Spanish is still coming along. My companion and I have set some new goals that should speed up our learning. Another elder recommended a scripture that gave us a little motivation. Check out Judges 12:6 if ya have time.
One night I stayed up late (yes, against the rules, pero esta bien), because I was studying Spanish, and I was sitting in the common area of our floor. Our floor is made up of sisters from all around the world going everywhere in the world. Well, apparently the Asian sisters have a party every night from like 10:30 to midnight and I can't believe I just found out. While I was studying, a bunch of the Asian sisters all of a sudden came out of their rooms with bowls of noodles and chopsticks and all this other food and started putting it on the table. One even brought out a huge teapot and placed it down along with the huge assortment. Where did they even get one of those? Did they bring it? Where did all that other food come from? Do they in fact have a kitchen in their room? They were all laughing and having so much fun. They do that every. night. I'm going to try to join one of these days. I wonder if they'll accept my bag of mints as my contribution.
The MTC is getting more and more crowded as we head into summer. Next week, we are supposed to get 32 new missionaries in our zone! Crazy, pero esta bien.
Another random story. Last P-day, my companion and I were doing laundry. We were doing it later in the day, because that P-day was really busy since we had to prepare a lot of stuff that we had to do on Sunday. Entonces, I was really tired and kind of out of it. We were on our way out, and I was carrying my heavy bag of laundry, and all of a sudden this senior sister jumps in front of me and yells, "COOKIES?!?" I dropped my laundry and slammed against the laundry machines because it scared the heeby jeebies out of me. Just kidding, that was a little exaggerated, but she did kind of come from nowhere and it surprised my companion and I and we can't even remember if we answered or not. I think I just said, "No sorry, thanks, pero esta bien."
At the temple today, another old guy stopped us to give us advice. I don't think I mentioned it, but last week a guy stopped us too. At least that time he just gave us a 15 minute lecture. This time, we received a lecture AND a quiz. He would start rattling off and then go, "Okay, now repeat everything I just said." After the first time, I made sure to really pay attention to what he was saying. It was hard, because he was old, and I could barely understand him (and he was speaking English, I can't imagine what it's going to be like in Ecuador). However, I think I passed.
Did you all watch the "Be One" broadcast. Oh my goodness, I thought it was soooo good! I highly recommend you all watch it!
I have one more month in the MTC, then I'm off to Ecuador! This time of preparation is precious and I'm trying my best! It's feels so good to be a missionary!
Love you all!
