HOLA!
It was a pretty good week! as usual
Sundays are my favorite because all though everything you do is in
Spanish, you don't sit and learn it all day, you put it into practice
and use it, which I think is the most crucial part! So how it works is
everyone goes to priesthood together (in zones) and the hermanas go to
relief society or whatever they do I'm not entirely sure-hah-but then our
zone President gives us a lesson!
The zone presidents always give the
lessons in English because they are working on their English, and that
way we understand and feel the spirit a lot more. After that you go to
sacrament meeting and everyone has to have a 5 min talk prepared in Spanish before hand and they just select 4 random people to give them.
I've yet to be picked, and I'm okay with it;) Then you have a Devotional. Typically its a recorded talk played in front of everyone at the MTC.
These are AWESOME!On top of the "Thomas S Monson" Building this morning! still #ShiftTeam
In priesthood, they showed a
really cool clip that I've seen before and I'm sure all of you have seen
before but I want to share it with you anyways. Its called "Death Crawl Scene" on youtube from the movie "Facing the Giants" and its pretty
cool! Its about giving your very best, no matter what you do, you always
give your very best! This kid on the football team was basically
counting his team out for a loss and the coach called him out and told
him to do a "Death Crawl" with a player on his back. The kid said "to
the 30 yard line?" coach said "no, 50." but then he made the kid promise
to give his very best effort. So he gave him a blindfold and told him
not to give up until his body could not do any more, until his body quit, not his head. This little video clip has a lot of meaning behind
it. I'm not going to tell you how it ends, because I can't write it as
well as the video portrays it so I challenge you to take 5 min out of
your day and watch it!
Later that day in the
devotional, we watched a talk by Neil L. Andersen that he gave to the
Provo MTC about 3 weeks ago. I think Dallin barely missed him! anyways
that guy is actually pretty humorous and I enjoyed it thoroughly! But
what I took from this talk is that "There are always a million reasons
why you CANT, whats your reason why you WILL". He never really said that
during the talk but after watching that clip they both tied together
really well. So I challenge you guys to always give it your very best
and to find your reason why you are doing what your doing. If not, why
do it.
Anyways I've had a blast here but I'm
really eager to get out! I've just realized that in two days I will have
been out a month! so that's pretty exciting!
Thanks for writing me those who are, it means a lot! Love and miss you all!
