to.. I seriously am turning into a nerdy sister missionary already.. just wait for the picture. But yeah last night we had a "sleepover" at our apartment all the hermana's brought their food from packages and we shared stories from home. It was so much fun and we even finished in time for quiet time! (25 minute sleepover hhaahahaha) it really was so much fun though! We may just do it every week! Well family I love you all so much. I have dreams about all of you every night so I feel like I see you guys all the time haha it is kind of nice. I am loving it here at the MTC though. I love love love the Hermana's I am with! They are like family to me right now. Last night as Hma. Clubb and I were lying in bed she says "Love you, Hermana Gillette" "love you too, Hermana Clubb" It made me feel a little at home. It was nice. I love my companion. I have lucked out so far. Hope you all are doing amazing! I think about you all everyday! You are all in my poorly said spanish prayers! haha Glad to hear everyone is doing well!
Love,
Hermana Gillette
